Proposed changes to immigrant voting laws in America

[Goofball]

Quick note to Goofball - the scum in the title are not the immigrants, but the people who want them to be able to vote. FYI.

I still don't see how this qualifies them as "scum."

Legal noncitizens are people who are legally in the USA, but are not citizens - as opposed to illegal aliens, who are not legally in the USA, and are the same as illegal noncitizens.

AFAIK, the U.S. doesn't allow dual citizenship, no? So there are many people who live in NYC, love the city and intend to live there for an extended period of time, but don't want to give up their native citizenship. They are paying municipal taxes. What's the big problem with letting them have some say in how their $$ is spent?

Too bad for them - this is the country of America, where Americans vote, thank you very much.

But they are not asking to vote for your country's leader.

They are asking to vote for their city's leaders.

And as they contribute to the municipal economy and tax base, this seems to be a fairly reasonable request.

But maybe you know something I don't. How exactly would letting them have a say in how their tax dollars are spent negatively impact American citizens?

It seems to me your only argument against it is the old Homer Simpson classic "This is America. If you don't like it, go to Russia!"

While it certainly is fun to say, it has very little validity.
