Voting Rights for Aliens
- Share via
Voting is, in essence, the people’s voice in their society. To propose, as Julian Nava does, that the right to vote be given to non-citizens is absolutely ludicrous (“Immigrant Rights Heats Up Mayoral Debate,” Dec. 6). If immigrants wish to have a say in this society, they must become a part of this society.
Nava states that “ . . . the best way to bring them (resident aliens) into the mainstream is to allow them to participate in government.” If these aliens wish to participate in our government, let them start by applying for citizenship.
