New Democrat tactics

I guess giving them a California driver’s license isn’t enough for some loony libs up in LoonyLibtardia (known to the rest of the country as “San Francisco"). Now a SF City Council member wants to give them the right to vote. Oh, they claim it’s just for the school boards, and (of course) “It’s For The Children”(TM), but their logic can be extended to include city councils (and the respective issues), then county supervisory boards (and their issues), then finally State Offices (and Voter Initiatives), all under the guise of “fairness”.

They claim to want to give the vote to non-citizens, claiming that the parents of students who might not be citizens should still have some say in how their child is taught in the local schools. I haven’t heard anything that says that they will be required to actually have children in the school system to be able to vote.

Of course they will have to prove resident status. Funny thing is that with the Matricula Consular, they can get California driver’s licenses, and if they can rent a house, they get utility bills (which are acceptable proof of residence for the County Registrars), and none of it requires actually legal resident status.

If they are allowed to vote on school issues, what about school bond issues? And since the local school boards are subordinate to the State board, will they get to vote for the State Board of Education? Would they then get to vote for city officials who write the laws pertaining to the safety around those schools? And county officials handle the Sheriff’s department, who cover the security for schools in rural (farming) areas, so on it goes…

Each step seems logical given that they are here in the first place, ignoring two vital issues: 1) They are probably not here legally in the first place, and are therefore subject to arrest (even assuming that the law enforcement people are permitted to turn them into Immigration authorities); and 2) non-citizens don’t get to vote! (That fact adds incentive to getting them off their respective derrieres and becoming citizens.)

You aren’t a citizen of the United States? Then you are a citizen of another country, and your allegiance can be presumed to lie with that nation. You do not get to influence local politics, because your best interests may not necessarily lie with those of the citizens in that region.

Unless, of course, you are an official of a political party that is worried about losing another election.
