NYC Council Should Be Clearing the Path to Citizenship – Not Giving Non-Citizens the Right to Vote
Look here to see what is being thrown at NYC at the end of the year.
While Democrats and Republicans fight over who has the right to vote, the real problem is not being handled by NYC Council.
I’ve written about my support for immigrants for years. But the right to vote in an election doesn’t belong to someone who settled into an area for awhile or who pays taxes. It belongs to a citizen who has settled in the area for 30 days.
Why isn’t NYC Council moving to fix the immigration system, so people can become citizens and then get the right to vote?
Some people have an easy time becoming citizens and some do not. NYC Council shouldn’t give noncitizens the right to vote – that is a right of citizens. The should correct the problem where people can’t obtain citizenship.
