The OP listed no qualifications. Aside from that, I'll just about guarantee there are some here on work visa's that overstayed, paying legitimately with the government ignoring it.
There are threads on here created by people who think votes from educated people should only count and votes from people living in the largest metros should only count. I'm going to be the one creating a thread on taxpayers who should only be allowed to vote. The reason? Those who pay taxes should be the only ones that determines where our tax money goes. They pay taxes so they should choose where their tax dollars go. People who hasn't paid a dime to the feds or owes money to the IRS shouldn't be allowed to vote. And by the way, I've paid taxes and don't owe money to the IRS.
Not very democratic--- so no students, retirees- etc?? You will pay taxes till you die in this country- just a fact of life--HUGE corporations do not pay taxes-- even trump said gets out of paying in some areas, what about that? We pay, and then vote in a bunch liars in to spend the money ---if only taxpayers voted, be the same outcome
If you've paid taxes and paid into a fixed income program in your entire life, I don't see a problem with people like that voting.
If you're worried about illegals voting in national elections, why not just pass a law that says "It is illegal for undocumented citizens to vote"?
Restricting everybody but a certain class from voting is the same as banning firearms for law abiding citizens to keep them out of the hands of criminals.
An exercise in futility.
If you check, it's already against the law for undocumented to vote. So new laws will do nothing. As with any law, enforcement is the key.

Should I get a vote for every tax dollar I pay?
The last thing we need is a society where the amount of money we make determines our rights. That is what the USA was formed to get away from.
So where are the strict constitutionalists today? Huh?
