"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.

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.

[television is just wrong]

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!!!!!

>>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.

We have enough trouble trying to accurately count the LEGAL votes. Now they want to add a few partial voters? Who is going to keep this straight?

[Flint]

Shoot let's let Iraq, Iran and Syria vote also. Damn, bring them all on.

[sweetliberty]

Does this surprise you? They care nothing for this country and they don't believe in sovereignity. And democRATs will do anything for votes that will support their vision of absolute power over the people.

The cheapening of American citizenship continues. The majority of American citizens are against granting citizenship privileges to illegal aliens, yet our voices cannot be heard over the agenda of our politicians.

[robertpaulsen]

Keep in mind, school policies and public tax dollars may be decided and spent by people who are not U. S. citizens.

This is insanity.

[dennisw]

Does this mean illegal aliens vote too? FWIW the uber liberal bastion of Cambridge Massachusetts tried this crap years ago and it was denied. Americans are turned off by non citizens voting even in school board elections. Slippery slope and all that...
