Actually, you can: we strip felons of voting rights routinely. Offer citizenship on the condition that they acknowledge their felony immigration violation, and sentencing is set to time previously served. But as admitted felons, they lose the right to vote. . . .

That depends on the state and virtually every state has a means for former felons to regain the right to vote. I know because I am one.

Felons are nothing but “citizens”, stripped of voting rights, after due process of law. A mexican, somali, or chinese smuggled in, could get a similar deal. “Citizen” with no voting rights after due process of law.
AND, if they want to vote, nobody is stopping them from returnng home, immigrating properly, and getting full citizenship.

Some states let them vote while in prison don’t they?
