“Why would any of them go, when they can remain legal residents on a visa without ever having to apply for a greencard to become an actual citizen. What a scam.”
With this Z visa, do they have a right to vote? A right to entitlements?
This is a big concern of mine.
The vote is a powerful thing, and giving it to them is just not an option.

No, they will not have a right to vote unless they become an American citizen. They must first get the greencard, and then apply for citizenship at some amount of time afterward; not sure how long after they have the greencard they can get it.
They can’t vote legally. They can’t reside here legally either.
They already get government benefits. Californians tried to stop this (”Prop.187”), but the courts dictated otherwise.
