Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and several lawmakers are pushing the City Council to revisit a bill that would give noncitizen immigrants who legally reside in the Big Apple the right to vote in city elections — possibly in time for this year’s mayoral contest.
The current iteration of the Council legislation seeks to revise the City Charter to permit voting by those it describes as “municipal voters,” a designation that would include immigrants with lawful permanent residency or work authorization who’ve been living in the city for 30 days or longer.
We cannot be a beacon to the world and continue to attract the global talent, energy and entrepreneurship that has allowed our city to thrive for centuries if we do not give immigrants a vote in how this city is run and what our priorities are for the future,” Adams said. “Especially now during COVID, as immigrant communities face inequities that have led to unequal death and devastation in their communities, it is our moral and democratic responsibility to enfranchise taxpaying, hardworking legal immigrants and give them the voice they deserve.”
Adams, who is running for mayor, and City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, the bill’s sponsor, are planning to make their renewed push for the bill’s passage public Tuesday. Adams is calling on his opponents in the mayoral race to join him in supporting the proposal.

Explain what the point of being a law abiding citizen is in this day and age other than to serve as a piggy bank to fund all sorts of destructive lunacy and as a laughingstock to be picked on whenever it's convenient. We'd all be better off to leave this banana republic, renounce citizenship and then sneak back in as illegal aliens-THEN and only then will government serve us as the Founders intended.
Biden remorse is really sad.
You mean voting for communism gets you communism? Imagine my surprise.
You reap what you sow -- even when the oats are toxic.
Oh but the democrats and the leftists are such good people !!!
What is wrong with getting elected by American citizens. Are we not good enough for him?
Noncitizen immigrants are green card holders and people here on visas, not illegal immigrants.
Welcome to the America of massive election fraud, of course aliens are welcome to vote but the results are rigged in favor of candidate of the NY billionaire oligarchs.
Typical move out of the lefty handbook. Destroy everything they touch. Every institution and organization must be debased. About time they got to US Citizenship. Only a matter of time before instead of facing a jury of your peers, you'll face a bunch of illegals whose values are completely foreign to you.
Face it:
You're not being tolerant, you're not being inclusive, you're not being open minded, you're being conquered

If the Democrats knew Illegals would vote Republican, they'd be building a wall quicker than you could say "citizenship" !
Part of being a citizen is having the right to vote. Maybe if you are a legal permit resident, then maybe its time you took your citizenship exam and become a citizen if you INSIST on wanting to vote. No more of this shit where you hold permanent residency here and REFUSE to become a citizen. If you dont ever intend to be a citizen, then maybe its time we put a time limit on them to make them leave. Sorry, but you shouldn't be able to have your cake and eat it too. Its bad enough that we allow people to hold dual citizenships here. VOTING is the RIGHT of a CITIZEN.
Voting for these people is like hiring the arsonist to fight the fire they set.
The left is importing votes. That is only reason they are doing this.
Biden’s 100 day promises are ticking away and so far he’s got nothing to show for it (except “not being trump” which is his greatest strength) even though Dems control the house and senate and White House.
Progs insist this country act like all others-except when it comes to citizenship. At least other countries limit voting to citizens but here the Progs push for noncitizens to vote. As one poster above said we ARE being conquered, courtesy of the Progs.
(except “not being trump” which is his greatest strength)
Some strength!
"Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war. "

Great. The First Vegetable.
Even a person of color can be a horrible disgusting person. The phony left thinks not.
It's the Obama Presidency 2.0. Totally disgusting...
NO WAY!
No citizen....no vote!
Typical Democrat trawling for votes ANYWHERE! Why not have British citizens vote in America? Or us vote there. Adams is a jive turkey!
Liberal Demo House of cards... Let it cave.
