Can you find me statements made by Democratic leaders expressly stating they want illegal aliens to vote in gubernatorial and federal elections?

ARE YOU LYING, OR IGNORANT? 

—When Obama said "when you vote, you are a citizen" he did not mean that voting caused a non-citizen to become a citizen.  Only an idiot could believe this.  Also, I presume you agree that Obama is aware that illegal immigrants are not citizens.  (If you disagree, let me know.  But even if you disagree, I would simply put you in the latter category of my question.)  If you think Obama chose his words poorly and could accidentally mislead idiots, you have utterly failed to give the evidence you purport to be giving of "Democratic leaders expressly stating they want illegal aliens to vote". 
—Clearly Obama was referring to the portion of the groups the interview described that are actual citizens, and not bullshit "fake citizens who contribute to this country".  If you disagree, please give evidence that Obama shares the interviewer's definition of the word and I will, if I find the evidence compelling, retract my question and apologize.
—Clearly, Obama was saying that a citizen with non-citizen family should vote without fear that their vote put their family at risk of deportation. 
—Gina Rodriguez, the interviewer, is in actual fact a citizen.  So his words are literally true. 
—Obama's answer continues as follows:  "If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote … 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 who may not have a voice. Who can’t legally vote."

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
