Congress should create a one-time path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who admit violating the nation’s immigration laws but have no other criminal history, said Arnold-Jones, the Republican nominee for New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House.
“If you’ve been in our country illegally and you raised your hand and you have done everything to become a U.S. citizen, and you acknowledge that you broke the law, the consequence is withholding the right to vote even though you’re a citizen, because you cannot buy citizenship,” Arnold-Jones said.

so I guess that is a ‘no’.
Felons who can’t vote are not another ‘class’ of citizen. They broke a law and lost a right of citizenship as a consequence. Not really that complicated.
Thing is, if I were an illegal what would I be worrying about? Getting my life tossed in the crapper by being deported. Not not being able to vote.
My point is that this checkmates a BIG anti-American, ultra liberal weapon. They use it to keep Mexicans in line. Yet most Hispanics are by nature conservative, Without fear of deportation, they could vote the way they want to.
They might be more likely to worry about breaking the voting law if they weren’t already lawbreakers.
The difference between: Heck, I broke one law, why not break another. And: I’m not breaking any law right now why take a chance on some dumb voting law.
You see, the Dem.s wouldn’t OWN them anymore.
Why? Felons haven’t.
And that is done one-by-one.
I’m really surprised the media hasn’t suggested the obvious. Annex Mexico.
Voila! Problem solved.
LOL Ohhh yeah.
[smile]
Right. If they want American citizenship THAT badly, let’s just move the border SOUTH.
