Racism Is Charged of Opponents of Voting Rights for Noncitizens

Submitted by lj, Sep 8, 2008 13:33

The opinions of American citizens do not count in our country anymore. Only those of illegal immigrants and foreign governments. We cannot vote in their countries and if we are their illegally we are deported. Any American citizen who puts the loyalty to another country as a priority should not be allowed to vote either. You are either an American or you are not.
