Democrats want to make citizenship irrelevant showing disrespect for the American dream...all for the sake of the Democratic vote. This proves to me Democrats are turncoats.
Do anything and everything to get into America. Everything goes for you in America if you are an illegal immigrant. You can vote, be on welfare, teach in public schools, whatever you like...as long as you can get into the United States.
LINK: New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito has long refused to pledge even ceremonial allegiance to the American flag. No surprise, then, that she displays no respect for American citizenship, either.
Mark-Viverito wants to grant voting rights to non-citizens — including, perhaps, illegal immigrants — in all municipal elections. And she’s not alone.
Meanwhile, New York state’s newly minted Education commissioner, MaryEllen Elia, champions licensing illegal immigrants to teach in New York’s public schools, as well as to practice 52 other regulated professions. Not that her views really matter, of course. The state Board of Regents just approved the change. (It’s a going-away present from Chancellor Merryl Tisch, soon to depart after seven years as felonious former Assembly speaker Shelly Silver’s hand-picked education czar.)
New York’s entitlements — principally welfare and Medicaid — don’t pay for themselves. Nor do the other public services — including schools and police and fire protection — available to all non-citizen residents simply by virtue of their presence.
Thus while immigrants give, they also receive. Not to put too fine a point on it, if immigrants didn’t get the better part of the deal, most wouldn’t have come to New York in the first place.
Then there is the matter of fairness: Non-citizen voting would display profound disrespect to the millions upon millions of immigrants who came here and willingly — indeed, enthusiastically — embraced America.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
