Why should legal, permanent residents be banned from voting in local elections by some “higher” governmental unit, if the majority of the local jurisdiction wants to let them do so?

Do you disagree with the founding premise that the government which governs best is that which is closest to the people?

Citizenship and voting are a rule for nearly all countries, especially civilized countries.

The irony is that you are importing voters from a culture (and not requiring assimilation) that don't agree with and/or don't understand our founding principles.

ETA: Requiring citizenship at least attempts to fix this problem

Do you disagree with the founding premise that citizenship is at once an ideal, definitive, desired, and practical?...

You never did explain why state and local law enforcement are required to give Miranda warnings since, as you say, "the Bill of Rights only applies to the federal government".

So, so close. What is missing from their legal, permanent residency Hanky? I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count.

What if the majority of the local jurisdiction wants to declare that their neighborhood is sovereign Mexico?

Because they aren’t citizens.

By your moronic standard, foreign nationals could mail their vote in if the local municipality deemed it okay.

1.2 billion Chinese could sway a many election. The world, via corrupt local officials, would become communist.

What a stupid idea.

There is no logical reason for non-citizens to vote in ANY election. The idea is absurd.

You've got to be a troll, because no one can be this fricking retarded. Yeah, I said retarded. Voting is/should be one of the major rights of a U.S. CITIZEN! You really want to let non-citizens vote. My Lord you are a grade A idiot.

cause they are not citizens genius. the are citizens of other countries where they can vote. if they want to vote, become a citizen or go back to where you are a citizen. voting whether in federal, state, or local elections is for citizens, thats fricking basic
