A Texas resident was sentenced to 8 years in prison for participating in elections - with only the status of a permanent resident of the United States (green card).

Rose Maria Ortega was found guilty of voting in the November 2012 general elections and in the 2014 years in May.

37-year-old woman was arrested in 2015 year. She said that when she voted, she did not understand the difference between a US citizen and the status of a legal resident.

In the US, a woman came from Mexico when she was a baby. She later received a green card for permanent residency in the country.

“If I had known, I would have done everything right,” Ortega said. “My whole life I was taught that I was a US citizen.”

State lawyers, in turn, showed the jury that she knew about her status when she received her driving license.

As a result, the woman was sentenced to 8 years and $ 5 to thousands of fines. After serving his term, she is deported.
