Mississippi candidates have made illegal immigration a top campaign issue with no shortage of angles this election cycle.

Delbert Hosemann, the Republican nominee for secretary of state, said he’ll keep illegal immigrants from voting in state elections. It seems to be a hollow campaign promise since there’s no proof that an illegal immigrant has cast a ballot in state elections.
