Mona Charen is worried about non-citizen immigrants voting fraudulently and tipping the scales of close elections, probably in favor of Democrats ("Voter ID laws help address election fraud," Opinions, Thursday).

Even if the one study she references is correct, where's the harm?

Considering the pitiful voter turnout among ID-holding voters, these "frauds" should be commended for risking prison time to participate in an election process that their citizen counterparts don't care enough about to get off the couch or lick an envelope.

Those election criminals pay taxes and work low-wage jobs, their children attend our schools, and they join us in church. They are vested in the community, and if they vote, it shows.

And if their votes should change election results, fine. The citizen couch potatoes have no right to complain.
