Illegal aliens can’t vote in federal elections - there is no question about it and the issue is black and white. There are some local jurisdictions that allow illegal aliens or any non citizen to vote in local elections and the Constitution is silent on it, so it is allowed. Those cities must keep two sets of registrations - one for federal and state elections and one for local elections.

This issue has nothing to do with non citizens voting in federal elections but whether non citizens should be included when determining how many reps each state gets in Congress.

But you and I both know that we are one court case away from having the law barring non-US citizens from voting in federal elections struck down. There is absolutely nothing that cannot be rewritten via judicial fiat. If recent history has taught us nothing, it has taught us this.

Yes, I absolutely agree with you on your point. I have never been one to be an alarmist, but we have seen this country lurch left in a way I thought would never happen and so quickly, too.

We are one court case away from allowing non citizens to vote. My sister-in-law is from Australia and has been in the US for decades (in Florida) and I'm glad that she has chosen not to become a US citizen since she is a raving liberal and there is no question as to how she would vote.

It's tiresome hearing that the next presidential election is the most important in our lifetime, but in 2020, I think that is true. Anyway, I will put nothing past the SC allowing.
