Letting Illegals Vote in NYC

@ 10:42 AM (21 months, 23 days ago)

You've got to read this to believe it. Some NYC activists are fighting for fence jumper suffrage.  They want illegals to have the right to vote.  Just to put a little perspective on this - we don't allow felons to vote irrespective of citizenship.  An American felon abdicates his right to choose representation.  And with good reason.  Our collective wisdom and experience has led us to believe that felons put personal welfare above the good of society so part of the punitive and protective consequences of their conviction include the loss of voting rights.

I'm not delusional enough to think that people vote for completely unselfish reasons but when there is clear evidence to the contrary, such as a conviction or a willful violation of legal entrance to the country, the right to vote is certainly forfeit.
