It's a motte-and-bailey argument. There's the false claim that large numbers of non-citizens vote in US elections. But there is a plausible claim that Ds want more immigrants because they think the immigrants will give them more votes (e.g., https://www.amazon.com/Emerging-Democratic-Majority-John-Judis/dp/0743254783 ); even if illegal immigrants don't vote D, won't their US-born children do so?
Sometimes R politicians make the first claim, sometimes the second, sometimes they blur the line.
