A bill that would expand the right to vote in local elections to some immigrants who are not US citizens was introduced in the New York City Council

Washington, DC A bill that would expand voting rights to some immigrants who are not US citizens was introduced Thursday in the New York City Council.

City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, is sponsoring the legislation, which would give the right to vote in municipal elections to New York residents who are legal permanent residents or have a work authorization.Nearly one million New York City residents cannot vote in local elections because they are not citizens, according to Rodriguez's office, despite paying taxes and being invested in and contributing to the city.

Puerto Ricans can’t even vote for the President and our men are taken for US wars, but let’s give the right to vote to people who will not even be subjected to what Puerto Ricans have endured. Sure! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok, now this is going too far. It is one thing to let undocumented immigrants to work for us (they pay into our social programs but cannot legally take it out), but letting them vote is really pushing it.

This has always been the democrat plan. IllegalAliens cannot vote, they aren’t citizens. What don’t these power hungry jackals understand? BillOReilly dbongino TuckerCarlson truckinwithnorm RealCandaceO gehrig38 GerryCallahan

Your Vote as an American Citizen Will Be Canceled by a Vote of a Non Citizen...This is the Democrat Party

Socialism and it’s extreme leftist ideology!

They made the choice to pass on citizenship. So, they don't get the benefits of being a citizen. Or at least that's how any rational thinking individual would see it. NOTE: NOT referring to illegals (that's what they are), but LEGAL individuals here on visa, etc.

Liberals are out to destroy America as we know it! Imagine if U.S. citizens were allowed to vote in local elections in Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, etc. This is an abomination! As Americans we have a right to protect our borders and the sovereignty of our nation!

Why, what's the point of being a citizen then.

Unbelievable

Wait, I thought they didn’t want foreign involvement in elections...? 🧐

Why does CNN picture the mayor in this story? Biased much?

You have got to be kidding me. You can’t be serious. Talk about buying votes.

Yep. The Democrat plan is coming together. Been their goal all along. WAKE UP America!

So the burning down of this great city continues by the Progressives... 🙄

Of course it was.

This occurred on a regular basis back in the day. Little farming towns were more concerned about if you were part of the community vs having your paperwork. Different world now.

CNN loves to stir things up unfortunately, they know it's wrong but they are starving for attention, so this is what they put out. Instead of saying how ridiculous this is, they are the ones promoting this garbage

THEN YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION! ZZZZZEEEEERRRRROOOOOOOO VOTE TO ALL DEMOCRATS FOREVER!!!
