Sure pal - why shouldn’t we let the Chinese vote remotely from their homeland too?


As nuts as that sounds, I have heard some Libs make the argument that, due to the disproportionate US influence in the world, everyone should be eligible to vote in national US elections.

A legal resident who is not a citizen can apply for citizenship. They have no cause to complain that only citizens can vote.

There are Leftist seditionists who DO believe that the rest of the world should get to vote in US elections because of how the US impacts the rest of the world.

“I’ve lived in New York since 2004, but haven’t once had a chance to cast a ballot here. “


Yeah, sure. I’ll bet he voted anyway and no one stopped him.

Translation: the left is going to lose if voter integrity is tightened so the only thing left is to champion non-citizens voting because then all 15 million will vote D.

They are only against Western colonialism. They support Islamic imperialism and Communist imperialism.

Its just the US I think is the only nation that promotes this BS, in other nations especially in Eastern Europe, Asia, even Africa, you would be seen as a laughing stock and not take seriously, the North American world is becoming a comedy.

Voting for the NBA all star team is more secure than voting in a national elections.

Nearly 15 million people living legally in the United States, most of whom contribute as much as any natural-born American to this country’s civic, cultural and economic life,

There's the problem, with "this country’s civic, cultural and economic life" right there.

The Biden administration is kicking out any new Cuban refugees. He’s sending them back to Cuba.

“I’d limit the vote to men and property owners. Worked for a long time before the 19th amendment...”

Personally, I think that if you don’t PAY taxes you can’t vote. No voting yourself other peoples money. You wanna vote? Get off the dole and get a job! Oh yeah, only if you’re a citizen of the USA.

Yes, there are several "Good reasons".

The Constitution demands that Citizenship is a prerequisite for voting for those who will lead the Citizens.

Allowing non-citizens to vote undermines the rule of law and the common interests of our SOVEREIGN COUNTRY.

The same Constitution that protects the NYT's Free Speech and Freedom of the Press, protects America from being influenced by a non-citizen electorate.

The more I think of it, wouldn’t it be nice if NY City, except for Staten Island, and San Francisco up the coast to Seattle left? We would get rid of the worst of the leftist loons (Pelosi, Schumer, AOC) and they would have to put in practice and live with the insane policies they shove down our throats.
