...Now they can vote? I'm renouncing my citizenship RIGHT NOW!
I can have free school, free welfare, free social security, preference in university/college selections, don't have to have auto insurance, the right to vote and never have to pay income taxes again!!!! Plus I can sue all you bigots who complain under hate laws!
What a wonderful country!

This is another attempt to devalue citizenship. Necessary for open borders.
What percentage of Americans regularly vote anyway? In local elections the turnout is even lower than in presidential elections. Do you think "illegals" would turn out in greater numbers than Americans to vote?
What is the criteria to establish the right to vote, anyway?
Is it your age? Place of residence? Country of birth? Payment of taxes? Evidence of intellectual attainment? Apparently, by legislation, the definition of "citizen" can be darned near anything you want it to be.
The history of enfranchisement in this country has pretty much been REMOVING restrictions on the right to vote, and extending it to those who have never had it before. At one time, you know, only white males that had attained the age of 21, and owned property, were given the vote. Then the property requirement was taken away. Then the racial requirement was dropped. Then the literacy requirement was removed. Then the requirement that payment of taxes must be current was legislated out of existence. Even gender was made not relevant, likewise the requirement of attaining 21 years of age.
The US code does not even define the citizenship of any individual. Citizenship is determined and recognized by the state in which you live. If you are a citizen of any of the individual States, you are a United States citizen.
You would also be able to own firearms when they are are all banned from being owned by non-politicians.

Also, you can commit a crime and just head for the border to escape justice.
