UN peacekeepers caught smuggling illegal voters into US?!

Were UN peacekeepers caught smuggling illegal voters into the United States?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : UN peacekeepers were caught smuggling illegal voters into US!

Real Raw News posted an article (archive) which claimed that UN peacekeepers were caught smuggling illegal voters into the United States!

As usual, the article is (intentionally?) long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Truth : UN peacekeepers were not caught smuggling illegal voters into US!

The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : UN peacekeepers did not try to smuggle illegal voters into US

This is really silly, but it has to be said – UN peacekeepers did not try to smuggle illegal voters into the United States.

If that actually occurred, it would have been widely reported, and condemned by people on both sides of the political divide, and everyone in between. It would have also sparked criminal and Congressional investigations.

Yet, there has been no legitimate media coverage, not even an outraged Senator or two. That’s because it never happened – it was all made up.

Unsurprisingly, the Real Raw News article offered no evidence to back up its claim, just rambling nonsense.

Fact #2 : US Marines did not kill UN peacekeepers or illegal immigrants

It also has to be said that there is no report of US Marines killing UN peacekeepers, or illegal immigrants at the US-Mexico border near Nogales, Arizona.

If any US official fired their guns into Mexican territory, never mind actually killing people on Mexican soil, it would have been a diplomatic disaster. The Mexican government would have been outraged, and demanded that the US Marines be handed over to them to be charged for murder.

It would also have been widely reported, and condemned by people in the United States and Mexico. Yet none of that happened, because it was all made up.

Needless to say, the Real Raw News article provided no evidence to back up its claim, just rambling nonsense.

Fact #3 : US Marines cannot deploy within the US

It is really silly for anyone to claim that US Marines were sent to defend the border against UN peacekeepers and/or illegal immigrants.

The Posse Comitatus Act prevents federal military personnel from being deployed within the United States, except when expressly authorised by the Constitution, or an Act of Congress.

Generally, only the President of the United States can order the deployment of US federal military personnel and federalised National Guard troops within the United States using the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Even if President Joe Biden was so inclined to send US Marines to help defend the border, he wouldn’t have ordered them to arrest and/or shoot anyone attempting to enter the United States illegally.

Fact #4 : Non-citizens cannot vote in US federal elections

While the number of illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States has increased in the post-pandemic years, they do not pose any political threat, as it is illegal for non-citizens to vote in any US federal election since 1924.

In addition, non-citizens voting in US federal elections can be punished with fines and up to one year of imprisonment, and of course, deportation, since 1996. So it is not surprising to find that non-citizen voting in the US is very rare.

For example, research by the Brennan Center for Justice in 2017 looked at 42 jurisdictions in the 2016 election, and reported that of 23.5 million votes cast, election officials only found about 30 cases of potential non-citizen voting that they referred for prosecution or further investigation.

Fact #5 : Photo shows Nepalese peacekeepers in South Sudan

The photo used by the Real Raw News article does not show UN peacekeepers at the US-Mexico border in 2024.

That photo actually shows Nepalese peacekeepers who just arrived in Juba – the capital of South Sudan to support the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on 2 April 2014 – more than 10 years ago!

Needless to say, those Nepalese peacekeepers were not in South Sudan to smuggle illegal voters into the US!

Fact #6 : Real Raw News is known for fake news

Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.

To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.

That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:
