Foreigners that are U.S. citizens should completely have the right to vote. They have experienced what life is like in this country and are just like people who were born in this country. People who are not citizens naturally do not posses the right to vote based on the Constitution.

many non-citizens live, work, and pay taxes in the community for years, sometimes decades. Because local laws affect their schools, jobs, safety, and daily lives, they have a real stake in the outcome of elections.

I can understand this perspective however just because you are not a citizen of a country doesn't mean that you cannot have an opinion on the way a country should govern especially when it affects other countries. For example the immigration crackdown that has deported immigrants back to their home country is affected by this as well considering that not only the population increases but their safety and human rights are not being taken into consideration. Other countries can also be affected with decisions made in one that is not their own and if so they should have a right to decide how they will be affected or contribute to such decisions.

I would say that they don't have that right unless they have permission(or in this case citizenship)

Even if they're not citezens if they have either been here for majority of their life or for more than 10 years they should be able to vote because the process to even become a citezen is extrmely tedious and hard and cost alot of money for legal fees. Also letting noncitezens benefits society as a whole as by allowing a permanent class of non-voters to persist on the margins benefits elites that wish to profit from undocumented people’s labor and divide workers between those with papers and those without them. Far from diluting the concept of citizenship, noncitizen voting would enrich it by fully incorporating immigrants. Rather than undermining democracy, it would counteract elite driven policy and promote more robust democratic practices.

Whether or not they are citizens, they are still residing here. The example here is irrelevant because the example used says you visit and then leave. Non-citizens are residing here in America, and many of people in these circumstances run from dangerous governments and things of that nature in their home countries. Whether or not it is legal, we have life significantly better in the U.S. compared to the rest of the world.

The United States was built for immigrants, and if the citizens has liberty in other countries, why immigrants can't have it.

I agree to an extent. To clarify, I agree that non-citizens, both here and abroad, should not be allowed to vote in any election, local or federal. I do believe, however, that non-citizens have every right to speak on any issue they please. If the issue affects them enough to want to vote, then apply for citizenship and vote in a future election.

If you are a illegal immigrant you should not be aloud to vote. Also everyone should be required to show voter ID

Absolutely true. If you're not a citizen here, you don't have the right to say what you think should change.

I fully agree with this comment and believe that only legal citizens deserve these legal advantages and U.S. rights.

I agree, there is no reason for someone that doesn't pay taxes or make any contributions of that sort to be able to cast their vote and essentially being equal to someone that is an actual citizen of the country.

I can't completely disagree, but although if this person has lived in your house and knows for long enough time then they can makes suggestion
