'I Don't Vote In Mexico If I Am Going To Be In Mexico!': Byron Donalds Decries Non-Citizen Voting
At a House Oversight Committee hearing prior to the Congressional recess, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) spoke about the Equal Representation Act, which would stop non-citizens from applying to forming Congressional districts.

I think it’s also to make sure a certain population takes all the rough jobs. With more access to education and skills training, fewer and fewer Americans are going to be willing to become plumbers, custodians, hard hats, etc. these jobs are largely employed by undocumented peoples. It’s easy for employers to violate human rights

Most rights are independent of good function of the state and allowing our government involvement in the exercise of those rights would only be corrosive to the protections our countrymen enjoy. Requiring proof of citizenship to exercise speech, assembly, practice of religion, life, property is counter to American values and would be destructive to the legitimacy of our state. In matters of political determination (the vote) the opposite is true.

What is also surprising is that illegals can pass through an airport without any ID at all and get on a plane. *Do people not remember what 911 was all about or are we teaching DEI and LGBTQ curriculum instead of knowledge in schools now?* Wasn't the planes hitting the World Trade Center and other targets the entire reason for creating Homeland Security in the first place? Then we put a Cuban immigrant in charge of that? People are not thinking anymore they are reacting. What the government should worry about is the reaction they least expect.
Rep Donalds spot on, as usual.
The difference is, vacationers aren't going to Mexico to stay on the public dime and they weren't brought to Mexico for the express purpose of tipping voting balances toward a particular party.

Unlawful bringing of aliens into the United States (a) Persons liable (1) It shall be unlawful for any person, including any transportation company, or the owner, master, commanding officer, agent, charterer, or consignee of any vessel or aircraft, to bring to the United States from any place outside thereof (other than from foreign contiguous territory) any alien who does not have a valid passport and an unexpired visa if a visa was required under this chapter or regulations issued thereunder. (2) It is unlawful for an owner, agent, master, commanding officer, person in charge, purser, or consignee of a vessel or aircraft who is bringing an alien (except an alien crewmember) to the United States to take any consideration to be kept or returned contingent on whether an alien is admitted to, or ordered removed from, the United States. (b) Evidence If it appears to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that any alien has been so brought, such person, or transportation company, or the master, commanding officer, agent, owner, charterer, or consignee of any such vessel or aircraft, shall pay to the Commissioner a fine of $3,000 for each alien so brought and, except in the case of any such alien who is admitted, or permitted to land temporarily, in addition, an amount equal to that paid by such alien for his transportation from the initial point of departure, indicated in his ticket, to the port of arrival, such latter fine to be delivered by the Commissioner to the alien on whose account the assessment is made. No vessel or aircraft shall be granted clearance pending the determination of the liability to the payment of such fine or while such fine remains unpaid, except that clearance may be granted before the determination of such question upon the deposit of an amount sufficient to cover such fine, or of a bond with sufficient surety to secure the payment thereof approved by the Commissioner. (c) Remission or refund Except as provided in subsection (e), such fine shall not be remitted or refunded, unless it appears to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such person, and the owner, master, commanding officer, agent, charterer, and consignee of the vessel or aircraft, before the departure of the vessel or aircraft from the last port outside the United States, did not know, and could not have ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence, that the individual transported was an alien and that a valid passport or visa was required.

The voter must be present in the United States in order yo vote.
how absurd
Agreed common sense
An increase in the influence of women in public life has often been associated with national decline. The later Romans complained that, although Rome ruled the world, women ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar tendency was observable in the Arab Empire, the women demanding admission to the professions hitherto monopolised by men. ‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian, Ibn Bassam, ‘have the professions of clerk, tax-collector or preacher to do with women? These occupations have always been limited to men alone.’ Many women practised law, while others obtained posts as university professors. There was an agitation for the appointment of female judges, which, however, does not appear to have succeeded. Soon after this period, government and public order collapsed, and foreign invaders overran the country. The resulting increase in confusion and violence made it unsafe for women to move unescorted in the streets, with the result that this feminist movement collapsed.
I didn’t yield before I’m not yielding now

Non citizen voting is a CRAZY term to even say or use in a court of law or house of legislation
He’s right. It’s common sense. It’s amazing how many people have none of that nowadays.

This is what we have come to. At least this gentleman is on it.
Whenever you have to explain what to an adult, something that an adult would assume is common sense, you KNOW they have an "un-rational and deceptive motive." There a little to no exceptions to this rule.
Good point Byron.
If you model it out, you'll see that it is a bad idea to let non citizens vote. If we did, any country in the world could just send in large numbers of voters across our open border to vote for a total take over without a shot fired.
