[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Republicans are right on this one. Citizenship should mean something. You want to vote and participate in government, become a citizen. There is a well-established process for that. The votes of citizens should never be outweighed by those of non-citizens. This shouldn't even be controversial.[/quote It does. It means you are eligible to vote in federal elections, and for a variety of other federal benefits. I think local and state governments should be able to decide whether non-citizens (who may be LPRs or work for international companies) can vote in local elections. You can't be a citizen of a city or state, only a resident, and a non-citizen resident should maybe have some say in the running of the place they live (often for years).[/quote]
