As a 3rd Generation American, I do not (and am very
ill-postured to) oppose immigration. I
encourage those who would wish to become a contributing member of America's
diverse society to immigrate here and become citizens, just as all four of my
grandparents did.
But citizenship should have privileges. Like voting.
There are many, many obvious problems with this, not the
least of which is the potential for voting fraud. If the same voting machines are used at the
same time for City Council and Gubernatorial and Congressional elections, how
will they ensure that the aliens only vote for the local offices and not the
state or national ones?
And will the suburban municipalities on Long Island, where I
live, do a "Monkey See, Monkey Do" and pass similar ordinances?
I can go on and on, but it is past my bedtime, we have busy
day tomorrow, and I need my sleep. I'm
sure, dear reader, that you can continue this rant in my absence. Exodus of wealth from New York. Corruption. Disrespect for those, such as my grandparents 100 years ago, and some of my students now, who qualified for and earned their citizenship. The problems, as I said, are quite obvious.
