[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are the requirements then? Residency? Or can each candidate bus in a boat load of supporter to get elected?[/quote]

The same as for citizens. You have to prove that you live there. The only difference is citizenship. Why would you think otherwise? Noncitizen residents work, pay taxes and have to deal with every kind of public policy, programs, schools, law enforcement, etc. [/quote]

Try not to be quite so stupid. Non citizens by and large do not pay taxes yet benefit from the programs that taxes fund like education, law enforcement, etc.  Now go back to gnawing on your government cheese, dummy.[/quote]
DP here. Sounds like you’re the dummy. Non-citizens absolutely do pay taxes. My family immigrated here legally and had to pay taxes for decades before becoming US citizens. [/quote]

My grandmother moved here from another country and got free medical care and money from the government for decades.   I can own that this happens.  You should try.  [/quote]

I confirm this. Many elderly people move here via family reunification and get free medical care, food stamps, and subsidized housing. Esp in CA and NY.

But then they are by definition joining a family that does pay taxes.

Not the same as paying into SS your whole life and then collecting from it.

I live in the suburbs and there seems to be a growing population of older Chinese immigrants nearby, as I’ve noticed hanging out near public housing and food distribution lines. Has it always been this way or is this an uptick? They don’t seem to have families taking care of them.[/quote]

There has been a HUGE uptick in Chinese nationals coming across.  
And, over 20,000 already for 2024.
