In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Many on the left accused Trump of spreading an outright lie about illegal immigrant voters.
To assess the claim, O'Reilly talked to retired ICE Special-Agent-In-Charge Claude Arnold, who said he "routinely" arrested illegal immigrants who had voter registrations.
"I worked in six locations across the United States. I probably arrested more than 1,000 illegal aliens in my career and I routinely encountered people who were in possession of voter registration cards. And as a part of my interview of them when they were arrested, I would ask them, "Do you or have you voted?' and often, I would get the answer 'yes,'" he explained.
Arnold agreed with O'Reilly's statement that "it's easy to do it and it's being done."
Arnold said that there is a very high demand for counterfeit documents like a drivers license because a large swath of the illegal population want to work.
He said there are often several illicit document vendors in neighborhoods with high illegal immigrant populations.
Because some states only require a drivers license number to be recorded to register to vote, or apply for an absentee ballot, the illegal registrations "are not necessarily picked up," he said.
