Did Obama encouraged "illegal aliens" to vote and said there would be no consequences if they do?

FALSE

ORIGIN:In the final count down to the upcoming election on 8 November 2016, Fox News host Neil Cavuto expressed disbelief over what he claimed to be remarks by President Barack Obama that encouraged undocumented immigrants to vote illegally. Other conservative outlets soon followed suit, with the Gateway Pundit calling the comments "criminal":

Barack Obama openly called on illegal aliens to vote in Tuesday’s election.
This whole administration is lawless!

They lie at every turn.
They lied to get Obamacare passed.
They lied about Benghazi.
They lied about Hillary’s private server and emails.

And now they are calling on illegal aliens to vote.

The claim originates from an interview with Obama published on 3 November 2016, in which millennial actress Gina Rodriguez asked the president about a number of issues facing young Latinos. Many of the outrage posts were written around a video in which the majority of the president's response was edited out to give the misleading impression that Obama was urging undocumented immigrants to vote illegally:



FALSE: Obama Encouraged 'Illegal Aliens' to Vote

Why do people spread such lies? Here is the doctored/edited video:

From the article:

In the full interview, it's clear Obama is urging Latino citizens to vote in order to give voice to members of their community who are precluded from doing so by lack of citizenship, not urging non-citizens to vote illegally.

OBAMA: ... who may not have a voice. Who can't legally vote. But they're counting on you to make sure that you have the courage to make your voice heard.

Whether he was or was not suggesting that invading foreign criminals should vote, a point that is being dismissed is that they have no right, in any event, to any voice, to any say, in how this country is to be run.

Only citizens are entitled to any such voice, and that is why only citizens are legally allowed to vote. This country is to be run in the manner that best serves its own citizens, and not for the benefit of foreigners, whether they are here as welcome guests, or as illegal invaders.

To hold the interests of invading foreign criminals above that of this nation's citizens is treason.

Can't you read and comprehend plain English?
