Noncitizen voting has Boston residents worried

Some city residents worried about “watering down” what it means to be an American have hit the phones to object to a proposal before the City Council today to allow noncitizens the right to vote in municipal elections, Councilor Michael Flaherty told the Herald.

“I got a lot of calls today from folks who are concerned we are watering down what it means to be a citizen of the United States and have the privilege to vote,” Flaherty said.

Ted Kennedy smiling....


I think he had to pack his hot weather wardrobe and may be in a place where he is too burning hot to feel like smiling.

If everyone can make up their own laws, why can’t conservatives send democrats to life in the gulag like they did to us in USSR?

The whole point of the 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders was importing sufficient numbers of fraudulently documented foreigners to combine with useful idiots to vote US out of our country.

Subsuming the USA to the UN is the goal.
We wouldn’t vote for that so they importing people who will.

I am still shocked that any American city, town or state would allow NONCITIZENS to vote. A stupid phony voter ID or one from a driver’s license for someone NOT an American is outrageous.

Please see my tagline.

Yes, I believe the mayor who makes Tom Menino look brilliant said “We will not be intimidated...” by such policy.

Elections do have consequences. You’re going to have non-taxpaying, foreign nationals electing your politicians. Good job!!

Might as well outsource voting to China. After all, don’t they also have a right to determine what we do?

What the hell does having voting rights in a city have to do with Pres. Trump? I thought the stated purpose was to get people involved in LOCAL AFFAIRS.

This smells like a false front to get non-citizens involved in US presidential and congressional elections, which is ILLEGAL (Boston is trying to make itself an exception. Homey don’t play that game, Comrades).

Law abiding, hard-working, tax-paying citizens of Boston: Get out now while you still have a choice and before you lose your shirts.

MA is losing population and therefore House seats. This makes perfect sense since it’s the only way they can attract warm bodies. Sucks to be a taxpayer, and that’s why they’re bugging.
