Breitbart<\/a> reported yesterday that Democrats on the New York City Council are working to allow nearly a million non-citizen to vote in local city elections.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The plan, backed by 34 Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council, would allow non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work authorization to vote in city elections so long as they have resided in New York City for at least 30 consecutive days<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plan indicates that legal immigrants on green cards or an employment visa who have lived in New York City for at least a month would be able to vote for mayor, comptroller, public advocate borough presidents, council members, and changes to city policy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ydanis Rodriguez, a Democrat councilmember who represents the Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhattan, told<\/a> NY1 that \u201cwe need to recognize the contributions of our immigrant brothers and sisters\u201d by giving non-citizens city-wide voting rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not about doing a favor to immigrants by allowing them to vote,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cIf they pay their taxes, as I did when I had my green card, then they should have a right to elect their local leaders.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Councilman Joe Borelli, a Republican who represents Staten Island, said he believes \u201ccitizenship\u00a0should matter and having someone reside here for 30 days and check some boxes shouldn\u2019t entitle them to vote for the people who will tax us for the next generation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats on the New York City Council attempted<\/a> to pass the plan last year, seeking to give huge electoral power to the city\u2019s\u00a03.1 million foreign-born population \u2014 making up almost 40 percent of the total city population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of the city\u2019s foreign-born population has arrived from the Dominican Republic, China, Mexico, Jamaica, Guyana, Ecuador, and Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Bangladesh, and India.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is anyone actually surprised by this? When amnesty for the dreamers was being debated, the idea was floated to allow the dreamers to stay, but not give them voting rights. At that time it was mentioned that it would only be a matter of time before the Democrats (who assume all illegal aliens would be Democrat voters) would say that since they were working and paying taxes, the dreamers should be allowed to vote. What we are seeing in New York City is a preview of things to come.<\/p>\n

It should probably be noted that all of the immigrants who built this country were not allowed to vote until they became citizens. They also were required to support themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
