Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years

Living here for five years does not make them a legal citizen, which means under our constitution they are not qualified to vote. If they are a legalized citizen, then yes.

 @9FL6LP3Women’s Equality from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, because that can be forged. Even living in the country for 5 years does little to show their commitment to the American culture and country.

 @9FPKC9J from Wisconsin  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No they foreigners residing in the United States for 5 years should only be given the right to vote if they have become a U.S citizen.

 @9GNPP7S from Michigan  disagreed…2yrs2Y

i think that 5 years is not enough time and that we should make them stay longer becuse they need to know a lot about the current and past governement to have an educated vote on todays politics

 @9F7TR24 from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

because if we just let foreigners that have been here lets say a week or a month vote without a regulation of 5+ years than anyone can come here vote and go back to where they live and maybe shady stuff can happen

Israel Missile Strike Kills 5 U.S. Aid Workers

The Israeli military fired a missile, killing five people in the lead vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza that it claimed had been hijacked by militants.The military also said it killed a top Hamas commander and two other fighters Friday as its large-scale operations in the West Bank continued into a third day.The D.C.-based nonprofit that organized the convoy, American Near East Refugee Aid, known as Anera, described it as a “shocking incident” in a statement Friday and said that those killed were from a local transportation company. It was urgently seeking more details about the incident.The convoy had been delivering medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah, Palestine Country Director Sandra Rasheed said in the statement to The Washington Post, and its route was coordinated with the Israel Defense Forces.Thursday’s incident is one of several such attacks this week. In remarks to the United Nations Security Council on Thursday, the U.S. representative, Robert Wood, referred to an incident that occurred Sunday, according to U.N. officials, in which he said the IDF fired toward a UNICEF vehicle.On Tuesday, at least 10 rounds were fired into a World Food Program vehicle, which the United Nations blamed on Israel and prompted WFP to temporarily suspend staff movement across Gaza. Wood said the Biden administration was “deeply alarmed” by Tuesday’s shooting and urged Israel to “immediately rectify the issues within their system that allowed this to happen.”
