I might be wrong, if I am I would like to be pointed in the direction to educate myself to this respect. But to my knowledge there is no nation in the world with a democratic process of government that allows just anybody who arrives there to vote in any election. The United States historically have had ups and downs in the fairness of legislation to regulate the voting rights. Women, (American Citizens) had to fight for their right to vote; Black Americans had to do the same, in both cases, justice and common sense were triumphant.



Immigrants in the United States go through a vetting process of 5 years, after which they have the right to become citizens. Nobody forces them to become citizens, they do it on their own desire or interest. The privilege of voting and having a voice in the matters of the nation is a motivation to many. Becoming an American citizen provides those rights and privileges. If you have an interest, at any level in being heard in the matters of the nation, your only requirement is to pledge allegiance to the United States. If this is something you are not willing to do, it means your interests are somewhere else and you have no place trying to influence or modify other people environment.



I don't believe in coincidences, never did. The push to grant voting rights to legal immigrants (even at the local level) is nothing more than a "spear head". I recognize it is the very way every liberal push starts, I can see it even blindfolded. Grant it and destroy all that's left in the election process. Trust will be non-existent, fraud will be rampant, illegal immigrants will demand it later as a right too. In the end, they are also living here by the millions.
