What if the U.S government put the immigration issue directly in your hands for you to go to the poll and vote

Considering \nThere Are More Than 20 Million ILLEGAL ALIENS In The USA\n\nWhich 6 Million Are We Voting On ??\n\n\n\nWe Cannot Selectively Enforce Our Laws\n\n\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS\nAnd Their ILLEGAL ALIEN ANCHOR BABIES\nIMMEDIATELY Upon Discovery

Nothing.  It's a right, but it's not mandatory.\n\nBut you really should vote.

It should be left to the federal government.\nImmigration issues (legal or otherwise) are a federal matter and should be left as such.

You should try going to one of the polls.

you did....by voting for your president.

It's not possible to deny other ethnic groups the right to vote in this country. There would be race riots that would tear the U.S. apart.

That would be the mayor of the town you live in.\n\nDon't mind the ignorant answers you have gotten thus far. You have chosen to come to our country and become a legal American citizen the "right" way. That's a good thing!!! :)

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

It would be a taste of our own medicine.\n\nThe American citizens of course would start working the works illegals used to do, and not the legal residents because lots of them have College and Post graduate studies, they will keep doing better paying jobs, among with a minority of American citizens.\n\nTherefore, all school drop-outs, and citizens without much education will be doing the work of illegals, BUT FOR HOW LONG?  a week?  a month? \n\nThen, people will stop working or demanding better pay,  and employers will not be able to afford the new ALL-AMERICAN-WORKFORCE.\n\nAll the suddden: SURPRISE!! Higher income people can't find produce at the grocery store! Non-perishable food is getting scarce, factories are closing!\nWell, what do we do... lets go to the restaurant! OH No! the restaurat is closed, there is another one open across the street, but they have only one choice and a waiting time of 4 hours.... \n\nEmployers and Factories send the whole production plant overseas to cut on costs.... OH, Noo!\n\nOH! What do we do now?  \nIf Illegal Aliens are kicked out, the USA will be slowing down in production and stocks, sooner than we think the Country would STOP and it would be Americans going to Mexico or to other Countries.\n\nThen what? it will be Dear American Family, please fill this application for visa and wait 5 years before you can come into my country, thank you for your patience.

No way Dude! The immigration issue is a firestorm right now! You cannot communicate well, you will be back on your way in no time!

It would help if you told us which Government.

No. Payment of taxes, residency, and voting are completely separate issues. Voting, participating in the government of a country, is properly restricted to citizens of that country. In fact, by law, an American citizen who votes in another country's elections forfeits his American citizenship.

You would still have to pay american taxes.

I hope the immigration issue will lead people to think a little harder, and maybe even vote...emphasis on the thinking part...

I'm not sure what would happen but there's not much to doing it legally. My mum's a landed immigrant from the states and she sorted all that out pretty quickly and she is employed, gets health care benefits etc.

If voting really made a difference in this country, it would be illegal!
