If a foreigner has lived in the U.S. long enough to be accustomed to the government and society, which would be around 3-10 years, depending on your view, they should have had enough time to become a citizen, and only citizens, who are full members of the constitutional agreement between people and government should be able to vote, not just people who pay taxes.

All U.S. Citizens should vote and it should be mandatary for everyone to go vote. If the foreigners became naturalized citizens then they have the right to vote.

 @BB7YLG9 from Missouri  agreed…4mos4MO

I think that if they have been in the U.S. that long, they should be a citizen. If they are not at that point, it is on them, and they do not have the right to vote.

 @BB826BHRepublican from New York  agreed…4mos4MO

Yes, you aren’t deserving of the right to vote just because you’ve been in the country for many years. Citizens only

 @BB7Z96G from Arizona  disagreed…4mos4MO

Even if someone is not a citizen yet, they may still live in the U.S. for many years, pay taxes, work, and follow the laws. Since government decisions affect their daily lives, it could be unfair that they have no say at all. Also, becoming a citizen can take a long time and cost a lot of money. Because of this, some people believe long-term residents should at least be allowed to vote in local elections.
