Breitbart: The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on a resolution offered by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy that admonishes U.S. cities for allowing illegal aliens to vote in local elections, as has been confirmed to Breitbart News exclusively.
The measure, which Democrats are expected to oppose, in two pages states that it is the position of the House of Representatives that allowing illegal aliens the right to vote disenfranchises American citizens.
The House resolution text introduced by McCarthy says:
Recognizing that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens. Whereas voting is fundamental to a functioning democracy; Whereas the Constitution prohibits discrimination in voting based on race, sex, poll taxes, and age; Whereas it is of paramount importance that the United States maintains the legitimacy of its elections and protects them from interference, including interference from foreign threats and illegal voting; Whereas the Constitution allows States and localities to grant non-citizens the right to vote in non-Federal elections; Whereas the city of San Francisco, California, is allowing non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to register to vote in school board elections; and Whereas Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in elections for Federal office: Now, therefore, be it 1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote de3 values the franchise and diminishes the voting power of 4 United States citizens.
The House vote is set to come next week, ahead of the all-important midterm elections. It comes after a number of cities, particularly San Francisco but also Chicago, a number of Boston suburbs including Cambridge, and others, have opened up local voting rights to illegal aliens–effectively disenfranchising American citizens who vote in these elections by diluting their voices with voices of people who entered the country illegally. more
“Admonishes”?! What?! Is our congress now reduced to legislating sternly-worded warnings instead of enforceable law?
ADMONISH??? I prefer a firing squad.
@AA – my thoughts exactly. (And sorry, I accidentally thumbed up my own post)
Why the f*** do we have to talk people into this sh**, get on the defensive and try to persuade anybody to follow the f***ing LAW??? And with an ADMONISHMENT? Are you f***ing kidding me?????
Abigail Adams kind of stole my thunder. What does it matter if Congress admonishes those states? If you want to impress me, make it a federal crime.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE HAVE TO GET THESE A-HOLES OUT OF OFFICE.
More election year posturing by the GOP. I thought Jeffy was getting tough on these cities already. No?
Oh no, not admonishment!
They admonished Hillary, too.
Break the law, encourage corruption of the electoral process, receive admonishment. Wow, not even a sternly worded letter.
Congress has become the weakest branch of our federal government.
Way to go McCarthy. If McCarthy becomes speaker, expect more RINO Bullshit, no laws, no prosecutions and weak admonishment for law breakers.
It’s obvious from the comments here that the people see right through this. Is There NOBODY in congress who thought maybe this was stupid?
Will it go on their Permanent Records?
WTH Next? a Spanking?
McCarthy is Paul Ryan’s protege for Speaker of the House. We need to run him out of office fast.
