Someone's gotta sooner or later explain to me why doing shit like this is a good idea...
Democrats on the New York City Council voted with a veto-proof majority to give nearly a million foreign nationals the right to vote in local elections on Thursday evening.
The 51-member panel voted 33-14, with two abstentions, to pass a plan by Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan) that will give more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in city-wide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.
“We have made history today,” Rodriguez wrote in a statement. “Nearly 1 Million non-citizen immigrant New Yorkers will be allowed to participate in our City’s election!”
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn) said, hours before the vote, that she tried to organize a protest but that the city did not approve a permit. She voted against the plan, along with Councilmembers Bob Holden (D-Queens) and Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island), among others.

To hell with that pesky Constitution. The criminal commie left routinely ignores it...,and they'll just ignore it again to do this.
ReplyDeleteOne thing not being mentioned is the ethnicity of those who voted for and against. Let's face some fact, this nothing more than making sure YT is NEVER again elected as mayor of this formerly 1st world city. Rome has indeed been sacked yet again.
