Top Agreement
Foreigners are also human beings with rights, and even though they reside in a country that is not their own, they too should have the right to vote, given that—at times—such decisions can harm or benefit these very individuals.

If they are not citizens, why should they be able to? Foreign governments can send spies or tons of people to visit certain US cities just to tip the vote.

Voting is a right for citizens, not for non-citizens. Decisions about our government should be made by people who are legally part of this country. Allowing non-citizens to vote weakens election integrity and opens the door to outside influence and abuse. Protecting our elections and our sovereignty must come first.

I believe that illegal citizens should be allowed to vote because sometimes people come in the right way but may take years to finally be approved to be a citizen and there are also more ways which also take time.
@B9H3PGN5mos5MO
You are a foreigner UNTIL you are vetted AND become a US citizen. Up to that time you are not a US citizen and cannot share in the benefits that the US can/will provide. In no other country can you vote as a foreigner. If you FIX how the US approves citizens and in a timely manner then this issue goes away but until that happens you are a foreigner with no rights.

voting should be limited to citizens, since they have a formal, long-term commitment to the country. Citizenship sets a clear standard, avoids confusion about who qualifies, and ensures that decisions about national policies are made by those officially part of the political community

If someone is in America and is not a US citizen, there is no reason for them to vote in the election until they become a citizen and the elections matter to them.

I don't believe foreigners should have the right to vote unless they became a full citizen of the United States. Voting for our future leaders should be reserved for Americans, this is our country and outside views should not skew the wishes of citizens. Another problem is that political parties can use this their advantage. By allowing illegal immigrants to vote, a party can simply win for allowing illegal immigrants to stay in our country. That in my opinion is a false election and is a cheap thing to do. I have nothing against foreigners, but their political choices need to be relativ… Read more

"Currently residing" does not equal citizenship. Unless you have citizenship, you legally cannot vote.

@B8R66VF6mos6MO
I agree that on American citizens should be the only ones to vote in elections. Illegal immigrants did not go through the due process to become a citizen and because they have no legal stature in this country due to being a criminal, they should not have a say in how this country is run, especially since this country is not their legal home.

I believe foreingers do have the right to vote but under certain circumstances. If they aren't legal, they do not have a right to anything. This isn't anything about race, as I'm hispanic as well. I just don't think any American could go to any other country and demand rights.

Foreigners in the United States should not have the right to vote. The only people who should have the right to vote are U.S. citizens, and even though there may be people who aren't citizens living in the U.S. for extended periods of time, they should apply for citizenship if they feel so strongly about voting. The constitution says that citizens have the right to vote, and it should stay that way.
@B8MMLCNRepublican6mos6MO
I don't think people who immigrate to this country illegally should have the right to anything whether they are from africa, mexico, canada, or France. It shouldn't matter. I should not be allowed to go to another country and demand rights that are only avalable for natural born citizens. Additionally I think that if we make the way in which you obtain citizenship harder then people who obtain citizenship through those means should be allowed to vote.
@B8BRDH8Republican 7mos7MO
Voting should be limited to those who are officially citizens of America. If someone wants to vote, they must be a citizen. That is the standard.

THE QUESTION ITSELF IS FALSE A "FOREIGNER" IS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AND IF YOU ILLEGALLY ENTERED THIS COUNTRY YOU SHOULD BE PROMTLY CHARGED AND DEPORTED.

Foreigners are not USA citizens, therefore, they are here for a specific amount of time and reason, and should not have a say in what happens to the country they are not responsible for or are willing to help fund through taxes and other means.

Only citizens should vote in U.S. elections because voting is a core sovereign right tied to citizenship. Allowing non-citizens to vote dilutes the influence of citizens, undermines national sovereignty, and could shift policy away from American priorities. Citizenship comes with responsibilities and privileges, and voting is one of the most important of those privileges.
@B9Q4SBK4mos4MO
@B9TD8ZB 4mos4MO
Granting voting rights to non-citizens undermines the very foundation of representative government.
Voting is not just a voice—it’s a responsibility tied to citizenship, allegiance, and long-term accountability. Citizens vote not only for immediate outcomes, but for policies whose consequences they will live with for decades: taxes, national security, foreign policy, and constitutional law. Allowing non-citizens to vote gives political power to individuals who may not share that long-term stake or legal obligation to the nation.
A nation has the right—and responsibility&mdas… Read more

