MANY Democrats here still upset about 2016 are defending their ability to sway votes with illegals.

It's not at all clear.

Yeah. Time to take a break. Been a bad morning for ya Juicy.

Are non-citizens permitted to vote in City of Chicago municipal elections?

As long as they vote straight ticket democrat.

RR,fine the voting part may be a small part. The more disturbing thing I find when it comes to the Left/progressive/Liberal governments that are embracing the illegals and doing things like this for them is this.
They are saying this card can help them get government services and aid. There should be no way any illegal or even refugee should have a dime in government help until all of our own are taken care of. We have around 400,000 homeless people in this country,12% are Veterans and 7.4 % where children alone. That should be our leaders priorities,not the fucking DACA people. I still do not understand how SCOUS can override a repeal of a ex order? I know they can prevent an unconstitutional one,I do not see how this repeal is in any way that at all. 14.5% Americans are in Poverty level or below,that should be the focus of our leaders,not making sure that the refugees we take in are given are $5000 to start up and then around $2500 a month to live.
Another thing that had me SMH,yesterday the USa forced the leaders of the world to label Pakistan as a leader in terrorist funding ,yet we till send these fuckwads $8 billion a year? WTF??? This is a level of bullshit that makes you just want to wish someone would start a Thermonuclear war

Do you respond this way for attention or...?

A cursory search indicates that they are only legally allowed to vote in school council elections.

What about dead non-citizens? How are their voting records in Chicago?

To add to the above, it would seem that it's not a Chicago rule, but a state one ... from the Illinois school code §105 ILCS 5/34-2.1. Local School Councils (d)(ii)(c). “Eligible voters for each attendance center shall consist of the parents and community residents for that attendance center.” This change was made in 1988 and, I believe, only applies to cities with a population > 500k.

And in many schools, few parents actually vote. Although, in my sons' old grammar school, most that did tended to be from the minority Hispanic population.

I was never against this. Actually they have one that isn't free called a passport already.

Baby McCown has to have the worst memory of anyone on this board. He couldn't even keep it straight that CH isn't a Republican. He's like the CFMB version of Julie DiCaro.

He seems like one of those people who views everyone as a friend or as an enemy with no in-between (and he knows which one you are within 1 minute). So you either support ALL Democrat ideas or ALL Republican ideas. Nothing else is possible.

Ask yourself the same question. I wasn't addressing you at all.

So a poll tax. Well that fits.

I know you need attention. Glad I can give it to ya.

Why not? I pay an AR15 tax.

Whoa whoa whoa. See I've been told that because of Heller I have to just accept your right to have an arsenal. Are you saying that Heller matters but Harper doesn't?

Your last line aside, recognize that in another thread you were talking about billions being spent on Air Force One. In the same vein there was an increase in completely discretionary defense spending of what, almost $60 billion?

From my perspective it's a bit dishonest to complain about the social safety net that fails many citizens here, but rather take every opportunity to complain about others living here, but not a peep about the Pentagon, where there hasn't been a full auditing of the decades of sheer waste and fraud.

Why do you hate our military? Why do you hate America?
(the nation, not the poster ... everyone hates him)

Why can't you hate and complain at both the military and the freeloaders and the poster?

Should be,I have said before that I think it is ultimate stupidity for there to the US Army and Marines using seperate combat rifles with different calibers. The fact that we have vehicles and equipment all over the place to a multitude of contractors. The pipeline needs to be fixed and rationalized. I mean can anyone really explain why the Airforce flys the F-16 and the Navy/Marines fly the F-18?

Pretty horrible thread here.

It had potential.

Hey JORR, your favorite bow tied attack poodle is leading off his FoxNews show with the same non story you did.
