If the state is prepared for you to fight on its behalf it ows you the decency of respecting your opinion. Of course you should have a vote.

- It has been proposed that Mexicans in the U.S. vote in Mexican elections in designated electoral districts in the United States. Under this proposal, California, for example, might have seats in the Mexican Congress, specifically representing Mexicans residing in that state. The governing PAN party of President Fox has opposed this idea, not out of respect for U.S. sovereignty, but out of fear that most Mexicans in the U.S. would vote against the PAN. Meanwhile, another of Mexico’s three major parties, the leftist PRD, urges the designation of the entire United States as the sixth Mexican electoral district. \n\nMexico’s revanchist campaign against the U.S. as though the Mexicans were carrying it out completely against our will. But as we are bitterly aware, this is not at all the case. Something has happened in America over the last 40 years that has not only opened us to the Mexican invasion, but has even invited it. From the refusal of many American cities to cooperate with the INS, to President Bush’s celebration of Mexican illegal aliens as the carriers of family values, to the Democratic Party’s insistence that all Mexican illegals in the U.S. be given instant amnesty and U.S. citizenship, it seems that America itself wants the Mexicans to invade and gain power in our country. Since we (or rather, some of us) have invited the Mexican invasion, does this mean we (or rather the rest of us) have no right oppose it?\n\nBecause the U.S. has been silent and passive, Castañeda, in the manner of all bullies and conquistadors, tells us to heed Mexico. The time is long since passed for us to reverse this drama, and make Mexico heed the United States. But for us to do this, we must recognize that the Mexicans are not coming here merely as individuals seeking economic opportunities, but as a nation, expressing their national identity and collective will.  Even more important, we must revive our own largely forgotten and forbidden sense that we ourselves are a nation, not just a bunch of consumers and bearers of individual rights, and have the right to defend our nation as a nation\n\n\nShort Answer??- Because Hes An IDIOT

They can vote, although they need to register, and demonstrate they have been in the jurisdiction for the right amount of time.  There are many practical difficulties, but in theory they are allowed to.\n\n(They would not have been able to when the country was founded -- only white male property owners were allowed to when the US was founded.  Something to think about when asking what would the founding fathers have done about a given issue.)

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.

The poll worker doesn't ask for nationality. The voter does have to be registered and registered in the precinct they are attempting to vote in. Any US citizen over 18 can register to vote as long as their rights have not been rescinded due to a felony conviction. I don't think that non US citizens can vote. I also don't think that there is such a thing as a undocumented resident being legal unless they are a citizen, and most of us have some form of documentation.

You don't say what nationality you are. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to vote if you are just here for a short time,and not a BRIT. Is your husband British?If you are British then I would go to the nearest town hall.

Yes, they can. However, as the President is elected by electoral votes (which are determined by a state's population), all of the people residing there actually only get one vote. How's that for fair?

No LEGALLT They Cant...But They DO VOTE\n\n-- Antonio Villaraigosa \nMayor- Los Angeles, California-"ELECTED" by the VOTES of ILLEGAL ALIENS - \n Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws - \n Villaraigosa Proclaimed, and I Quote \n"This bill in Congress is wrong. The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." \nYeah!!!

No, because the Constitution states that a candidate must be born in the United States.  Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state, it is a U.S. territory.

Are you a native born United States citizen, at least 35 yrs. old, and have you been a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years. If you are, then you meet the constitutional requirements to become president. If you don't meet these requirements, then no matter what your position on the issues are, you can't be president.\n\nAssuming you meet the above mentioned requirements, I like your platform. If you can get your name on the ballot, I believe that I would vote for you.

Yes. I didn't ask to be born American and I don't agree with everything the President does, but I'm not old enough to vote and I was born where I was born. It's not my fault.

I will vote according to who I like...whether he is in my party or not.  If I don't like either candidate, I do a write in.  I cannot in good conscience vote for someone that I do not trust to hold that office.  That is why I did a write-in the past two presidential elections.

Yes. I think citizens should have to pass a simple test to vote. As an example, for a national election you should have to be able to name at least one of your State's Senators and the current President. Ever watch Jay Leno's Jay Walk bit. It's really an eye opener.

They have certain rights, just like Americans do when traveling or working in a foreign country, but naturally, illegal immigrants can't vote, can they.  I happen to think they should try to learn the language like my grandparents did when they came to the US.  When I lived in Germany, the first thing I did was take German lessons.  When I lived n Mexico I learned Spanish-- it's only right, don't you think?

Absolutely!! Either party if they supported Amnesty aka allowing criminals to stay(illegals are breaking the law and as such are criminals)will not get my vote and I will be sure to share info about all representatives voting records for this area with all neighbors,family and friends,not getting any votes from here:)

As long as they allow "other". \n\nOr how about this:\nWould you vote for those who "Make" you vote?\nOR, didn't everyone vote on forced voting?\nWhat countries force voting? Should the US be more like them? \n\nIn the US, you have a right to try and get the law made forcing us all to vote.

Non citizens should not have the privilege of voting, as long as they remain non citizens. I will summarize it with one word, DEPORTATION! America is under attack on all fronts by ILLEGAL ALIENS! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nIF YOU'RE NOT ANGRY, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!!!!!!!\nIllegals should not have one iota, narry, nada, zip, zilch, goose egg, absolutely no representation, nor voting privileges. If illegals want to vote, let them GO HOME, to their native country to vote.
