If they don't commit a felony ...
If they don't take advantage of the system (being on welfare for more than 8 months in 16 years.)
Then in 20 years - after the wait period - they can become citizens.
While the illegals are provisional they can NOT vote in American elections. Dems want compromise - here it is - they can't buy voters by giving away citizenship.
That’s not a bad starting point. I wouldn’t go the “Provisional Citizen” route, just make another class along the lines of a Legal Provisional Resident (replacing the term “Permanent”).
Then demand significant restrictions and checks on Motor Voter, mandatory involvement with that voter scrubbing database that just identied all those potentially fraudulent voters in NC AND cessation of opposition to requiring an ID to vote.
Probably some more stuff out there too that I haven’t thought of.
Here’s another compromise.
How about setting up an alternate special needs only polling site for the disadvantaged voter (i.e. illegals, homeless, felons, insane, dead people, etc). Provide them free transportation (air conditioned bus with snack bar) to and from the polling site. Do not require identification. Let them vote as many times as they want. Tell them the big blue ballot box is for democratic party ballots and the little red one is for the the other partys. Assist them if the need arises (no read or comprehende English). Give them a free gift voucher (expiration dated yesterday) each time they vote (i.e. for cigarettes, booze, marijuana, food, toaster, cruise, casino, etc).
After the election closes, lock the doors, turn in the blue ballot box, stash the red ballot box in the trunk of a old oldsmobile. Then get the hell out of Dodge and ditch the car in an Arkansas junk yard.
Nah, it’ll never work... right. :)
