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

 @B8CTRF7 from Idaho  agreed…7mos7MO

If someone breaks into your house, illegally, they do not belong there. If they come through legally, then its like having a guest. If someone breaks in illegally, they should have no say in American decisions. Leave that to Americans. If you want to come in the country, come in legally.

 @B8QMTW9 from Utah  disagreed…6mos6MO

Foreigners are not citizens, so they do not deserve to have a say on our country's voting administration. There are legal ways to immigrate, it's America first, illegal immigrants do NOT get to make changes when they aren't even citizens.

 @BDBL48W from Utah  disagreed…4wks4W

They are not United States Citizens so why should they be able to vote on the problems of the United States.

 @B9RQRZZ from Utah  disagreed…4mos4MO

People who are not citizens of the US should not be allowed to vote for anything as they are not citizens therefore it is not their right to vote for US presidents or officials

 @BD6PRFV from Utah  disagreed…1mo1MO

Only U.S. Citizens should have the right to vote on how the U.S. is controlled. I do not think that if all of Canada came and visited for voting day that they should be able to vote that day.

 @B9MD3FC from Utah  disagreed…4mos4MO

American citizens should elect American leaders, I cant nor do i want to go to Mexico and vote in their elections because it's not my country and i haven't earned the right to elect their leaders.

 @BD3P8YV from Utah  disagreed…1mo1MO

No, they should not because they came here without permission. But can be given the chance to gain rights by becoming American.

 @B9VMFT6Women’s Equality from Utah  disagreed…4mos4MO

If the foreigners are living in the U.S full time then they should be allowed to vote but if they're planning on moving out of the U.S any time soon then they shouldn't be able to vote on a president who won't even impact them at all.

 @B8766HW from Utah  disagreed…7mos7MO

They don’t know our customs, so how should they be able to vote on these customs and traditions. But some should still be able to if they secure documentation in certain instances or living here long enough (10 years or however long needed to get citizenship normally).

 @BD8J8TB from Utah  agreed…4wks4W

I think that they should be able to vote because it is kind ainfair for them if there not able to to vote and I feel like everyone that is here should be able to vote.

 @B8CGR57 from Utah  disagreed…7mos7MO

Even though I am also a foreigner, voting is right for citizens because this is one of the most important citizen right and until they get their citizenship they shouldn't vote.

Trump's Deportation Storm: America Braces for Mass Exodus of Immigrants

For months, immigration advocates have been planning for the possibility of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Now, their worst fears have arrived.Immigrants’ rights groups have spent the last year preparing for a second Trump term and an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system, analyzing Trump’s proposals, drafting legal briefs, coordinating messaging and organizing aid for immigrants and asylum seekers. They responded to Trump’s victory with alarm and vowed to put up a fight, setting the stage for four more years of contentious court battles with his administration.Some are already preparing to push current leadership at the Department of Homeland Security to take steps to stymie the incoming Trump team, particularly on immigrant detention and the use of AI in enforcement.“We should expect to see the devastation of immigrant communities all over the country. We should expect to see family separation,” said Kica Matos, the president of the National Immigration Law Center. “It is entirely possible that he will try to use the military to carry out deportations, so that means that Americans all over the country will see the military engaging in enforcement against civilian populations, which is horrifying.”Trump, after winning a historic victory on a platform of turbo-charged immigration enforcement, has said he will conduct mass deportations at a scale never before seen. Immigrant advocates have warned this would be expensive and inhumane, separating families and wrecking communities. The president-elect has also vowed to build huge detention camps, hire thousands more border agents, funnel military spending toward border security and invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expel suspected members of drug cartels and criminal gangs without court hearings.He has also said he would end “catch-and-release” — allowing migrants to remain free, often with monitoring, while they await immigration court hearings — and restore a policy from his first term requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed. And he has dodged questions about whether he would try to bring back family separation.