Only LEGAL citizens of the United States should be allowed to vote. If we are letting people who are not U.S. citizens vote we will not have accurate and true elections.
@BD6T82J1mo1MO
WE'RE ON STOLEN LAND. If they're here, and they're paying taxes, they should have the right to vote. Frankly, how could anyone be illegal on stolen land? The Immigration system is a nightmare, it takes forever to even become a citizen. MAGA Ahh take bruh. Talk to people in your community, learn empathy for more than your neighbours that look like you.

@B8MMLCNRepublican6mos6MO
Voting is a unique right that is outlined in the Constitution as given to legal citizens. If a foreigner lives within the United States for a long period of time, then I would encourage them to pursue citizenship, not only so that they can vote, but also so that they can receive the other rights and freedoms of citizenship. Pursuing citizenship demonstrates a seriousness in the system that is equivocal to the right to vote.
@B97W2SP 5mos5MO
Foreigners should not be allowed to vote unless they have gained full citizenship, so that they may fully understand the political landscape that will affect them as citizens.

@B8BDMZY 7mos7MO
Voting is both a right and a responsibility of Citizenship. Only citizens should have a full say in the nations future. Those who are not citizens may have divided loyalties or may not fully understand the long term impact of their votes.

@BB7FTN8 3mos3MO
If a foreigner has lived in the U.S. long enough to be accustomed to the government and society, which would be around 3-10 years, depending on your view, they should have had enough time to become a citizen, and only citizens, who are full members of the constitutional agreement between people and government should be able to vote, not just people who pay taxes.
@BB8378N3mos3MO
@BB7YLG93mos3MO
@BB826BHRepublican3mos3MO
@BB7Z96G3mos3MO
Even if someone is not a citizen yet, they may still live in the U.S. for many years, pay taxes, work, and follow the laws. Since government decisions affect their daily lives, it could be unfair that they have no say at all. Also, becoming a citizen can take a long time and cost a lot of money. Because of this, some people believe long-term residents should at least be allowed to vote in local elections.
@BD8N4ZD 4wks4W
@B8QKF2T 6mos6MO
Foreigners are not required to know our nation's history before becoming U.S. citizens, so they may not be aware of all the risks and benefits of voting someone into office. They were also not born here, so they should not have the same rights as American-born citizens.
@B8R5KZK6mos6MO
@B8RGJL9 6mos6MO
I agree with this, but I am confused about the risks of voting. since voting is such a controversial topic I believe it is important to be able to explain some risks or just back up that part in general. this might be misleading to the group of young Americans who are eligible to vote in the next presidential election. voting is very important and gives everyone a voice in our democracy, I just do not want anyone to doubt the voting in America.

They should not be allowed to vote if they are not legal us citizens this people may be biased and not vote on what is best for the country but what is best for there personal goal
@BC6Q6WQ2mos2MO
Illegal immigrants should not be able to vote in presidential elections because although they should have a fair chance to become a legal citizen, before they are put through the immigration process their opinions may be biased to to themselves not legal American citizens that worked to get approved for citizenship legally.
@BDLNFXF 2wks2W
Foreigners here illegally clearly do not respect the establishment of our country enough to have done even the bare minimum immigration processes, so why should they have the right to change it? Suicidal empathy is actively facilitating an invasion across our borders, and the demonization of law enforcement officers is already dangerous enough for everyone involved. Allowing the aliens to vote would degrade our ability to protect our sovereignty almost immediately.
@BDMFPDP2wks2W
I believe that these illegal citizens do contribute as they are desperate to live in a place like America, however, like the passage above says, they did not legally come here. If you found $100 on the ground but it had ink all over it, you would be able to see that it is worth nothing after being illegally tampered with.
@BDMLVP4 2wks2W
If they didn’t go through the legal channels of obtain citizenship, they should not be able to obtain the right to vote. Allowing illegal immigrants to vote is not fair to the immigrants that follow the correct process. Also illegal immigrant votes would dilute born American citizen votes which is not right
