[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]

Np. They are here illegally; they have no right to be here; they are generally not paying income taxes; and if they are under 18, they are children without skin in the game. [/quote]

So the ones who are paying income taxes should be allowed to vote? What about citizens that are not paying taxes? Should they not be allowed to vote? If you reside in a community, whether you are 16, 90, undocumented, or a citizen, you have “skin in the game” when it comes to decisions made by local elected officials.[/quote]
