[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Horrible idea, for more reasons that I can spell out here. [/quote]

Starting with that you hate young people?[/quote]

Not wanting to let 16 year old undocumented immigrants vote does not equal ‘hating young people’.[/quote]

They live in the community and are affected as much - if not more - by local public policy decisions. Many work and pay taxes. If you have an argument that can be separated from prejudice, lay it on us.[/quote]

Why would you say the opposition is based in ‘prejudice’?

It makes no difference to me where a person is from, if they are not in the country legally, they should not be allowed to vote in our elections.

People who are citizens of another country can vote in elections in their own country.  Not in the US.  Just like I would not expect to vote in an election in Greece or Spain or Saudi Arabia.  [/quote]

Prejudice against non-citizens is still prejudice, even without an ethnic dimension.

No one is proposing allowing non-citizens the right to vote in state or federal elections.[/quote]

Don’t worry, that will come next!  It is the most logical next step.  [/quote]
