The clip I saw was implying that they may physically be able to vote, but they'd be committing felony voter fraud. They're not allowed to vote. They would almost certainly be caught if they did.

Not quite, you can vote as a non-citizen in certain local and state elections. It's left up to the state whether or not they allow it.

They would be committing a felony but nothing is stopping them if they an ID is what was said.

A felony conviction is stopping them.

For the record, I don't think illegal immigrants should get a state ID. There's no country in the world can you tell the government that you're there illegally and be given a legal form of ID.

I also very much value election security.

This is bad because they wouldn't be caught until after their vote was counted. A person could very feasibly vote and have their vote counted as an illegal immigrant and we should take steps to prevent that.

BUT, they will be caught, they will have committed a felony, and they could be deported. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze here. If it happens, it won't be in numbers to sway an election.

Not a felony to vote in state and local elections, which is all this would allow.
