New NYC law allows its 800,000 noncitizens and 'Dreamers' to vote

NEW YORK -- More than 800,000 noncitizens and"Dreamers" in New York City will have access to the ballot box - and could vote in municipal elections as early as next year - after Mayor Eric Adams allowed legislation to automatically become law Sunday.

Noncitizens still wouldn't be able to vote for president or members of Congress in federal races, or in the state elections that pick the governor, judges and legislators. The measure would allow noncitizens who have been lawful permanent residents of the city for at least 30 days, as well as those authorized to work in the U.S., including"Dreamers," to help select the city's mayor, city council members, borough presidents, comptroller and public advocate.

Adams recently cast uncertainty over the legislation when he raised concern about the monthlong residency standard, but later said those concerns did not mean he would veto the bill.

Oh wow...must I say...

Send them back….

These Democrats are getting ridiculous.

Lmao at the dissenting voices here. 'Yes, give us your taxes, your labor, your economic contribution, but don't you dare lend your voice. You don't deserve a say in how you conduct your lives.' You're describing slavery with extra steps.

I really love the comments that whoever doesn't like it is racist and that non-citizens pay taxes just like citizens 😁

Can we go their country and vote for political leaders?

Is this a joke?

Racists will be mad.

This guy will be worse than DeBlasio

Absolutely disgusting!

Noncitizens should Not be allowed to vote ; why change the election laws now? People before came over and studied to become citizens and followed the pathway. No other country allows border crossing and to alter the future vote .

Such a disgrace.

What a bunch of BS!

Oh shit! 😳😲

Huh?

Lmao all the racists getting pissed about this one 😂

Whoever permits this and calls it a law is a traitor to the United States and our Constitution.

One less reason to become a citizen.

That’s where it crosses the line.

Against the Constitution the law of the land 🤬🤬 don't care if it's just local should not be allowed. Dreamers are here long enough to become citizens ❗❗

Idiotas !

What the actual F?! Well, Cali is already doing it 🤷🏻‍♂️ insane

If they are legal residents and paying taxes, why can’t they have a say in how things are run?

Send them home

And that’s how the democrats stay alive …

Did y'all intentionally leave that it's for local elections out of your headline, or are you incompetent? We don't need a response. We know.

“would allow noncitizens who have been lawful permanent residents of the city for at least 30 days, as well as those authorized to work in the U.S., including 'Dreamers,' to help select the city's mayor, city council members, borough presidents, comptroller and public advocate.”

I’m not informed about this issue but from the little I know this is something I would not support, even at the municipal level.

I agree on voting rights but disagree on this one

The 'blue guarantee' for years and years to come!

Why?

the title of this is designed to stir controversy

Just a joke

totally agree with municipal elections but not in state or federal and it’s not that hard to prove anything lol

yea well international billionaires buy our media and politicians anyway, at least a Dreamer is an educated future American

in local elections only

Well that’s bullshit
