Think what you like, that's your right. However, that doesn't make it right. Only citizens of the USA have the right to vote as it should be. Illegal aliens should be deported or jailed for the crimes they commit.

P.S. Illegals don't pay income taxes when paid in cash which is the norm. They also use false ID's committing fraud or identity theft.

Not if they are NOT a citizen, and NOT if they are paying taxes by stealing someone's SS#, or making one up.

People have a right to vote in the country in which they live ONLY if they are also a legal citizen. We have troops stationed throughout the world.....Should they have voting rights in those countries? What about the troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? I'm sure the citizens of those countries would relish their input as much as we tremendously appreciate the incessant meddling of the Mexican government.

Very good point!

We can point our fingers all we want and blame illegals for coming here, but we also have to blame everyone else that helps them stay.

Thankfully, the rule of law doesn't consult you and what you think when figuring out who gets to be here, and who gets to vote. Try going to live illegally in another "democracy" and assert these rights over there - you'll be ejected so fast you won't know what hit you.

Unfortunately, we in CA have noticed that we have to roll over and "take it" because LE sides with the illegals. It makes one think that the directive is coming from the top that illegals are untouchable and must be protected at all costs, including going against true citizens. Ouch.

Yes and that also goes for the people who openly support illegals being in this country, of which many are in this group.

Your government dont care if they illegally come to America, why should they care if they vote?
