Your own LINK says ambiguous question which is a lie unto itself, and then gives an ambiguous answer "no, but yes."
You see the first answer is NO but to save face and keep the lie stirred up they headline BUT YES.
Did Obama Encourage Illegal Immigrants to Vote? No, But YES.
Idiot CHIC condiders 'no, but yes' to be s strict YES.
It's the last paragraph that distorts this discussion knowing there are useful idiots like CHIC that will turn ambiguity into political fact.
RODRIGUEZ: Many of the millennials, Dreamers, undocumented citizens -- and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country -- are fearful of voting. So if I vote, will immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?
OBAMA: Not true. And the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote.
Rodriguez then repeats that being tracked by immigration is a "huge fear" among those with illegals in their family. Obama then emphasizes that it is particularly important for people with illegal family members and friends to vote because their "speaking for family members, friends, classmates":
RODRIGUEZ: This has been a huge fear presented especially during this election.
OBAMA: And the reason that fear is promoted is because they don't want people voting. People are discouraged from voting and part of what is important for Latino citizens is to make your voice heard, because you're not just speaking for yourself. You're speaking for family members, friends, classmates of yours in school...
RODRIGUEZ: Your entire community.
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.
Regardless of the exact phrasing, the president's general point is clear: There will be no immigration backlash for those who vote
