Non Citizens Voting

[Wireless1]

If they're paying taxes, then it's as the Founders intended.

So only people who pay taxes should vote?
Our founding fathers exclude slaves and women from voting and in some cases only property owners were allowed to vote

Good point. If the reporting is accurate, even some people running for or sitting as president or another elected office might not be allowed to vote.

If non citizens are paying federal taxes...How? Don't u need a SSN?

That’s a great requirement in order to vote. Of course I’m sure you’ll cherry pick which taxes are applicable and which aren’t.

I don’t have a problem with states/localities setting their own voting eligibility for their elections. As long as they don’t slip in national elections it’s up to them who gets to vote.

Ok..dont bitch when they come to ur town.

When I was a supervisor we had about 30. I saw their checks, they don't pay taxes.

I bet there's still a residency requirement.

There is...another nation which they are still citizen

They either commit felony and pay, or don't..

I never said a migrant worker is a resident of the county he is passing through for work. But you do you.

About as brilliant as your previous pointless comment.

What are you talking about? What is my "presumption?"

 

[Orangeburst]

What?

Your presumption of 800K migrant farm workers that live in NYC.

So you're okay with the tomato pickers local deciding the Grainger county election before they move on to Vidalia Georgia?

Dude... You're talking about a comment I made in response to @VolStrom talking about migrant workers in places in no way related to NYC.

Is that what you call people here illegally? “Migrant workers”

 

[Velo Vol]

This destroys our republic unless you want to exempt these localities from any federal funding whatsoever

How? What's wrong with a local control of its own elections, as long as it doesn't violate civil rights?

I already explained how there are migrant workers that are here legally, but I already know you're a smart guy, so you figure it out.

Do they pay federal taxes? Simple question...Yes or No.

What does it matter? Migrant workers should have no say either. If they don’t like it they can stay and work in their own country.

"Is there a federal or state law or constitutional provision saying local governments can't determine who votes in local elections?" is the real question.

Apparently, in spite all your smartness, you missed the point of my comment. A migrant worker probably would not meet residency requirements and not be able to vote. I'm surprised I had to explain that to such a smart guy.

Why does it matter? It's local government.

Is is alright for local officials that are not citizens to accept federal funding from citizen taxpayers?
