The post highlights the word immigrants, which would describe a legal resident. Are you trying to say you feel illegal aliens should have the right to vote?

That is certainly the implication. 'Illegal Aliens' have no right to vote in this country.....they have no right to even be here. OTOH, 'Legal Immigrants' have every right to vote in this country. There is a HUGE difference between the two.

Agreed, a HUGE difference. I'm still waiting for User2 to clarify what he means.

Great point, Benicar.
Why do so many have such difficulty with the term ILLEGAL?
It's called the immigration forum, not the illegal immigration forum.
As a legal matter, there's no such thing as an illegal alien.

An immigrant, aka someone who has obtained citizenship legally, has every right to vote, and very well should. ANYONE in this country ILLEGALLY has absolutely NO RIGHT to vote. Even to suggest this is absolutely ridiculous. You might as well let citizens of Canada, France, England, South Africa and every other country in the world vote in our election if you're going to let citizens of Mexico vote. Am I the only one who thinks this is nutty-er than squirrel turds?
