Illegal Immigrant Voting!!

You've got to be kidding me !!!!

The chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party is dismayed by a mayor's plan to ask state legislators to allow illegal immigrants who live in New Haven to vote in municipal elections, characterizing the proposal as a "publicity stunt."

Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola told FoxNews.com that while the organization believes in "inclusiveness," citizenship has long been a standard requirement for voting rights.

"In fact, the right to vote in free elections is still an issue that people in many other countries continue to fight and die for," Labriola said. "We support legal immigration and reasonable measures to provide a path to citizenship, but we don't support providing rewards for illegal immigration."

New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, a Democrat, said on Tuesday that illegal immigrants pay taxes indirectly through rent and send their children to local schools -- and therefore should be able to vote. The proposal would also lead to a more engaged community, he said.

Well I can see one way this would be OK.

"Your an illegal immigrant? OK well your voting booth is in the bus that is parked out back, If you will go ahead and take a seat we will be with you in a moment."

Holy crap! The way people who are legally eligible to vote give up their right by not even bothering to go to the polls is bad enough! Give the illegals the right and pretty soon they will outnumber the legal ones voting! WTH is the matter with us?

I am Legal but not a citizen and I can't even vote. Even though I have lived here for 11 years and paid my fair share of taxes. I would bet that if the illegals could vote I probablyt still would not be able to!!!!

At least your doing it the proper way with the legal docs. I guess that's the difference between people from the "North" and people from the "south"

Thanks for following the rules KYCanuck

That is pure BS! Show me where they pay taxes. He has it all wrong. We pay to have them housed, free food at school, we pay for their books and special teachers because they don't speak English. This chit is already out of hand.

People, we need to change the "ranks" in this country and let those "elected" officials know who "they work for".
