Obama: first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself.
Simple translation is you need to be a citizen in order to vote. So if you vote, you are a citizen yourself.
No different than you need to be a lawyer to practice law, so when you practice law, you're a lawyer yourself.
Cavuoto:
Illegal voted
“…Obama was cleverly giving a green light for illegal voting while giving himself plausible deniability that he was not doing so. Note that he didn’t take issue with Rodriguez’ absurd notion that the mere fact of being present in the country and “contributing,” whatever that means (others would say “leeching”), makes one a “citizen.” Given this, Obama’s statement that “when you vote, you are a citizen yourself” could be taken to mean that the mere act of “participating” in our civic life makes you a citizen in spirit.
Note also that Obama subsequently said that you have even more of a reason to cast a ballot if you have relatives who “can’t
legally vote” (emphasis added). Does this imply that they
“can” — a word denoting capability, not what one should do ethically — vote illegally? After all, they certainly can, given that illegals can obtain driver’s licenses in many states, and proof of citizenship may not be a prerequisite for voting. Realize, too, that Obama has been flooding the US with illegals, ordering they not be deported and that the border patrol stand down. It’s logical to assume he’s doing this for a reason.” Undermining America: Did Obama Just Encourage Illegals to Vote?
