Because immigration and naturalization is the jurisdiction of the federal government and if you want to participate politically at that level then it’s reasonable to set a citizenship requirement.
This claim is nonsensical. There is nothing in H.R. 1 that would enable people who are not citizens to vote.
What H.R. 1 addresses is the widespread suppression of votes that has become a Republican tactic to maintain electoral dominance, as demonstrated in the last year in Georgia, Kansas and Texas.
And to drag John Lewis into this as the bad guy – back when he was being beaten up in the struggle to allow African-American citizens to vote the same factions in our society called him a bad guy then. Some things never change.
So when the granting of additional rights is proposed then we can join together to oppose it. Right now, you are saying you are opposed to H.R. 1 because you have a fantasy that something bad might happen in the future.
It makes perfect sense. If the green card holder’s card is current, he’s here legally. If it expires and not renewed, until it happens, that individual is here illegally.
