I see no issue with this so long as it stays at the local level. 

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

I find that just odd. And maybe it works for the US maybe it's a good thing I'm not sure but the power of being a citizen is to vote, and being part of the future of your country or where you live. If everyone can vote then why even bother becoming a citizen? If the whole world can be a new yorker then there's nothing special about it

The constitution lays out voter qualifications for federal elections and its a pretty settled area of law

Everyone should be able to vote in the country, state and city where their permanent address is (where they have lived for at least a couple of years) no matter their nationality

This. I’m a legal permanent resident and have been living in the US for 10+ years and  it sucks not being able to vote for things that affect me.

Not unless they're a lawful, legal, citizen. If we let every Tom, Rick, and Harry vote during elections, what's the point in having an immigration process? People who want the right to vote need to go through the proper means to secure their right to vote. Sorry. I will never support allowing non-citizens to vote in federal or even state elections.

I am planning to apply for it this year. I honestly thought that you became a citizen after a certain time living here with a permanent resident status :messga:. Which I wished it was that way because I basically get treated like a citizen.

Yes there shouldn't be an immigration process. Everyone should be able to live where they want

Yeah, I realized that years ago. It is a lengthy process so I am getting everything ready. I can’t afford a lawyer to help me so I am gonna do the whole process myself. Or maybe I’ll get lucky and find a rich citizen to marry.
