NYC Begs Supreme Court to Allow Over 800,000
Illegal Immigrants to Vote

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 3/28/2024 2:50:26 AM

The New York City council is asking the state’s Supreme Court to allow illegal immigrants to vote in the city’s municipal elections. In 2021, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a law that would have allowed 800,000 non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work permits to vote as long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days. However, the controversial law was struck down last month by an appellate court.

NYC citizens - you get for what you voted. Allowing illegals to vote is what you get. Freebies for illegals is what you get. Crime by illegals is what you get. And for the legal citizens, you get nada, nothing, not a thing. The irony is not lost.

Who would have thunk it? In reality, if the New York Supreme Court goes along with the leftist and socialist Democrats they will be essentially giving a nod to every foreign non US Citizen person who has been in New York City for a month to vote, as non-citizens with so-called “green cards” are legal immigrants allowed to live and work in the USA as long as they abide by all US laws and are still citizens of other countries. When it comes to aliens with “visas” that would encompass all aliens who were allowed to enter the USA for specific periods of time such as tourists, foreign students and even foreigners employed by the UN, and all other so-called temporary “visa holders” who have violated the terms of admission to the USA by overstaying and essentially joining the vast illegal alien population that exists throughout the USA. When it comes to aliens who have permission from the Biden crew to work in the USA, these days, that encompasses just about all the millions of illegal aliens who Biden and his crew have been allowing by misusing the parole provisions contained in the immigration laws, to unlawfully enter and stay in the USA indefinitely. Being done under that Biden and Democrat false guise that essentially amounts to the assumption just about all of the billions of Third World origin aliens may be eligible for asylum in the USA and should be allowed to gain entry to the USA in unlimited numbers to state their individual cases through the US immigration courts. In accordance with those phony and ridiculous partisan politically based Biden policies cover just about every one of the billions of Third World origin people who show up at the US borders. In reality the vast majority of aliens in New York City, a big percentage of who are paid “under the table” so to speak, do not earn enough in wages to have any or very much of any tax liability, and are in reality poor, uneducated, with a good percentage of them being social welfare dependent people. In reality creating tens of millions of future leftist and socialist Democrat support and voter constituencies, most of them to be populated by foreign origin people who the Democrats consider to be minority group members by the tens of millions, is the primary reason that Biden created his “open borders” and “catch and release” anti-immigration law enforcement partisan Democrat political policies in the first place. It why they have been flooding the USA with mostly Third World origin illegal aliens, with plans to legalize the entire illegal alien population in the USA that easily exceeds twenty million mostly all poor and uneducated people, the vast majority of who the leftist and socialist Democrats plan to legalize by way of future Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties and other legalization programs, that the leftist and socialist Democrats and their activists and operatives believe they can easily use as a tool to then transition that legalized foreign origin population into becoming future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters, thus permanently changing the US political population demographics to their political favor, in order to keep the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political power, controlling the Congress and the Presidency, and on the State level the State legislatures, and the local governments in the big Democrat run sanctuary cities throughout the country. In that respect if the New York Supreme Court allows aliens to vote in local New York City elections, the next step for the Democrats is to push for aliens to be allowed to vote in statewide elections in the State of New York and other States. So you should be able to see where this is going! As it is clear that the final objective of the leftist and socialist Democrats is to transform today’s USA, that was formed and that exists under a Federal Constitution designed and established in keeping with mostly British and European Common Law legal traditions up to today, into a new “woke” so to speak socialist utopia.

Under no circumstances should non-citizens be allowed to vote. However, "green cards, visas, and work permits" confer a legal right to live and work in the city. Not all non-citizens are illegal aliens. Is the City Council arguing that *anyone* who has resided in the city for 30 days should be permitted to vote including those who have no legal right to be there?

According to Census Bureau estimates, from 2020 through the end of 2023, New York lost a net population of 884,000 residents to other states. So they should have plenty of room for illegal aliens to move in. Texas really needs to step up their shipments of illegals to New York to help fill the gap.

History shows that very few illegal aliens legitimately pay taxes. Most do not pay any taxes, other than sales taxes that they can’t avoid. Usually when illegal aliens must file federal and state income tax returns because their taxes have been withheld, to get those withheld tax money refunded to them, they “jack up” their returns, by claiming an excessive number of dependents who either do not exist, or are said to be in their home country, the correct number of who, if any, cannot be verified.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which is responsible for handling the country's spy apparatus, seeks to ban a range of common terms because it says they offend Muslims and foment racism against employees. In addition to terms describing Islamic terrorists, ODNI instructs employees to avoid phrases such as "blacklisted," "cakewalk," "brown bag," "grandfathered," and "sanity check."

Claim: Comedian Jon Stewart said this week that the loans at the center of the civil real-estate case against Donald Trump meant there were fewer loans available to other borrowers. “Money isn’t infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn’t go to someone who’s giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivized for corruption,” Stewart said. Verdict: False. The amount of money available for loans from banks is not diminished when banks make loans to other customers, except in the rare case of a distressed bank that is capital-constrained. A loan to one customer does not subtract from a fixed pool of loans

The reconstruction efforts, however, may be complicated by demands that the project further leftwing ideas about racial justice, the treatment of immigrants, climate change, and wealth redistribution. An op-ed in The Hill underscores that some of these demands may be irreconcilable.

Despite mail-in voting and ballot harvesting and a host of other perfectly legal ways to tilt the playing field, could Old Joe Biden actually lose in November? If a Tuesday New York Times story is to be believed, the answer is a resounding yes, and among the most worried is the senescent corruptocrat’s old friend and mentor, Barack Obama. “Old friend and mentor,” as is well known, is largely an image manufactured for public consumption.
