I cannot believe that anyone who is an US citizen would have that opinon. Our ancestors fought and died to give our CITIZENS the right to vote, and live in a democracy. The people who are not citizens could very easily sway the elections to the detriment of this country by not being able to understand the issues or concerns of the citizens. That does not mean that all citizens who vote understand all the issues, but they have a legal right to vote. There are millions of Mexicans who want nothing more to take "back" the US and are willing to do what they can to ensure that. With that attitude, and the fact that American citizens, either born here or legal, are quickly becoming the minority, I am afraid that anyone who has children or grandchildren, should be very concerned about the life they will have. I think it is absolutely CRIMINAL to allow criminals to vote. When you break the horrific laws that would be enough to send you to prision, you lose the right to vote. I have also heard and read that all of this is true on the network news shows-not any of the cable news-not to say that it hasn't been on those either. Our country and its government is quickly being given to anyone and everyone other than the actual American citizens. It breaks my heart to see our country stray so far from principals, morals, and the right thing to do. I just hope it is not too late for the remaining wonderful people of this country to take it back.
