Does that mean they get to vote?
Not legally...To legally vote, you must be a US citizen...
I don’t really know when we had our last LEGAL election, though......
Only if they promise to vote for The Donald!
After 5 years as a permanent resident... you can become a U.S. Citizen.
So... how do you feel about 10 Million new democrats around 2024?
If they return to the US legally, and go thru the process to become citizens, yes, they can vote. There are quotas in place, so it would not be a flood as it’s been for the past several decades. They have to have lived here for X years, to have been vaccinated so as not to bring unknown diseases back into the country, they have to take a citizenship test to exhibit an understanding of our country.
Becoming a citizen legally is not an easy thing, nor should it be. I wish some of our native born folks had to take a basic citizenship test like legal immigrants do. And I wish we’d do away with dual citizenship. Immigrants thru the middle of the last century had to renounce their native country citizenship; they should have to do that now.
