Why We Shouldn't Have a Texas Voter ID Law

My colleague Josh Cox posted "Texas Voter ID Law" about whether voter IDs be required to vote.

     The burden the Obama Administration is referring to by requiring a photo id to vote is placed on the citizens who have no photo id which would be the poor. I personally have a friend whose family does not own documents for identification. They are not illegal aliens from Mexico. They simply are poor and had a devastating flood to their house and have lost their birth certificates, social security cards, and every identification card they had.  Currently they are trying to obtain state identification cards from the government however it has been very difficult for them to obtain photo IDs when you have no documents to your name.
This is a link explaining the requirements for obtaining a identification card from the DMV in Texas.

As you can see it costs 15$ to acquire a Texas photo ID card.  My friend's family does not have 15$ to spare. They live in a mobile home that is absolutely filthy and in the past all their money went to buying convenience store junk food since they couldn't go to a regular store to purchase better foods.
                Many citizens in the poorest sections of urban metroplexes-often African Americans-cannot afford to pay for a photo ID. This requirement of a photo ID separates the desperately poor from the rest of us whom can pay for a photo ID.  This disenfranchises those below poverty level and keeps them from being able to vote. For instance in New Orleans when a hurricane Katrina hit many citizens lost all their documentation from the flood, and many of these citizens are African Americans. They were all relocated to different states including Texas. Because of this natural disaster they do not have photo Identification and don't have the money to acquire one. Their money was lost in the flood along with their photo ID and with those the right to vote in their own nation. These people do have integrity however they are simply victims of disasters they cannot control. The voter ID laws keeps them from having a voice in government.
                As for voter fraud in general, most people do not even care to vote in the first place. It takes tremendous problems for them to consider voting as a means for changing their situation. People are apathetic and feel powerless and as such don't care too much to vote or even get involved in politics. It would take too much work for a citizen to commit voter fraud  when  the effect is only one vote they have out of millions. It isn't worth the time and citizens know this.
                "Burden" as defined in this link: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/burden?s=t from dictionary.com states it is a encumbrance or impediment. By having to show a photo ID to vote it is in fact a "burden" as it would be much easier for citizens to not be required to show a photo ID. That is the definition of "burden," which is an impediment, this is common sense.
                 I agree that illegal aliens should not have the right to vote, however, it will create racial tension for Latin Americans by not allowing their undocumented families and friends the right to vote. There should be a way for undocumented workers to obtain citizenship in America.
