First, they try to give the right to vote to children, criminals and the clinicly insane, and now they want invaders lining up at election time too.

Johnson echoed Avila's sentiments, saying that barring noncitizens from the political process and excluding them from serving on juries is a "recipe for civil unrest" because it could undermine their faith in the U.S. political process and justice system.

Translation: Give us what we want, or we'll riot.

Of course asking them to apply for amnesty is a non-starter. Give em what they want without making them jump through hoops!

The mindset of these advocates is astounding. How much further out of touch can the leftist ideology get?

[goldstategop]

Don't worry. The liberals have moved beyond the antiquated notion of the nation-state. We're all global citizens now.

You'll notice that there was no opposing view represented in this piece. I wonder how long it would take for one of the panelist to cry "racism" if another point of view was expressed.

UCLA law professor Joaquin Avila

And these are the people that teach.

Intellectual elitism bump.

[alaskanfan]

We're all global citizens now.

How long do we have before the U.N. selects our king.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So according to this guy, billions of other non Americans should have the right to vote absentee.

[goldstategop]

If you oppose foreign voting rights, you're a provincial nationalist. Need I say more?

[goldstategop]

Yep, that too I'm afraid. There's no need for America. We live on one Earth.

[ZULU]

Yeah. And maybe we should let the French and Germans vote in our elections. Also, I should be able to help vote Senior Fox out of office.

They smoke some heavy s##t in Kalifornia.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Quite a "debate".

[albee]

Another whacky idea from the University of California at Davis.

Your tax dollars at work.

Support your local college by hiring more radical professors.

It is "for the children"!

[Buckeye McFrog]

the Dems must REALLY feel shaky about their future in California if they feel compelled to extend the vote to illegal aliens and 14-year olds!

[heleny]

I have a solution: send the illegal aliens back home, and remind the legal resident aliens to apply for citizenship.

Here's Joaquin Avila's study that's refered to.

[glock rocks]

insane.

[goldstategop]

Twenty years ago no one would have even entertained this nonsense.

[mware]

We have all watched the mayor of various towns defy the law allowing gays to marriage. I would not be surprised to see mayors attempt to allow noncitizens to vote in their cities using the same rational they did with the marriage issue.

[goldstategop]

Ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Don't give them any ideas!
