First of all, I hope I know the answer to this question, but one never knows, so I'm asking.
Today, in the "People's Republic of Maryland," this story broke: Non-citizens may be voting (http://www.wtop.com/46/3732751/Md-official-Noncitizens-may-be-voting). I believe it's a valid concern and something should be done to stop it.
What do you think?

Quote me if I am wrong we have the only country that Green card holders (Permanent residents) have pretty much the same rights as a US Citizens minus the fact that US citizens can run to be the president. I also know that Permanent residents get so complacent and do not bother becoming citizens. If you do not want to become a US Citizen you might as well leave our country.

They are people of another country, not permitted to vote in US elections.

NON-citizens don't have the right to vote. Citizenship gives one the right.

Voting is one of our most sacred privileges as a citizen. There is no reason we should let anyone who is not completely 100% invested in our nation and our ideals influence the path of our country. That sets a dangerous precedence for undue outside influences catastrophically altering our policy and stance on world interaction by any agency savvy and fiscally powerful enough to take advantage if this as a vulnerability (like say China).

Bill, please expound. Regardless of the validity of the news story, my above comment is my currently held belief.

Ummm, 'non-citizens' means not American, means not able to vote. Shouldn't it be that easy?

"Rights" are NOT universal. Voting itself - while a "right" - can also be interpreted as a privilege, as the right to vote can be revoked (i.e. felons). Non-citizens should have no say whatsoever as to what goes on in our country, especially if they're being promised amnesty, welfare, etc. They have no vested interest in our country, other than what Uncle Sam can do for them.
