First "defund the police" and now giving the right to vote to non-citizens.

Even for Democrats, immigrants conjure up scary ideas- Not sure if it’s just pure ignorance or what. The article talks about permanent residents among the people who would be eligible to vote. Some of the responses to this thread made me wonder if those people even understand what permanent resident is. I mean the name alone says it all but yet the article managed to accomplish its job of scaring Americans.
One response said they don’t have the same stake in their communities. Well that’s news to the permanent residents that not only work there, purchase homes there, have businesses there that employ other people here, serve in all branches of the military, they are firefighters, police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses and anything you can think of that keeps a community going.

Jamaal Kashhoggi was a non citizen. He was a permanent resident. His work for an American newspaper cost him his life.
Elon Musk, whether you love him or hate him, was creating billion dollar businesses as a non citizen before he became a citizen.

By the way , trump admin raised the citizenship application to an exorbitant amount. It is now over $1,100. I wonder why? It was around $450 during the Obama years.
It was already a backlogged system. Trump of course made it worse, then came Covid and the wait is even years longer.
