California has come up with another way to reward criminals who break immigration laws. San Francisco is considering allowing them to vote.
A plan is being considered that allow non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in San Francisco school board elections.The slippery slope here is obvious. First they're allowed to vote for school board elections, based on the premise that they send their kids to taxpayer funded schools and thus have a vested interest. Next they'll pushing to allow illegal aliens to vote in city council elections, county elections, recall Arnold Schwarzenegger elections, etc, etc.The San Jose Mercury News said Monday the proposed November ballot measure was aimed at getting more parents involved in their children's education by waiving California's requirement that voters be U.S. citizens.
If illegal aliens are going to get all the benefits of citizenship, why even have immigration laws at all. Perhaps the INS should stake out polling places on election day.

There aren't many privileges of citizenship. Voting and serving on juries are the only ones I can think of.
Other than making it easier to get a security clearance in the military, I can't think of any other benefits. Leave it to these folks to erode the benefits we do have.
In the interest of disclosure I am a naturalized citizen. Yes, we came here legally and some of my family have taken the oath.
I'm all for legal immigration and totally against illegal immigration.
