Every action, every piece of legislation, every idea they left advance is anti-American, anti-freedom, and in direct opposition to America’s interest.

Non-citizens, illegal immigrants now may register to vote in San Francisco school board elections

By Lukas Mikelionis |  Fox News, July 19, 2018:

The city of San Francisco this week began allowing non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to register to vote in the November election for the city school board.

The effort follows the city’s passage of a 2016 ballot measure that gave the right to vote in school board elections to non-U.S. citizens over age 18 who live in San Francisco and have children under age 19, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The measure was approved by a majority of San Francisco’s eligible voters, but after the first two attempts failed.

“As a parent myself and a former member of the SF Board of Education it is critical that the voices of all parents are at the table, particularly those that have historically been denied a voice in the process,” Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer said.

“We want to give immigrants the right to vote,” Supervisor Norman Yee told KGO.

A similar initiative of giving limited voting rights has also reportedly been approved in Chicago and multiple cities in Maryland and Massachusetts.

But other San Francisco residents are expressing dismay with non-citizens becoming eligible to vote in certain elections.

“The reason I voted against it is that I think the right to vote is something that goes along with citizenship — and should be,” said Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee.

Some supporters of the measure, though celebrating, also expressed reservations that it could be weaponized by the federal government to crack down on illegal immigrants.

“The victory is that San Franciscans voted for this. In the face of what’s happening nationwide now, we stand strong. … But there is also a risk. So we as San Franciscans have set aside a fund to make sure that these immigrant communities are fully educated on their rights, but also their risks in this time and place in our country,” Fewer told the Chronicle.

She said it’s not clear whether non-citizens’ voting registry could be hidden from the federal records, because voting records are considered public information.

“I think in this case in particular, what is very risky is that we don’t know where this president will go,” she added. “Are there risks involved? Absolutely. But quite frankly, there are risks involved for all of us with the Trump administration.”

The measure granting non-citizens the right to vote will expire in 2022, but can be renewed by the Board of Supervisors, reports said.

I guarantee that every one of the illegals that registers to vote in these local elections will be allowed to vote in the next federal election. This is voter fraud.

I understand the sentiment but I think that would not have the effect you might think it would. That would provide them with a massive amount of fraudulent votes that they could manipulate as they saw fit. They would love nothing more than to be able to wield such influence on elections.

I am forced to agree. I`m frustrated by our benevolent,and apparently helpless Fed.s lack of effort to enforce our laws. Since when can a local city government declare in the face to the Fed. that they are a sanctuary city, and get away with it ? Then voting rights for illegals ? What next? let them run for office too ? The Fed. starting law suits against them, to my mind is ridiculous. Arrest their a$$`s & throw them in jail for trial. These people are deliberately breaking felony laws & thumbing their runny noses at the entire country. Forgive me, I see what you and many others see. Our country falling apart. I hear on radio conservative show, open talk of how the Dems. seem to want a real civil war. The talk show hosts are about 50 yr.s behind. I don`t want it, but I want a bloodless coup by them even less. I Like your user name. Apologies for the ramble.

FREE FOR ALL! COME AND GET IT!!

This is the MO of that doom ass lieberal jerk Jerry “The” Brown.

Welfare that now extends to voting. He feels this WHOLE country is entitlement for non-whites, Megroes, Mexicans, Mongrels, and Moslems.

RING THE BELL. Dinner is ready for you wel-fed, er welfare people. Vote with your chopsticks, fingers, dirty hands, forks, whatever……..

When / if the GOP retains its congress majorities (maybe even get stronger…?), a major overhaul on country wide voting procedures (safety / integrity / freedom) must immediately begin and be concluded well before the 2020 general elections!!

If this MAJOR election reform legislation will not happen, the DemonRats will pull out ALL the STOPS before 2020, and go on a massive campaign of fraudulent voting

One vital part of this legislation is a minimum, ten year federal prison sentence (+ a mandatory $100K fine to be substituted with an additional minimum of two years), to ANY person involved in election fraud!!!

The seditious / subversive / treasonous / revolutionary elements of American society that will commit election crimes to further their desired political outcome, must be dealt with an iron fist!

Agreed. There is NO innocent reason for wanting lax election laws.

Being a retired teacher from that state, letting them vote on school issues might not make the schools any worse. The schools and the state are already in the toilet! The best solution is to draw a line 50 miles inland from the coast. Remove that portion of California from the United States of America, then build a wall, connect that wall that runs to the Gulf of Mexico.

Talk about letting the wolves take control of the chicken house.
When I first started reading this article. I thought it was some sort of April fools day type of joke.
