This mayor should be recalled and thrown out of office. Wonder if his bill included legal aliens? If not, why?
The right to vote is not a right because you live here, it is a right because you are a citizen. First local elections, next State, then Federal? What is becoming of our country?
Ummm...why? It has to pass through their local elected officials. If it does pass it would only be for local elections not federal elections. I thought you conservatives were all about deciding these type of things at the local level?
It opens the box up, legal wise.
Where did I say I was a conservative?
Even if it is a local issue, why would you support it?
They are "illegals". They should not be in the US to begin with.
I wouldn't support it. At the same time...saying the guy should be recalled and thrown out of office...what happens if the citizens of his city agree with him?
Then the mayor will be re-elected I guess.

The citizens in the south agreed with secession, too. What's your opinion on that?
Who wants to to bet that this clown thinks that most of the illegals will vote for him? :rofl
Secession is a little different than allowing people to vote in local elections.

This city is down the street from where I live. The illegals would probably vote for the current mayor, so he has some motivation here.
Next week he is going to ask for all the people in North Korea to have the right to do write-in ballots.
1) Connecticut, as far as I know, isn't exactly a prime nexus of illegal immigration.
2) He has a point in that there are taxpayers who pay local taxes who do not have a say in how those local taxes are allocated.
3) Illegal immigration would be less of a problem if we could make it more affordable and less bureaucratic, which is the kind of reform we need to lower illegal immigration.
Anyone holding an address within the city limits should be able to vote.

So, you just think it's a good idea based on nothing more then a whim.
