House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice.
The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber then under GOP control voted to decry illegal immigrant voting.
We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in, Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure.
The 228-197 vote came as part of a broader debate on Democrats major legislative priority this year, HR 1, the For the People Act, which includes historic expansions of voter registration and access, as well as a major rewrite of campaign finance laws.
The measure would have had no practical effect even if it had passed. Illegal immigrants and indeed noncitizens as a whole are not legally able to participate in federal elections.

Even the folks at BB and The Onion could not conceive of this!.......................
we are way down the slippery slope
We let their kids in school and now SF says the illegals should vote in school board elections because we’re educating their children,.
Well the next step is city elections because their lives are affected by city government, and then county and state and so forth.
One you let them in and let them to stay, liberals oan justify anything.
Well it’s finally out of the bag. The illegal alien voting- cat. Coward Piven strategy. The rat party admits they want more and more illegals to invade American in order to remain in power.
It will be the “end of the republic” only if the rest of us refuse to take up arms. If we were committed to the cause, every leftist in this country would be dead within 2 years of fighting.
Can a Democrat truly be an American?
and the Dems continue to expose their ultra-extremist agenda ...
btw, what’s so special about foreign nationals who’ve managed to illegally enter our country? why not just let everyone
on earth vote in our elections?
Never have....................
THAT IS THEIR GOAL!......................
Well, it explains those Youtube videos of Kamala Harris grilling government officials on the treatment of illegals.
She sees them as her constituency.
AOC = Against Our Constitution
The video gets to some real stuff that, frankly, should make sane democrats shake in their boots.
End of the United States is closer than I thought..
There will eventually come “a shot” fired by us - soon.
If any Republican voted for this NAME EM .
RESTORE THE VALUE OF BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. IF THEY COME FROM A COUNTRY THAT WILL NOT LET AMERICANS WHO ENTER THAT COUNTRY THEY COME FROM LEGALLY AND DON’T LET US VOTE WHY SHOULD WE LET SOMEONE WHO SNEAKS IN AND IS HERE ILLEGALLY BE ALLOWED TO VOTE....
Lead the way. No one’s going to get this ball rolling without someone directing it. Why are you waiting for others to make the move first? No excuses, now, come on. You have social media, FR, and the entire internet to make this happen.
“Seems like a lot of FReepers have forgotten their basic civics lessons. Everybody getting worked up over nutty leftist bullsh*t coming out of the House - none of which will ever go anywhere as long as we hold the Senate.”

Dear FRIend, they will store this away for when they control government again. When they have control this bill rears it’s ugly head and passes at midnight on Christmas eve. Can you say 0bammy crap care?
It’s bad enough that those with dual citizenship don’t have to choose which country they can vote in. This is just over-the-top progressives being manipulated by globalists who want to end the advantages we (used to?) have as US citizens.
Wrong headline. This needs to be headlined:
Democrats vote to allow Russian Interference
