[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] In other words, reflexive xenophobia compels you to oppose this proposal.[/quote] Good grief, give it a rest. There is absolutely nothing xenophobic about a citizenship requirement. This is the kind of woke name-calling that is driving moderates to vote R. By what right would I have as an American to just show up in Paris, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, etc. and demand that I be permitted a say in how they govern even though I'm not a citizen. [/quote] News flash: this country only has a citizenship requirement for federal elections. Read the friggin Constitution. [/quote]
