Hey don't offend their feelings. They're simply undocumented potential citizens.

Carlos Petroni is an unabashed Marxist. Parents United For Education b.s. It's another Clinton-like tactic.

Bag the concept of citizenship altogether and allow Russians, Chinese and the rest of the people on the planet vote via absentee ballot.
Then later, when the animal rights advocates demand equal rights for mammals, we can extend suffrage to those creatures as well.
Alas, insects will just have to wait.

"It takes about 10 years for a legal immigrant to become a citizen, and that's due to the huge bureaucratic backlogs and red tape that they face with the federal government." It should not be easy or a fast process to become a naturalized citizen.
It needs to take a long time to become a citizen. The United States is a very different nation than any other.
A citizen of The United States has more freedom than nearly any other country an individual needs to be come acclimated to that freedom and the historical background of that freedom.
Our freedom has to be protected. Part of that protection is ensuring that those who come here hoping to share those freedoms understand the nature of freedom and are ready to accept the responsiblities of exercising and protecting freedom.

Still, "no taxation without representation." May I suggest that if aliens aren't allowed to vote in American elections, they should be immune from American taxation?

Doesn't mention why this has gained traction in SanFran. SanFran is near the top for cost of living, and cost of raising children in the big cities in the country. The number of childrenin SanFran unified is dropping, while the numbers of children across Cali enrolled is raising, mostly do to cost. This skewed reality means greater % of children in the school system are from immigrant households.
How are school taxes collected in CA? Through property taxes? Don't immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, have the lowest rate of home ownership in the country? Probably even lower in CA, and even lower still in SanFran. Truly 3 wolves and a sheep deciding whats for dinner.

Aren't school taxes raised through property tax levies? In this age of mass immigration in CA, isn't this literally immigrants flexing their new numerical and political muscle. The only immigrants who will vote against this (in a small bloc) are those who see past the BS that will be spouted and understand that their rent will increase when school budgets increase. Immigrants who own homes will fall within regular splits for or against any budget.

The nose is under the tent. Pretty soon they will demand to vote in fed elections. Then, if illegals here can vote for Pres., why not everyone else in the world...since what the US does has such a far reaching effect, it's only fair. The UN and the World Court will think that's a swell idea, and there goes the neighborhood.

They need to be reminded that immigration is a federal issue, and that they cannot as a local government, grant voting privileges to people who cannot vote legally or reside in this country.
Can these officials go to the countries of origin and vote in elections in lets say Mexico?
RECIPROCATION!!!!!

Aren't school taxes raised through property tax levies? In California, a large proportion of sales taxes also go to education, as well as from the state general fund. CA spends a lot of money on schools for little return.

>>Karthick Ramakrishnan, also with the institute, said that for those who concede the right of undocumented immigrant's children to be schooled here, it's not a difficult leap to extend Board of Education voting rights to their parents.<<
Mr.(?) Ramakrishnan conveniently omits that no one except leftist, progressive, liberal "immigration reform" activists has conceded "the right" of undocumented immigrant children to be schooled here. That "right" has been thrust upon the American people by a series of US Supreme Court decisions; decisions that were rendered by nine unelected, appointed-for-life, and virtually unremoveable federal judges.
It is time to rethink the lfetime tenure of federal judges.

It is time to rethink the lifetime tenure of federal judges.
