Denton [Greater Dallas/Fort Worth] Allows Noncitizens to Serve on City Boards
Texas Scorecard ^ | February 7, 2022 | Erin Anderson

Posted on 02/13/2022 7:43:43 PM PST by JeepersFreepers

People who serve on city boards in Denton [greater Dallas/Fort Worth] are no longer required to be U.S. citizens—or even lawful residents.

Denton City Council voted late last month to remove a requirement for residents serving on city boards and commissions to be registered voters, allowing noncitizens to participate.

The city said the purpose was to include the highest number of diverse members.

Noncitizens—regardless of immigration status—can now serve on all city boards, commissions, and committees except for the Public Utility Board (requirements for that board are set in the city charter, so a change must be approved by voters).

Proponents argued that just because residents aren’t citizens doesn’t mean they can’t contribute to the city.

Dallas removed its eligible-voter requirement for other city boards and commissions in 2020.

New York City just went a step further, allowing noncitizens to vote in municipal elections. More than 800,000 lawfully present noncitizens and undocumented “dreamers” will be able to influence city government.

Fifteen municipalities across the country now allow noncitizens to vote in local city or school board elections.

Giving illegal immigrants rights to influence elections and voting power on governing boards is appalling! The left continues to push their agenda through while most are not paying attention. Giving illegals power over citizens is outrageous and dangerous!

The Berkeley of North Texas, home to UNT (where my son goes, but don’t blame him).

I hear you, my daughter graduated from UNT about 10 years ago, but she’s reliably conservative.

This is what happens when uncontrolled immigration is allowed from hostile (blue) states into Texas.

*If you fled your failed state for economic opportunities in Texas, do not vote your failed state ways.

It’s sickening that illegals can live carte blanche in this country, but Americans get punished for living the same way in other countries.

This is BS and has nothing to do with “diversity” but more white leftists trying to stop American blacks from gaining power.

It’s way past time for the actual citizens in Denton to start voting right. In the meantime, maybe they should show up at city hall with torches and pitchforks.

Then Texas needs a state law banning local municipalities from doing this. SIMPLE

That guarantees that these same vermin will be voting in the 2022 & 2024 elections...

Who’s to stop them?

Certainly not the GOP politicians!

“Divershitty” is the greatest threat to America’s liberty and freedom. Too many retarded morons are soon running the chicken coop and everything goes to hell.
