While they are illegal, if they are paying money to the government, they should be able to vote for who controls the government.

 @B922H5G  from Oklahoma  disagreed…5mos5MO

This could easily turn into people from out of country rigging the elections MORE, than they already are. For example Russians voting for a socialist candidate.

 @B9W28FP from Oklahoma  disagreed…4mos4MO

There is no reason for someone that is not a U.S. citizen to vote. They should not be here in the first place, and they should not get a say in which elected officials will run things. Proper American citizens that pay taxes, buy homes, and are law abiding should be the only people allowed to vote in elections.

 @B89Z69B from Oklahoma  disagreed…7mos7MO

If they are ILLEGAL they do not deserve the right to vote in a country’s election that isn’t theirs.

 @B8C4SMZ from Oklahoma  disagreed…7mos7MO

The right of foreigners to vote is something that no nation in the world has ever afforded immigrants, and that is because citizens have a vested interest in the continuation of their country. However should a foreigner become a citizen then they now are invested enough to vote on the fate of the nation.

 @B9RV9P4 from Oklahoma  disagreed…4mos4MO

only citizens should be able to vote because it is directly affection them. most foreigners aren't as affected by some laws

 @B8JPJZQ from Oklahoma  disagreed…6mos6MO

They aren't from here they are gonna do whatever they can to stay here and don't really care about what happens they are not from here and should be taken away.

 @B8JTJKT from Oklahoma  agreed…6mos6MO

Non-citizen residents, including green card holders and documented immigrants, pay billions in taxes. In 2021, non-citizens contributed about $491 billion to the U.S. GDP and spent over $30 billion in state and local taxes annually, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

 @BDD2P4S from Oklahoma  disagreed…3wks3W

I believe if thye have been here for a while than that okay but new Foreigners should not be able to.

 @BD88RGW from Oklahoma  disagreed…4wks4W

In recent history the Democratic party are those who support illegal immigration. Allowing Undocumented immigrants to vote will sway polls in an unfair way. Legal immigrants should be able to vote because they are citizens of the USA, Illegal immigrants should not have access to things like voting because they are not citizens and did not come to the United States the way it’s created to be done.

 @B8C3VGH from Oklahoma  disagreed…7mos7MO

What are the prevention methods to stop those who do not live here, who aren't paying the taxes, from just coming and voting in an election that they might end up leaving the country the next month? However, if a person is here on a more permanent residency, then special circumstances can be made.

 @B9RFXRC from Oklahoma  disagreed…4mos4MO

If you are not a United States citizen you should not have the right to vote. Our rights are only guaranteed for United States citizens.

 @B8HQPH5Peace and Freedom from Oklahoma  disagreed…7mos7MO

foreigners where not born in the United States therefore they have no right to vote as unless they are a United States citizen

 @BBDGWBB  from Oklahoma  agreed…3mos3MO

Plenty of people have to pay taxes, but majority of them are people who might not have citizenship. They are the ones doing things most "legal" people don't want to do, they should have a say in who comes into office.

 @BDT3MJT from Oklahoma  disagreed…2 days2D

I don't think that they should be allowed to vote. They are not from our country, and I do not think that they should be able to make decisions that are for the good of our country when they aren't even from the country.

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.
