It varies by state, but almost anyone can vote in local elections as long as they have a driver's license, which is not hard to get nowadays. I don't think they even have to pass a driver's test. And most don't have car insurance that you only find out when one has an accident. That is why most accidents are hit and run here in California. So again, it is the taxpayers that have to pay, not the illegals.
@Daniela1982 what state gives driver's licenses without a test or proof of insurance? I think you're thinking of state issued photo IDs, not driver's licenses
@OtterMan68 Well they are driving here so if they don't have a license then they are driving illegally. But they don't need one to travel as they get free airfare to where they want to go.
@OtterMan68 Are you replying to the right thread? Flying free is not the same as a driver's license. I never heard anything about Africans flying free from Africa to the US, just illegals in the US being able to fly from state to state, not out of it. But if the illegals were going back to their own country, I'm sure that could be arranged.
@BarryLiverstone Because they are not citizens. You want illegals being able to vote for Biden? What illegals work? Why should they as they get everything free that citizens have to pay for? Do you see citizens getting any break in their taxes? In fact, there is talk about them raising taxes. I'm tired of paying for their keep on my dime. I would like some freebies too but realize that will never happen. If it were Trump who was President and wanted illegal immigrants to vote for him and promising them American Citizenship and a lot of freebies, the Democrats would have a cow! Are you serious? 😯🙄
Read the papers sometime instead of being woke and allowing everything that is happening in the US to occur and hiding your head in the sand like the government wants you to do. I suppose you think that all the single Venezuelan military aged men and the same from China are here for a convention? You'll be the first to cry foul when some form of terrorism happens here. 9/11 may be just a memory now, but I remember when it unified the whole country. Right now we are horribly divided. We have money going everywhere except to our own country's needs. In California the homeless situation is grim. Crime is rampant. When they catch some criminal they just let them go. I'm certain everyone knows things are getting worse. I have no clue why you don't know this. If you want a source read or watch the evening news. 🙄
@musicbrain5 Why don't you remove all these anon dick questions instead of calling a person a troll because they have a rightful political opinion? While it is true they have some good people coming here they also have cartel members, drug dealers, sex traffickers, murderers, rapists, and pond scum, and I'm sure a lot of people you wouldn't living in your neighborhood. You can't refute that. This is a slap in the face to every legal immigrant who have to wait years to gain entrance, and after spending a lot of money to do so. They also have to have a sponsor that will verify they have employment and a place to live. They also do not get free anything as all the illegals get - and on the taxpayer's dime and backs. But you are from Canada so what happens in the US is any or your concern I'm sure. But don't discount the opinion of people who live here and are seeing all this shit going down where we live.
They're doing more than just letting them vote in Commiefornia -- they're giving them gov't jobs that pay very lucratively, and carry full benefits, pension, medical, etc.
“CLAIM: Tyson Foods is hiring 52,000 people who entered the U. S. illegally.
THE FACTS: The company has no current plans to hire 52,000 workers in the U. S., a spokesperson for the company said. In addition, all of its workers are required to have legal authorization for employment in the country.”
@Billlewis The government did the same thing in California with the Vietnamese immigrants after the Viet Nam war. The Post Office was forced to hire them even though they couldn't read or write English very good. My dad said that these carriers misdelivered mail all over the place. When he complained to the Postmaster he was told that they had no choice, the Government forced them to hire them.
@Daniela1982 Yes I’m from Canada, but I am also a US citizen as I was born there. Of course I care about what happens. But as you say this issue is only happening in California, then this is a pointless question as we all know California went way off the deep end during the Obama years, and maybe even before that. So maybe people need to try voting for politicians who actually give a crap about legal immigrants with green cards trying to become citizens, and who are much harder on ones who sneak in through a hole in the fence.
@musicbrain5 Well you never know, Newsome might try running as President- or Vice President, sometime soon. That would do no one any good. But that is just my and millions of others in California opinions. 😕

What does the Constitution say about who gets to vote in local or state elections?

@Daniela1982 it's not just illegals driving without licenses.

@Daniela1982 no one is giving illegals free air fare
Tbh if they're not from her they probably know more truth than most of Americans who vote
My mother was a Detroiter. Maybe I can go the the U. S. and vote.
Non-Citizens Cannot voted in Federal or state elections
I'm a legal citizen, and I'm thinking of never voting again
Makes sense. They live and work in the local area so why not?

Yes I am serious. I never said illegals. Residents can work and vote.
Why are you taking away the rights of residents in the USA?
My mom isn’t a citizen of the USA. She has voted for a long time. For Trump and bush and others. Why would you want to take away her voting rights?
I’m in Florida. My mom isn’t scum! Please apologize.
USA politics is peak comedy if you ask me (from both sides)
Haha told ya far leftists it was true.
More false information floating around.
Where is this information coming from?
They are getting to vote in California. All they need is a driver's license that Newsome passes out like candy.
That’s not a source.
I doubt she will provide a source. She just called my mom scum.. likely she’s an internet troll.
@BarryLiverstone People get so tough behind a screen.

Do you want illegals to be able to vote in America?
Go live in California and find out for yourself.
@Billlewis Well they supposedly laid all the Tyson employees off and gave their jobs to illegals, because I'm guessing, they can pay them less.

She’s right. Legal immigrants and residents should have rights and not be called illegals.

Just another step in making politicians money
