[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From link above: "The city council passed the measure on a vote of 4-3. It came after a summer filled with heated debate. The measure applies to green-card holders, [b]undocumented immigrants[/b] and those with student-visas."[/quote] If anyone can justify the ridiculousness of this, I will tip my hat to you.[/quote] They're residents of the town and likely pay taxes as well. They have an interest in governance. [/quote] Undocumented immigrants pay taxes? News to me. So they snuck into our country (breaking the law!) and are entitled to legally vote in an election? I don't consider "they are residents of the town" an appropriate justification.[/quote] They pay sales tax and property tax through rent. And since college park does not collect its own income tax, that means they are paying all local taxes involved in any local elections.[/quote]
