DC considers bill to let illegals vote in local elections
2015-01-23
In keeping with similar initiatives in 2013 and 2004, the bill would give suffrage to non-citizen D.C. residents who "œhave permanent residency status."
No.
Grosso cited U.S. Census Bureau figures from 2012 approximating that over 90 percent of the 53,975 foreign-born, non-naturalized U.S. citizens in the District are 18 years of age or older, to weight down with seriousness his pronouncement that "these are taxpayers who should have the opportunity to have their voices heard in local elections."
Nose of camel.

#17  OWG NAU = North American Union is supposed to start next month February 2015, wid Trans-Pac + Trans-Atlantic Partnerships later in the summer.

Unfortunately our Anti-Unitarian Unitarian Socialist GOP-DEM Establishment in Washington shows no inkling to change anything short of meaningless, PCorrect-Deniable Media-Public rhetoric.

The above means that the US Govt under NAU will likely proceed wid inviting Milyuhns-n-Tilyuhns of foreign workers into CONUS-NORAM, + whom will be able to vote + collect Any-n-All forms of Federal-State public assistance, ... ...@etc.

AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, IN THE 21ST CENTURY = ERA OF OWG GLOBALISM, THE "AMERICAN/AMERIKAN DREAM" IS NOW THE "NORTH AMERICAN/AMERIKAN DREAM" WID MEXICO, CANADA, + POSSIBLY GREENLAND [Iceland? new = UK?] NOW SHARING RESPONSIBILITY FOR US + NORAM SECURITY-N-PROSPERITY, ETC. OR IN THE ALTERN THE LACK OF SAME.

Lest we fergit, OBAMA'S "BIRTH CERTICATE CONTROVERSY" = all thing equal, twas ultimately about America in future being led by a NON/ANTI-AMERICAN PERSONAGE.

[Weirdly-n-Mysteriously, but of course only PCorrectly Coincidentally, NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAINS = OWG MADONNA = FUTURE US-BORN, RAISED AMERICAN/AMERIKAN QUEEN OF THE BRIT EMPIRE here].

Whose the Walking Clusterfuck that sezs there is no God???

#16  The people proposing this should be tried as traitors and when found guilty, burnt at the stake in the public square.

#15  An urban political insurgency is the ultimate goal. US Field Manual 3-24: “An insurgency is the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify, or challenge political control of a region.”

#14  #8 They just keep cheapening citizenship.

One wonders why?


Nah, I don't wonder why. The Democrats keep pushing the boundaries of voting. First, Slick Willie came up with the motor-voter law which allowed people with a driver's license to vote. The Donks have been screaming about the voter identification/verification laws the Pubs are putting in place state-by-state. Now, the Donks have pulled all the stops out and they want illegals to vote in our elections. It would guarantee a large block of new voters who would vote Democrat for decades to come. It would also be a quick path to national suicide.

#13  I don't have a problem with "statehood." The State of Maryland takes a piece. The State of Virginia takes a piece. There, the ultimate re-Districting. Problem solved.

#12  Another excellent reason DC should never attain statehood.

#11  Yes, get a Soros-Steyer type to fund a front to legalize the PRI in some places like Alta (not Baja) California just to watch the Donks panic as it spreads.

#10  Quick!!!

Pass the hat!!!

Let's find a REPUBLICAN Hispanic US citizen and run him for Major in DC...have him make all of his speeches in Spanish, all of his political adds in Spanish and if he can get the illegal vote, wouldn't the city council meetings be fun?

#9  When you don't have the electorate you want, replace it.

Quintus Arrius: Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live.

#6  Taxi driver special interest group? Nannies and gardeners to the apparatchik wealthy interest group? And DC want's the equivalent of statehood representation. Do like they did to the original portion in Virginia, return all the non-federal land to the state. Let Maryland have the fun*. The original intent was to protect the nascent federal government form undue influence of the larger state governments. That's hardly an issue these days.

* it's not like there'll be any discernible change in the overall level of corruption and incompetence on either party's side.

#4  non-citizen D.C. residents who œhave permanent residency status.


So diplomatic contingents, their staff and any other group under this umbrella, who have "permanent residency status" can apply ?

Or do the Idiots who run DC want to see "Home Rule" go up in smoke ?

#3  Actually, the greater threat is that ANYONE in D.C. is allowed to vote.
