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?

I don’t really care… they are people too if they’re here and they live here and they feel the need to vote. Let them vote.

 @B9FVYZ3 from Illinois  disagreed…5mos5MO

That's unfair and wrong. Everyone deserves to vote, even if they weren't here before. Land of the free, isn't it?

 @B9H42LD from Arizona  disagreed…5mos5MO

if they pay our taxes they should be able to vote, if they do not they shouldnt. same with any united states citizen, if you dont pay taxes you should noy be able to vote

 @B9H2Y9R from Illinois  disagreed…5mos5MO

some foreigners are immigrants who moved to the U.S. and are in fact paying taxes. Plus, they’re living here as well and should be able to have an opinion on the situation at hand.

 @B9GXF5K from Indiana  disagreed…5mos5MO

Not being able to pay taxes is not their fault, because where they came from shouldn't dictate where the end up.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
