“...Nearly 15 million people living legally in the United States...”
It’s more like 70 million now.
Why limit the vote to just citizens? Why don’t we allow it for all who live here? In fact, why don’t we allow everyone on the planet to vote in USA elections.
This is what they really want to say.
Good idea. However, I would restrict the vote for illegals to those originating from countries that allow US citizens to vote in their elections - a "reciprocal" right. It's only fair, or should I say, it's a matter of equity.
