Should Illegals Vote?

CT MAYOR WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE

New Haven Mayor John DeStefano will petition the Connecticut legislature to allow illegal immigrants to vote in municipal elections. According to local sources, about 10,000 foreign nationals live in the city. DeStefano claims that illegal aliens pay taxes through their rent payments and therefore should be able to vote.

New Haven has long been considered a ‘sanctuary city’ since it began issuing ID cards to illegal immigrants allowing them easier access to public services in 2007. If the measure should pass, New Haven will join Chicago and several towns in Maryland which allow foreign nationals to vote in municipal elections.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHARGED IN TX MIDDLE SCHOOL SHOOTING

Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputies arrested an illegal immigrant on Monday after a shooting at a local middle school left two students injured. According to Sheriff Lupe Trevino, stray bullets hit two teenage boys who were attending basketball tryouts. The suspect, who has only been identified as an illegal immigrant, was discovered in the woods just north of the school reportedly armed with an AR-15 assault rifle, which he was using to illegally hunt on private lands.

So far, the suspect has been charged with poaching, trespassing and illegal use of a firearm, but more charges could be forthcoming. The victims (ages 13 and 14) remain in stable condition.
