City Wants to Allow Illegal Immigrants to Vote

[Papageorgio]

Please show us where in the Constitution where non-citizens are allowed the to vote in our elections.

States have no basis to care if someone is from out of State or from out of state, since 1808.

The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Control of the Congress.

Neither of your references that you quoted have anything to do with voting or illegal citizens having the right to vote.
There are plenty references of the rights of citizens to vote. Show me where non-citizens have the right to vote.

Quit playing your silly games when you are caught flat out lying.

Residency is the only requirement in any State. Only federal elections may not be voted on by non-lawful Persons.

Name one state that allows you to vote in an election if you are an illegal alien.

Just one? Besides Maryland?

Illinois.

La Cour suprême de l'Illinois confirme ce droit de vote des étrangers dans l'arrêt Spragins vs. Houghton en 1840. << (Wiki)​

("The new state of Illinois, which counted French and Canadians among its residents, made an exception to the general movement and gave the right to vote in its constitution of 1818 (article II, §27) to "all white male inhabitants over the age of 21 years, who have been a resident of the state for six months". The Supreme Court of Illinois confirmed foreigners' right to vote in Spragins vs. Houghton in 1840")

Again as already noted, here's yet another click-bait article that attaches an emotional caboose to the story and you're supposed to not see the rest of the train. Gotta look inside things before taking a knee-jerk emotional reaction. Don't you GET that these headline-mongers are trying to play you?

From your link: Since 1996, a federal law has prohibited non-citizens from voting in federal elections, punishing them by fines, imprisonment, inadmissibility, and deportation.[3][4][5] Exempt from punishment is any non-citizen who "reasonably believed at the time of voting (...) that he or she was a citizen of the United States," had a parent who is or was a citizen, and began permanently living in the United States before turning 16 years old.[3] The federal law does not prohibit non-citizens from voting in state or local elections, but no state has allowed non-citizens to vote in state elections since Arkansas became the last state to outlaw non-citizen voting in 1926.[6] 11 local governments, 10 of them in Maryland, allow non-citizens to vote in their local elections (Takoma Park, Barnesville, Martin's Additions, Somerset, Chevy Chase Sections 3 and 5, Glen Echo, Garrett Park, Hyattsville, and Mount Rainer). San Francisco allows noncitizens parents to vote in School Board elections (beginning in 2018).[7]

And again from YOUR link --- two days later it hasn't changed -- the proposal would not allow voting in federal elections, or for Governor, Senator or Congressman.


>> Supporters of the College Park measure say local elections center on trash collection, snow removal and other municipal services that affect people regardless of their citizenship status. The proposal, like those already approved in other small Maryland cities and towns, would not allow undocumented immigrants to vote for president, senator, congressman or governor. <<

Good Christ what is it going to TAKE for this to sink in?? We did this as soon as you posted this article without reading it.

You asked for "one state". I gave you forty.

No state currently allows illegal immigrant the right to vote. Cities do, but not states. The last are your link brought out was in 1926. So there you have it.

I don't nor have I thought that illegals can vote in any election. My point is that they should not be allowed to vote in any election. Sorry if you got the wrong impression.
