Are voters ready to let illegal immigrants vote? A sizable number, including most Democrats, are.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that one-out-of-three Likely U.S. Voters (35%) now believes that illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote if they can prove they live in this country and pay taxes. Sixty percent (60%) disagree, while five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Fifty-three percent (53%) of Democrats think tax-paying illegal immigrants should have the right to vote. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Republicans and 30% of voters not affiliated with either major political party agree.
The U.S. Supreme Court has just agreed to hear a case challenging how Texas sets up state legislative districts. Texas currently counts everyone in the state, including illegal immigrants, before carving up districts of proportional population size, but the challenge argues that only eligible voters should be counted because the current system creates some districts with much larger numbers of eligible voters than others.

Of course the dumbocrats want them to vote - they expect them to vote dumbocrat to continue the free (to them) handouts!
it is illegal for a non-citizen to vote in a gov't
election why can't politicians read the constitution they just figure the working class is too lazy to vote and they will get passed any bill they introduce in congress
I think democrat politicians should pay their taxes also.
U.S. citizens 18 years old and older can vote. Non-citizens should not, regardless of their tax status, regardless of where they live. Voting is a right conferred upon citizens, not anyone else.
