Can't Vote But Campaigning Hard For Presidential Candidates

College student Belen Sisa loves Bernie Sanders.

Sisa, a 21-year-old who attends Chandler-Gilbert Community College, is so passionate about the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential hopeful, she was rooting for him to run for president long before he announced his candidacy.

On a recent Friday evening in downtown Phoenix, Sisa and other volunteers set up a Sanders table at the city's monthly art walk. They propped up a life-size cardboard cutout of the candidate, chanted "Feel the Bern!" and registered fellow Sanders supporters to vote in the primary.

But even though Sisa is happy to volunteer for Sanders on a Friday night, she herself won't be voting for him.

She can't.

Sisa is not a citizen, and there is no path for her to become one. She's a so-called DREAMer — she grew up undocumented in Arizona after her family came here from Argentina.

"The way that I see it is, I am one person and I can't vote, but if I get 10 people to vote that means a lot more than my vote alone, whenever I can vote," Sisa said.'

  1. This is a perfect example of the dumbocrat vote grab.

    This illegal alien (calling it what it really is!) could be responsible for a number of legal voters voting for a concept (benefiting themselves) - not the benefit of the country!

  2. Can we citizens learn something from this girl?
    There's so much of this lock-and-load huffing and puffing, but many of those same people won't even get out of their chair and go talk with people about what's going on.
    Many people, especially younger ones, don't have a clue about what is happening and how it is going to ruin their lives in the near future.

    Do you care about them? Show them you do. Explain to them in a kind way how the various policies are affecting them and what they need to do to change them.

    I don't think any of us want armed conflict. I'd much rather engage my neighbors and acquaintances in calm, logical discussion.

    But be sure that there is disaster on the horizon if we don't educate and motivate the low-info voters and help them see what's in it for them.

    Do what you can to save our Republic. Start right now.

  5. And why does she feel unable to apply for citizenship under our current immigration laws?

    Because she'd rather claim a falsehood so people will feel sorry for her and vote her agenda.
