Boston weighs giving NON CITIZENS the right to vote

Non citizens have voted in American elections legally since the 1790s in various places.

Indianola and Galveston and San Antonio allowed German and Irish immigrants to vote before naturalization into the 1850s.

would that be local elections or national?
Maryland allows it in some towns but only for local issues.
 
local leaders are considering giving LEGAL non-citizens who have LEGAL residence a chance to have a say in their LOCAL politics


"The City Council is considering ways to make city elections more inclusive."
 
Non-U.S. citizens living in the country legally may one day be allowed to vote in Boston elections.

The City Council is holding a hearing Tuesday on the idea at the request of Council President Andrea Campbell. The council is considering ways to make city elections more inclusive, including allowing immigrants with legal status in the country the right to vote in municipal races.


That could include legal permanent residents, visa holders and those on Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.


Campbell’s order for a hearing says Boston has more than 190,000 foreign-born residents, which represents 28 percent of the city population. It also says non-U.S. citizens paid $116 million in state and local taxes and generated over $3.4 billion in spending according to a 2015 city report.

Guess they are tired of doing the hard work of finding the illegals to come and vote so now they want to legalize allowing NON CITIZENS to vote...not like commiechusetts can get any worse anyways.
"Non-U.S. citizens living in the country legally may one day be allowed to vote in Boston elections." How terrible. Legal aliens having a say in the goings on in the CITY they reside. How is that in any way bad? They pay the same taxes, have to deal with the same problems and they did it legally, so why shouldn't they be allowed to vote in city elections?
 
You know, imbeciles only like legislating from the bench or illegal voting when it supports THEIR agendas.

What part of.....
YOU MUST BE A US CITIZEN TO VOTE (per the 15th Amendment)

Can you jackasses not get through your dense skulls?

Blacks were 3/5 of a person back then too, no? Is that what you're advocating?

Non tax paying, non-citizens being allowed to vote for candidates who will give them money from the tax base couldn't possibly have deleterious consequences for Bostonian legal citizens.

Jeez people there is nothing to see here. Why don't we jus let Hosea and Maria along with her father Jesus, vote for President too?
 
This is why it's imperative that we get the Scotus packed with conservative judges immediately.
Because of all these Socialist and Communist who hate America and want to transform it
When we do, outlawing Socialist, Marxist and Communist support movements is next (for the sake of saving the Union)
