House votes in favor of illegal immigrant voting...

House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice.

The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting.

“We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in,” Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure.

The 228-197 vote came as part of a broader debate on Democrats’ major legislative priority this year, HR 1, the “For the People Act,” which includes historic expansions of voter registration and access, as well as a major rewrite of campaign finance laws.

The measure would have had no practical effect even if it had passed. Illegal immigrants — and indeed noncitizens as a whole — are not legally able to participate in federal elections.

But Republicans had hoped to send a message to localities such as San Francisco, where noncitizens are now allowed to vote in school board elections.

“It sounds like I’m making it up. What kind of government would cancel the vote of its own citizens, and replace it with noncitizens?” said Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican.

He pointed to last year’s vote, when 49 Democrats joined the GOP to decry noncitizen voting.

On Friday just six Democrats voted in favor.

A 1996 federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but there is no prohibition on localities, and indeed a number of jurisdictions allow it, to some extent.

Famously liberal Takoma Park, a small jurisdiction in Maryland, has for several decades allowed noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in local elections.

Experts say as many as 40 states or territories allowed noncitizen voting dating back to the nation’s founding.

San Francisco in July began allowing noncitizens to vote in school board elections — though they must be parents or legal guardians of students.

A vote for a Democrat is a vote against America.

They don't even try to hide it anymore. Baby steps. Next up, state wide elections then federal elections. They need the votes. Hence the opposition to border security.

It is beyond comprehension how someone could vote for a Democrat.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Coming on the heels on them wanting open borders, it's pretty clear they feel they need those votes.

I said it in that thread about Colorados former governor running for president. He seems like a pretty normal guy and has some stuff I can get behind.

That being I cannot vote for a Democrat at all. Because this is the they push. They are so extreme their moderates are far left.

This is disgusting. Just another step to the eventual civil war.

I’ll give the retarded leftists here 2-6 weeks before they start openly advocating this depending on Morning Joes position. 

[Patented Phil 1,469]

All part of the plan… Let in 10M illegals.  Then give them the right to vote in local elections, the whole while saying that non-citizens can’t vote in Federal elections.  That is - until 10 years later when they create a big “Dreamer” push to get mass amnesty.

Give a Leftist an inch and it’ll turn into a mile.  You can’t reason with these people, and you can’t concede even the simplest of things.  Thats why there will never be common sense gun reform.  Cant trust these fockers as far as you can thrown them.

Fun Fact:

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal.

First deny  <------- WE ARE HERE ?

then when caught.....minimize by saying "its just that one store" or "its isolated"

as it spreads declare it to be a "right wing conspiracy theory"

as it surges....blame Republicans....rinse.....repeat....

Finally throw out the "what does it matter now" to pretend we should just drop it.

Some do but only in municipal/local elections, which makes sense in that it would directly impact them. I don't know which states offhand.
