RWB News: I could not believe the Headline from the AP "Maine City Considers Giving NON-U.S Citizens Voting Rights"….I was not happy to say the least. I mean, this would be crazy, Right? There is actually a city here in the United States that is going to make a mockery of Citizenship by voting on a proposal to give Non U.S. citizens the right to vote in local elections, joining places like San Francisco and Chicago that have already loosened the rules or are considering it. , I mean this is Crazy!
Imagine my "pleasure" when I read the actual AP article and seen this was happening in more places than just a "Maine City" unlike what the headline would lead you to believe. They should of called the headline "Another City Gives 'OK' to ILLEGALS & Non Citizens to VOTE"? I mean Really?? Do Americans know this CRAZINESS is really going on? This can only happen here in this Country ….and only here. We can't make sure our American Soldiers get to vote but lets make it easier for Non Americans. Wow! Bizzarro World.
Sheriff Joe in Arizona recently did a raid at a plant with illegals and the next day Out of work Americans were standing in line.….Now we know what would help unemployment Right? Every Red Blooded American believes in immigration…we know what got us here but there has to be order and procedures. As you will see by some of the comments in the AP article this is another "Back Door Amnesty" ploy to get more quick votes for democrats.
There is one Non-US Citizen Abdirizak Daud, who hasn't been able to find a job since 2006. 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. "I like the Democrats. I want to vote for Democrats, but I don't have citizenship," he said………Really? I bet you do Abdirizak. We all know how dems would love to use Non-Citizens and Illegals to help campaign. We just seen the Democrats were using Illegals to go knock on doors for Candidates in Washington.
I do like what the Opponents of the measure are saying "immigrants already have an avenue to cast ballots — by becoming citizens". Allowing noncitizens to vote dilutes the meaning of citizenship, they say, adding that it could lead to fraud and unfairly sway elections…..No kidding! What do Dems call Illegal Immigrants? Unregistered Democrats.
Another Non-US Citizen in the article that says "We have immigrants who are playing key roles in different issues of this country, but they don't get the right to vote," said Rwaganje…..WTH??? We have a PROCEDURE. Yes it is flawed because it is ran by the Government but it still exist.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Like his neighbors, Claude Rwaganje pays taxes on his income and taxes on his cars. His children have gone to Portland's public schools. He's interested in the workings of Maine's largest city, which he has called home for 13 years.
There's one vital difference, though: Rwaganje isn't a U.S. citizen and isn't allowed to vote on those taxes or on school issues. That may soon change.
Portland residents will vote Nov. 2 on a proposal to give legal residents who are not U.S. citizens the right to vote in local elections, joining places like San Francisco and Chicago that have already loosened the rules or are considering it.
Noncitizens hold down jobs, pay taxes, own businesses, volunteer in the community and serve in the military, and it's only fair they be allowed to vote, Rwaganje said.
"We have immigrants who are playing key roles in different issues of this country, but they don't get the right to vote," said Rwaganje, 40, who moved to the U.S. because of political strife in his native Congo and runs a nonprofit that offers financial advice to immigrants.
Opponents of the measure say immigrants already have an avenue to cast ballots — by becoming citizens. Allowing noncitizens to vote dilutes the meaning of citizenship, they say, adding that it could lead to fraud and unfairly sway elections.
"My primary objection is I don't think it is right, I don't think it is just, I don't think it is fair," Portland resident Barbara Campbell Harvey said.
In San Francisco, a ballot question Nov. 2 will ask voters whether they want to allow noncitizens to vote in school board elections if they are the parents, legal guardians or caregivers of children in the school system.
Noncitizens are allowed to vote in school board elections in Chicago and in municipal elections in half a dozen towns in Maryland, said Ron Hayduk, a professor at the City University of New York and author of "Democracy for All: Restoring Immigrant Voting Rights in the United States."
New York City allowed noncitizens to vote in community school board elections until 2003, when the school board system was reorganized, and several municipalities in Massachusetts have approved allowing it but don't yet have the required approval from the Legislature, he said.
