http://abc7news.com/politics/sf-department-of-elections-issues-voter-registration-forms-for-non-citizens/3773817/
Monday the Department of Elections Issued Voter Registration Forms for non-citizens who are eligible to vote for members of the San Francisco Board of Education in the November 6th 2018 election. The measure passed in 2016 with a close vote of 54 percent to 46 percent following two failed previous attempts. They have "non-citizen voter registration forms". --- "I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."

Non-citizen voting will be available at every Board of Education election until November 2022. It will expire then unless the Board of Supervisors adopts an ordinance allowing it to continue. This sounds reasonable. Try it for a few years before they really commit --- ~A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men ~ TWSSted since~ 3/27/12 https://imgur.com/zlaENmx ...

Yeah, this is definitely slippery slope territory. Being the poster-state for ultra-progressive it will leech out into local public elections until, ultimately, California allows non-citizens to vote in state elections. Then all it takes is the right collection of idiots in Congress to allow them to vote in national elections.

I don't really see this being a problem. It's only for the board of education, and it only applies to non-citizens who have children attending public school. It also ends in 2022, so it's a trial run. Let them see how it goes. It's an experiment. Just because one city is allowing this for one part of government doesn't mean tomorrow they're gonna control all of government.

Esrac posted...Seems like a bad idea. I mean, can't you apply that logic to every level of government? I agree in a limited sense here, because the public school thing with respect to undocumented immigrants is a particular concern. Most forms of federal public service are easy to deny to undocumented immigrants (Medicaid, Medicare, SS, SNAP, all generally things illegal immigrants aren't allowed to get with limited exceptions) but state and local level services like public schools are a thing California has tried to deny in the past, but courts determined they were not allowed to do so. Interestingly, the law that limits the ability of undocumented immigrants to access most forms of public assistance is also the reason states can't add additional restrictions on public benefits -- the courts ruled that California could restrict access in line with the welfare reform act of 1996, but no more https://migration.ucdavis.edu/mn/more.php?id=1391_0_2_0 In Los Angeles on November 14, 1997, US District Court Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer in Los Angeles ruled that Proposition 187 violates both the US Constitution and the 1996 welfare law, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Under the ruling, the PRWORA requires states to follow the federal guidelines established in PRWORA when they seek to regulate the access of unauthorized foreigners to welfare benefits. The ruling declared that "California is powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate immigration. It is likewise powerless to enact its own legislative scheme to regulate alien access to public benefits. It can do what [PRWORA] permits, and nothing more." Pfaelzer is expected to convert the temporary injunction preventing enforcement of Proposition 187 into a permanent injunction by the end of 1997. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

Undocumented people are not citizens. But not every non-citizen is undocumented What's the point in dissembling? About half of non-citizen immigrants in California are undocumented, and a much higher share of immigrant households have at least one undocumented member (I think something like 2/3, again for California specifically). It's clearly going to be the flash point. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...
