Bormio Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 .... in Boston city elections, if the Boston city council president has her way. Legal aliens, mind you, but she actually wanted to include illegal immigrants in the proposal. Trust me, this is becoming a “thing”. Several cities have already adopted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that when a man lives long enough he lives to see just about everything. What scares me is I (hope) still have a lot of years left in me. This is insane, if true.

Should tourists be allowed to vote too, if they happen to be here on the day of an election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted July 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 This would only apply to local elections, not federal. And it would require Massachusetts to change state law - which currently prohibits this. But it is a start - the rationale given is that these aliens pay state and local taxes. But they also pay federal ones too. A move to make people in effect citizens, without actually becoming citizens. Brought to you by the open borders party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just another of their many scare tactics. The proposal being voted on is to allow legal residents voting rights for local city elections.

But the post said, "...she actually wanted to include illegal immigrants in the proposal. Trust me, this is becoming a “thing”. Several cities have already adopted it." I took the "thing" as being cities are already allowing illegal immigrants vote. I find it hard to believe illegals are allowed to vote, and do not think it's a good idea.

No, illegals are not supposed to vote under any of these new laws. But most Americans have a very serious problem with non-citizens voting, even legal ones.

No they are not allowed to vote. And if they are undocumented folk, they most deff will not risk being caught by going to a voting booth. They do not like to expose themselves. Especially like that.
