States weigh letting non citizens voteI saw this article and was troubled that this is even being considered. If you read the article you get the impression that the "poor immigrant" highlighted in the article sees himself as a victim because he can't vote in our elections.
This portion of the article really jumped out at me. I have highlighted the areas of concern to me
On a recent day in a small lunchroom at the Al-Amin Halal Market, a group of Somali men ate lunch and talked in their native language. A sign advertised the day's offerings, including hilib ari (goat), bariis (rice) and baasto (spaghetti).
Abdirizak Daud, 40, moved to Minneapolis 18 years ago before coming to Portland in 2006. He hasn't been able to find a job. Some of his nine children have attended Portland schools, and he'd like to have a say in who's looking over the school system and the city, he said.
But between his limited English and the financial demands, Daud hasn't been able to become a citizen.
"I like the Democrats. I want to vote for Democrats, but I don't have citizenship," he said.
This assclown barely speaks English, doesn’t work (i.e. doesn’t contribute to society), yet has bred at a prodigious rate and is sending his 9 kids to public school on our dime and feels he has the right to have a say the education system. Big surprise he favors the democrats…
I see this mentality as one of the biggest threats to this Nation. Right now, the Constitution prohibits non-citizens from voting in Federal elections, but how soon will it be before the democrats begin to mis-interpret the Constitution and open up Federal elections to any swinging dick who happens to be in the Country, legally or illegally?
