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?

I believe that only US citizens should vote WITH a valid photo ID. In the most recent election in Minnesota, there were 25,000 more votes cast than registered voters in the entire state. Mississippi being the poorest state in the country, studies show that less than 2000 do not have an ID.

That's pretty bad Brian when you consider that 50% or more of the eligible voters don't bother. If all eligible voters voted, we may not be in the position we are today!

If you need a picture ID to vote and it costs to get a picture ID then it costs to vote.
Poll tax?

No brainer, sir. No brainer... (But thanks for asking, since I live in the Socialist States of Illinois, where the Machine's motto is "Vote Early... Vote Often".)

If you're going to vote in our Nation's elections, you should be a citizen of our Nation. If I'm visiting Mexico, or working there, can I vote for their elections? Nope. How is it that Mexico has a stiffer regulation on this than we do?

HELL NO! Non-citizens - ESPECIALLY illegals - should not have a voice in this government. PERIOD. Their only interest is who can get them what the fastest. Illegals do not assimilate into American culture; they stake out little microcosms of their own 3d-world digs, and expect everyone to kow-tow to them and their heritage. I grew up in El Paso, Tx. I've seen the "vested interest" non-citizens have in this country. Even if they hold green cards or some other type of visa, they're still NOT CITIZENS. They're "resident aliens". Until they make that oh-so-big leap to U.S. Citizen, then they can sit on their thumbs and diddle themselves until the elections are over.

not only should they not vote but being undocumented and showing up to vote should be an open invitation for deportation. Why are they undocumented, there are millions trying to get here legally, why should we give the illegals anything but a one-way bus ticket to whatever country they came from.

Actually, in some states you don't, but you are supposed to have such ID to REGISTER to vote. In one state that shall remain nameless, the state issues an ID to all comers. That ID is "gov issued" and has been used to vote...

People always say the right to vote shouldn't require an ID. Well that right only applies to CITIZENS. Key word right there. So prove you're a citizen and no problem. It's not racist/ethnicist/any other -ist. It protects the value of the rights of the CITIZEN.

If as this article points out, these people are opting out of jury duty (cherry picking rights and obligations) because they are non citizens and then attempting to vote, they should be prosecuted for voter fraud or what ever they can be dragged into court on, and then......deported. I feel like I am living in the superman comics bizzaro world any more!
