While it's not illegal under federal law, there are only a handful of communities in the entire country that allow non-citizens to participate in local government ballots. I could maybe see it for a school board where the non-citizen is paying taxes and has a child who's education they want to participate in. Not sure of the value for much beyond that...it's one of the privileges of citizenship.

SACRAMENTO (CBSLA) — The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday that more than a million undocumented immigrants have received driver’s licenses.

Trump could give the data to his deportation force and expel them with little effort...sure the US economy would implode but we'd be great again!

I agree Non-US Citizens living in the country legally should be allowed to vote, after they become citizens.

^^^ And there is a process to be come citizens too

Nobody missed it, you just like to throw on your Tin Foil hat and start flinging accusations like your Oprah Friggin Winfrey giving away toasters.

One of the great things about this country is the right to vote, so why don't those living here legally become naturalized citizens, then they can vote. Why take away the motivation to want to become a citizen of this country. You know, one of the Perks of being a citizen

God forbid we actually make people prove they are allowed to vote before they vote...those bastards. Why don't we just get rid of drivers licenses while we are at it, why should people have to prove they are allowed to drive before they get behind the wheel of a car.

Would you prefer we did away with the whole 'Voting Thingy" and just became a Monarchy then....or worse ... Seems republicans haven been making it harder to cast a vote all over the country



You mean when more people who work during the week would better be able to cast a vote.....all for that, I wonder how that would affect the results Who knows it might bump it 10% well never know until they do it not sure where the down side would be

weak argument this country never required ID to vote no state required a voter to produce a government-issued photo ID as a condition for voting before the 2006 election funny how that works ,,

to reduce electoral fraud(fake) Brick by brick to build barriers


No, No they don't, I sleep pretty well at night.
Every one sleeps well when it doesn't impact them directly
