Sounds like these idiots are confusing “residency” with citizenship. I believe only the federal government can make that call.

All of which will be waived if they are on the government dole.

Can you be the citizen of a state, but not a citizen of the USA?

Can I ask a stupid question???
Is it even possible to be a citizen of a state? I thought we were American citizens and residents of whatever state we live in.
I have the same stupid question. They can't give them voting rights for federal elections (rep, sen, pres)....that cannot be legal.
This is insane.

Yeah, you have a point. I am still trying to believe in an America that is a nation of laws and governed by the Constitution and reasonable men.
It sure is getting harder and harder to do that.
To: Whenifhow
How can someone here illegally legally submit an income tax return? They are admitting to breaking US laws by working. And what are they going to use for identification? A stolen SSN or forged taxpayer ID number?

This is in clear violation of the Constitution.
Naturally, there will be no prosecution by the current ‘justice’ department.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Yeah right!!! Illegals are going to start paying taxes and abiding by state laws so they can vote and get their names on a government list? They vote anyway without any responsibilities of being a citizen. I’d love that deal.
To: A_Former_Democrat
There’s no Earned Income Tax Credit in New York State income tax. They tax every dollar, starting with the very first one.
To: Blood of Tyrants
All they have to do is ask the IRS. The IRS will give them an ITIN whether they are a citizen or not. Look it up. Of course they don’t pay. They get back more than they paid in or they wouldn’t use the ITIN.

“When my sister did taxes for H&R Block she said illegals would file taxes. When she asked why one of them said, To establish that I was here and paying taxes. One day that will make me a citizen.
A friend of mine worked with illegals, and they had taxes taken from their paychecks (I don’t know how they handled the Social Security number issue). They told him the government left them alone as long as they paid taxes.

Huh? How can a STATE government grant UNITED STATES citizenship to a person?Oh well, it's New York. New York is that state that, like Illinois, does not provide for the replacement of a LT. Governor. The state Court of Appeals (State Supreme Court equivalent) ruled that "Who cares? Screw the dusty old state constitution, we can make this up as we go along, whatever's politically expedient for the democrat party is cool."
So OF COURSE they can grant US citizenship, ban guns, ban large cup sizes of soft drinks, whatever the hell they want.

No one is above the law, EXCEPT the politicians.
Foolish are the people who keep voting for them.

RE :”
Huh? How can a STATE government grant UNITED STATES citizenship to a person?” Read a little closer, its says NY State citizenship of which there is no such thing:
“In return, said Friedman's group in a release, immigrants would get New York state citizenship, financial aid for higher education, health care, drivers’ licenses, professional licenses, the right to vote, the right to run for office, and protection against racial profiling. ‘
Of the above 'the right to vote' gets my attention.

Pardon me, but this hypocrisy has gone way over the edge.
There is no way NY state can do this after what SCOTUS told my state of AZ.
Supreme Court Blocks Key Provisions of Arizona Law, Affirming Broad Federal Power over Immigration
June 25, 2012
the Supreme Court voted 5-3, mostly siding with the Obama Administration to affirm its broad powers and unambiguously ruling that Arizona cant make immigration laws that supersede existing federal statutes.
............
In a majority opinion authored by swing vote Anthony Kennedy, who was joined by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts and liberals Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Ginsburg, the court held that federal law pre-empted three of the four main tenets of SB 1070. Arizona cannot make living there without documentation a state crime with its own penalties, even though its already a violation of federal statute, Kennedy wrote.
