Immigrants who are here legally are not eligible to vote unless they are naturalized citizens. Being a legal immigrant does not automatically make you a naturalized citizen, first you have to get legal residency, and after a certain amount of time has passed, you can then apply for citizenship if you so desire.
Thank you. That clarifies it for me without having to try to twist the meaning of the sentence to imply that they only mean illegal immigrants.
At which point,officially, you are no longer considered an immigrant, but a citizen!
Thanks to all the pandering politicians, who feel obligated to say "I am an immigrant", the language and rules have become totally distorted by the media.
Do you really think that Nguyen, who was an immigrant himself, would be saying that citizens can't vote? Anyone receiving the letter, and stupid enough to think that, shouldn't be voting!
