San Francisco began registering non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants, to register to vote Monday in the November election for the city school board, reported The San Francisco Chronicle.
The move follows passage of a 2016 ballot measure by San Francisco voters opening school elections to non-citizens who are over the age of 18, city residents and have children under age 19, reported the publication.
“This is no-brainer legislation,” Hillary Ronen, a San Francisco supervisor, told the Chronicle. “Why would we not want our parents invested in the education of their children?”
“We want to give immigrants the right to vote,” Norman Yee, also a county supervisor, told KGO.
But Harmeet Dhillon, who serves on the Republican National Committee, told the station she disagrees with those assessments.
“The reason I voted against it is that I think the right to vote is something that goes along with citizenship and should be,” Dhillon told KGO.
San Francisco became the first city in California to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections following passage of Measure N with 54 percent of the vote after two previous failed tries, reported KTVU.
There are concerns that the non-citizen voter registration rolls, which will be open, could be used to target people who entered the U.S. illegally, reported The San Francisco Examiner.
“Our immigrants, are they vulnerable? Absolutely,” Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer told the publication. “But in San Francisco we stand strong together.”
President Donald Trump and California leaders have clashed repeatedly since the 2016 election over immigration enforcement, sanctuary cities and voter fraud allegations.
Community organizations, such as the Mission Economic Development Agency, plan to meet with non-citizens to inform them of the possible risks, the Examiner reported.
Chicago and some Maryland cities also allow non-citizen residents to vote in school board elections, reported KPIX.

No
Non-citizens never register to vote legally...
Its illegal to vote if you are not an American citizen...
So they pay property taxes?
Not another federal dime to San Fransicko.
San Fran is falling apart. It’s the case study for how not to run a city.
I don’t see what would prevent some guy from Alabama from putting on some Mexican clothing, memorizing a fake Latino accent, and just showing up in San Francisco to register and vote (naturally as a homeless guy).
Just following Bammy’s lead. IIRC, he said, in the run-up to the November PRESIDENTIAL election ‘if you live here, you can vote’. No consequences because, you know, if you disagreed or criticized Obama, you were a RACIST.
Of course!
So, how many Americans get to ‘interfere’ in elections abroad? Which countries permit us to do that?
Crickets
Is this not illegal? What happens in November when US Reps And Senator are on the ballot? Do the illegals just promise not to vote on that part of the ballot?
Trust me, I know with the left they first demand something small and want to end up with illegals voting for every election.
And they still cry about outside meddling in elections???
Where are the protests? Foreigners meddling in US elections!
Oh, it is only a scandal if the rumored activity fails to benefit Democrats.
No. Non citizens are allowed to break the law by authorities, who are themselves breaking the law.
So Illegal is Legal now?
Good, now I can order that case of frag grenades.
That’s for Presidential elections.
Sad that San Franciscans are a-okay with NON-CITIZENS speaking for their/their children’s behalf.
I guess they’re getting the government that they deserve (and allowed).
It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in National and State elections. Local school elections are free to allow whomever they wish, based upon municipalities. Apparently in November 2016 voters in San Francisco approved a proposal to allow all parents of children in the San Francisco school system to vote in school board elections regardless of their immigration or citizenship status. This will be valid for the 2018, 2020, and 2022 voting cycles.
Don’t the demodummies have enough illegal voters already? They are still pissed that Hitlary lost because the “deplorables” voted against her. Guess they don’t want that to ever happen again so any/all illegals will be allowed to vote EVERYWHERE if they have their way.
I theorize that this is the initiation of incrementalism on the part of SF. Once this is established as routine, they will move up to the next level and allow illegals to vote for council members and local sheriffs.
Frog and boiling water theory.
That’s my thought as well. It’s not like their names will be purged out for the state and national elections. California should be excluded from any national elections, but it won’t happen.
