NYC Council Passed Measure to Allow Roughly 800k Noncitizens to Vote in Municipal Elections
It’s official. The New York City Council passed the bill allowing an estimated 800,000 noncitizens to vote in municipal elections.

It’s official. The New York City Council passed the bill allowing an estimated 800,000 noncitizens to vote in municipal elections. The vote was 33 to 14, with two abstentions. Unless Mayor Bill de Blasio vetoes the bill, it will become law.
Mayor de Blasio has previously stated he had no plans to veto the bill. Republicans have threatened to challenge the bill, saying it is unconstitutional. Even a potential legal challenge, de Blasio has already warned is unlikely to survive.
The measure would allow non-citizens to vote for mayor, City Council members, and other municipal officeholders but would not allow them to vote in federal elections, such as for president or members of Congress, or in state elections that elect the governor, judges, and legislators.
The move will allow noncitizens who have been lawful permanent residents of the city for at least 30 days, as well as those authorized to work in the U.S. and DACA recipients, to vote in municipal elections.
If the measure becomes law, the Board of Elections would be tasked with outlining an implementation plan by January. That plan would be required to include voter-registration rules and provisions to create separate ballots for municipal races to safeguard federal and state elections.
New York City would join a dozen communities across the U.S. that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, including eleven towns in Maryland and two in Vermont, the Associated Press reported.

Trump, Rep Biggs: invoking the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation will ‘be necessary’

At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.
Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”
Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”
“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”
“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”

As a matter of fact, why don’t they just let people in Russia vote!?? At least then they would be correct when they accused the Russians of interfering in our elections!!!

This subject is infuriating the only difference will be, now when they vote it’ll be legal. They’ve always voted and they DO vote in presidential elections too! That’s the only reason why California is a blue state.
Without them and dead voters AND double voters Democrats would NEVER get elected.
LMAO NOT‼️

Surely Mayor Bill de Blasio will veto. They are not citizens of USA.
