What do you think of noncitizens voting in American elections?

I was a 2010 US Census enumerator. I interviewed and counted everybody in my area of responsibility. The Department of Commerce and the US Census organizations got this right and have been doing the right thing since the first US Census in 1790.

As it was then, still hold true today...

As compared to the issue of voting...if the person is an American citizen or peoples of America, as cited by the Alexander Hamilton papers of 1787, New York, working or not, his or her voice was bought with a price.

In Alexander's time, only land owners could vote.

America has come along way since then.

America needs to move forward and not backwards.

Does it really matter the results are the same... the issues are tainted in every election. Votes are always emotional thus should be left for the individual's conscience.

No.

You have to be a citizen to vote.

From a Homeland Security perspective, non-citizens who migrate, legally or illegally could influence political agendas supporting immigration issues, i.e., for instance non-citizens voting. Foreign countries seeking to influence our government could so subversively through non-citizen voting.

In Chicago, the old saying was "Vote Early, Vote Often"

I believe that legal immigrants should have the right to vote, especially those who are pursuing citizenship. Why make it that a group of people are having their lives decided for them, when they did everything right to enter the country?

If you're not a citizen then I don't see why you feel you have the right to vote and each state has passed laws against non-citizens voting. However I feel Voter ID laws that have been implemented over the last few years are not targeting illegal voters, but are targeting minority and young voters. Voter suppression is a bigger issue and regardless of circumstance, if you are a citizen of this country you should be allowed to vote. Voting laws should be permissive for all citizens not restricted to some. I understand the need to protect the "right to vote" against non-citizens, but not at the cost of suppressing ALL or “certain” citizen’s right to vote.

If they are not citizens, that is fraud and they should go to prison and be deported.

Voting is a lot like working in this country. Only certain people with certain values/morals/ethics seem to participate in both. Even the lazy freeloaders are not rushing to the poles to secure their next meal ticket. Illegals seem to be a major concern in every state, and as obama continues to venture towards permanent amnesty for illegals and the SCOTUS keeps knocking down state laws that demand ID to vote, there is no telling how many illegals will vote or how much they will impact the states they are residing/hiding in.
