    I can’t imagine why an illegal immigrant would want to vote. The whole thing is ludicrous.

              Do our territories pay tax? It looks like they do… and they definitely have no representation (non-voting delegates, non-autonomy, the only thing they get is the ability to raise issues and vote on committees, and frankly that’s nothing.)

            Right? Like, that’s your thing right? Stealing money from people? How does this part not excite you? Do you even realize that this is happening?

          Voters are convinced they’re “stealing” benefits and politicians know the score. Yet another reason we’ll never meaningfully deal with immigration.

      I know many citizens who think voting is ludicrous. The system is broken and it’s definitely not the fault of illegal immigrants.
