[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we get these new citizens the right to vote as soon as possible, so we can get their input about the services that affect them.[/quote]

That’s incredibly disrespectful to give illegal lawbreakers the right to vote. Do felons get the right to vote?. How about we all forgo paying taxes for a year? Can we become lawbreakers too and get a slap on the wrist and financial compensation for it?

There’s a legal process to migration that responsible citizens of the world follow. They do not hop over borders and expect their new country to take care of them [/quote]

Yes, felons have a right to vote. These people are residents of NYC. Don't they have a say in local politics? The policies of the elected will directly effect them. America is still a democracy, right? [/quote]

IMO - Voting is the right of CITIZENS.  It is one of the perks of being a citizen.  NY tried to pass a law giving illegal immigrants the right to vote if they had been in NY for 30 days.  It was overturned by the NY Supreme Court.  
I don't believe they should have a "say" in the policies that affect them.  They shouldn't be here to begin with.  Giving them the right to vote is how we end up with stupid ideas like debit cards loaded with up to $10,000 for migrants who have broken our laws.  
And, not all felons have a right to vote.  [/quote]

Imagine living in the greatest democracy in the world, and not having the right to vote. After the greatest democracy in the world has destroyed your former country for within over the last hundred years.[/quote]

DP.  Do you think I'd be allowed to vote if I move to say, France?  How about Sweden?  Germany?  Are you truly this stupid?[/quote]

Do you think you would get $10,000 for showing up in France, Germany etc? [/quote]

Unreal.  No other country in the world would do this.[/quote]
