Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, said Friday he plans to introduce legislation to withhold federal funds from cities that permit citizen voting, a day after the New York City Council moved to allow legal residents to cast ballots in local elections.
“No city which allows non-U.S. citizens to vote should receive U.S. government funds,” Mr. Rubio tweeted. “Next week I am going to file a bill to make that the law.”
The New York City Council voted 33-14 Thursday to extend the franchise for municipal elections to lawful permanent residents who have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days,....

Noncitizens that get to vote and impose laws on citizens.
Extraordinary.
"resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days,.."
Not sure why these brave repubs file bills they know will never reach the floor or be voted on.
Come on man
Let’s go brando
WOW, good for Rubio.
This is a great idea.
My guess is that if this ever became law, which I hope it will, our corrupt legal system and courts will go the way of the sanctuary cities ruling on withholding federal funds prohibiting these funds for violation of the rules for this funding.
In Rubio's case, it is a prop seeking to improve his GOP creds for a future POTUS campaign.
True. They are all bluster and puffed chests when they don’t have a chance. Give them the majority and watch them fold. How many times did they vote as a unified block to get rid of Obama care only to hide when they had the first two years of Trump to get it done.
Republicans always introducing bills when they’re the minority and know they won’t be passed, let alone signed by the dem president.
rubio is a fraud. As a new constituent of his district/state, I will be voting against him in the primary. And I will try to convince anyone I meet to do the same. I have contacted his office several times regarding the un-American, torturous and inhumane treatment of the Jan-6th protestors. His office has not even bothered to send me a pre-printed acknowledgment they received my email.
This insanity is a civil rights issue. By giving ‘the vote’ to people who have no business voting - it decreases the value of citizen’s votes.
One citizen - one vote. Rubio needs to push this so vile democrat filth understands stealing citizens votes is Jim Crow crap.
The law would allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections only, not in state elections or federal elections. So why should Rubio care who votes for the New York City mayor?
The problem with even localized non-citizen voting is that it can still tip statewide elections and electoral college slates, thus even affecting Presidential elections.
Rubio may be sympathetic to illegal aliens, but he’s right on this one.
We shouldn’t be funding cities anyway.
Not only that, but Rubio also has to deal with getting it past Assistant Democrats like Mitch McConnell.
why should Rubio care who votes for the New York City mayor?
besides the fact that NYC is 75% minority and who knows how many illegal minorities?
But I’ll offer up Calif as an example. Illegals can vote in local and state elections. So they vote in their tribe, who push rules and regs and ordinances to preferentially provide for the tribe (under the guise of AA) instead of the general good. It’s how more than a few California cities became 100% tribal with Californians of the wrong tribe forced out of town and towns run just like they were back in messico - corrupt and militant. Compton and Bell Flower come to mind. And this trickles upward
In 1998, the state assembly was 71% white, 7% black and 19% hispanic men; assemblywomen were 70% white; 30% hispanic with no black assemblywomen. The state senate was 87% white, 1% black and 29% hispanic
By 2015, “Minorities (combined) now fill the majority of Democratic seats in... California ...” But at most, that would only be 1-4% black, while the black population remained at 7%.
In 2020, the state assembly was 55% white, the same 7% black as in 1998, with hispanics at 26%; the state senate was 55% white, 24% hispanic, and 4% black. Between 2015 and 2020, women increased representation in the legislature from 26% to 31% and men decreased from 74% to 69%.
At the same time, the black population has maintained it’s 7% share of the population but has lost representation to hispanic candidates who may or may not be legal citizens and who may or may not have been elected by taxpayer citizens.
