April 5, 2006 -- A push to give Big Apple residents who aren't citizens the right to vote kicks off today, with throngs of immigrants flocking to City Hall to back legislation giving them access to the ballot box. The Voting Rights Restoration Act would allow permanent residents, or "green card" holders, who have lived in the city for more than six months to vote in local elections. "We have a large number of people who are documented and pay taxes, but can't vote," said Councilman Kendall Stewart (D-Manhattan), chairman of the council's Immigration Committee and a prime sponsor of the bill. But Councilman James Oddo (R-S.I), who opposes the bill, called it "an affront on hardworking Americans." "I think we should have a vote on it and see which council members are willing to put their names on it," he said. In Maryland, six cities permit noncitizen voting, and in Chicago, permanent residents can vote in school-board elections. - Snip

Wow!

It's over. We lost our country.
Remember the Alamo! Fight on!

I guess I'd have to ask these morons, what's the point of having borders AT ALL? What's the point of having citizenship AT ALL? Why not just let anyone who wants to come in here?
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
How do we fight? Who do we fight? Who listens to us? We are over taxed and without representation. It's over, and has been for some time.
To determine to which gang you pay the bulk of your protection money. What's the point of having citizenship AT ALL? To determine which gang has the most right to off you. No poaching! Why not just let anyone who wants to come in here? That's fine, as long as they take their number and pay their protection money.
That would be to keep you from voting in Mexican elections.
and Bush was the coup de grâce.
That would be to keep you from voting in Mexican elections. lol! Very true.

And the worst part Flint? There are more BUSHES in the fucking pipeline, including a BROWN one. This family is the spawn of demon seed.
Schools Ban Patriotic Clothes, Flags I wonder when the shooting will start...
Brilliant. What a wonderful message to send, "Mexicans win this round!". Maybe we should replay the audio/video of what the Mexicans yelled at the World Soccer match a couple years ago. As our players left the field in unison the Mexicans in the stands roared, "Osama! Osama! Osama!".

Considering we're a country where barely half the population can be bothered to vote, this may get more people voting. After all, they're only casting the votes Americans won't.
"I don't hate all Arabs just because a few of them blew up the World Trade Center, so why should they hate all US soldiers just because one shot their father?" asks US Army Cpl. Joshua Hedges, of Warrensburg, Mo., a father of three. "Saddam had [things] under control and we don't basically," he says. "Iraq was safe under Saddam. You weren't safe from him, but you were safe from your neighbor and you were safe from Syrian people trying to come in and blow things up." - Pvt. Isaac Ussery, of Naples, Fla
