Yes

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.

The are not Americans. When you become an American citizen you can exercise your right to vote all you want.

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 moree to their own country, if they decide to become a citizen, then by all means they should have the right to vote. Legal immigration is a very different story than allowing illegal immigrants to become a part of our nation without proper authentication and paperwork.

These people are not US citizens and should not be allowed to vote and go against actual citizens. If foreigners are allowed to vote, then it removes power from real citizens, whether they were naturalized or natural-born.

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

if thier not going to feel the full consiquences for their disisions than they shouldent vote. American citizens should be the ones to vote for american leaders

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.

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.

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.

I think that it’s important for foreigners to take the citizenship exam and be educated enough to make a vote.

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.

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.

Those who have not done the given qualifications to become a United States citizen should not be granted the right to vote as a United States citizen.

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.

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.

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

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.

If a foreigner has illegally came into our country, they should not hold the right to have an influence in our countrys politcal leaders.

In every single other country across the globe that has closed borders, if you enter illegally, you will be detained and deported. Why the people in America suddenly have a problem with it when it happens over here is a question beyond me. I believe giving illegal immigrants rights is unconstitutional and goes against the very foundation f America. You committed a crime, why should you have ANY stance here.

No one should be allowed to vote that isn't a citizen of the United States and that has the correct identification documents to do so.

Voting is usually limited to citizens because they are the ones with long-term legal ties and responsibilities to the country. Allowing non-citizens to vote could weaken the meaning of citizenship and let people who may not stay long-term influence major national decisions.

The word foreigner should explain it itself. If you are not a us citizen you should not get to vote and effect the actual opinions of the us citizens

They aren't a citizen so they don't deal with our government the same way a citizen would. They also don't pay taxes to OUR government so why would they be able to vote?

They are foreigners, they don’t belong to this country and therefore should not be able to dictate foreign (US) policies.

They have not earned it. They are not citizens and they are not subject to US jurisdiction. They are foreigners with no status in the US.

Per the constitution the right to vote is reserved for US citizens only, so no foreigners should be allowed to vote until they become naturalized citizens.

No, voting should be strictly restricted to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (Green Card holders), and completely banned for undocumented immigrants.

They are not citizens of the united states and it should be a requirement to have citizenship to vote.

It will give foreigners the ability to interfere with U.S. elections when they are not a citizen, yet. Not every foreigner has good intentions. This is why every non-U.S. citizen should have all paperwork thoroughly checked as well as living and household and health status.

If you are not an established member of a group, you should not have the right to vote on things that affect the said group.

Foreign voters don't know what is best for the country because they haven't been in the country long enough to know anything.

This could easily be abused by foreign governments to attempt to swing elections in their favor, requiring citizenship for voting rights helps ensure that those who desire to vote have at least gone through the legal process and have an understanding of our country as it is now and its history.

Foreigners currently residing in the United States should not have the right to vote, because they may have the interests of their home country over those of the United States.

Foreigners should only be allowed to vote if they went through the process of becoming a US citizen.

Citizenship standards are important. If you are born in the US, you are a citizen. Otherwise, people must go through the system. Although I do think the system should be changed and be more efficient

why should they get a vote if they are illegal aliens they came here with no documentation they should get sent back to where they came from in the most humane way possible.

There illegal why should they vote if they cant buy a house or car so why should they vote no green card no voting

The foreigners are just that foreigners. you wouldn't let someone make decisions on matters that don't concern them because their opinion is irrelevant.

I believe if you are from another country, but you currently reside in the U.S and are a legal citizen or have a status to live here, you should be able to vote. Everything our government does affects how we live our day-to-day lives. So if it affects you, you should be able to vote instead of depending on others to come through for you.

I don't think Illegal immigrants should vote. They are not U.S. Citizens and I think it is unfair to the Legal immigrants who worked hard to get here.

Is the foreigner a civilian of the United States? If they are citizens, then they should have the right to vote. Elections are for the people of an area who live in the area and wish the best for said area. If an individual is not devoted to their area, like becoming a citizen requires, then they should not be allowed to have a voice in voting regarding their area.

Foreigners are not left to live with the decisions of their vote: they're not registered citizens, therefore they exist consequence-free of any involvement they've had in their political participation within the United States. I consider this unjust; unfair to all voters and taxpayers.

the declaration of independence specifically cites that we cannot let any foreign nation inflict their will on our sovereignty.

Foreigners are not American citizens. American women, who were always citizens of the US, had to fight to be able to vote with fellow citizens simply because they were females. Elizabeth Cady Stanton made the argument in one of her speeches that because the US Constitution said one who was a United States citizen could vote, women were included.
To delay voting rights to women in America for decades, and then to quickly offer them to Foreigners is hypocritical.

It makes sense to give them constitutional rights to protect them, but they shouldn't be able to vote as they presumably have no stake in this land.

I can understand whare someone who said yes is coming from, but I believe someone who is a native or spent a significant amount of time in the country should be able to vote, cause they have been around the climate of the country.

No sir only persons who were born here should have the right to vote and only allow that power to citizens.

If you are not a citizen then why do you get the same rights, that would be like if we went over to a club we are not involved in and started trying to tell them what to do.

Only those who have a vested interest in the long-term outcome of our nation should be allowed a vote. Those who are not citizens, and therefore not totally committed to this country, should not get a vote.

We dont know if they will stay so having people that are not US citizens vote will throw the voting out of place and if they aren’t willing to get their citizenship do they even really care.
