A growing number of Chinese nationals, trying to escape repressive politics and a bleak economy, are headed to the U.S. They’re turning to a gap at the south...

Please watch the entire video before commenting.

The take away, in my opinion, was much less about the Chinese migrants than it was the story of the specific location they were coming through and how and why the process of legal immigration is broken. It seems so, so easy to fix this problem but it’s clear “the border” is being used as a political pawn to divide us for political gain.

    Non-citizen cannot legally vote in federal elections, but the source you provided gives examples of states allowing voting by non-citizens.

    "As of June 2023, the District of Columbia and municipalities in three states allowed noncitizens to vote in some or all local elections: California, Maryland, and Vermont. "

      Er…

      So, you’re talking about local elections. Meaning nothing beyond like, mayoral voting.

      And you think democrats are chomping at the bit for these three states and one territory to have their mayors be democrats?

      They’re like “Yes, yes, more illegal immigrants in Texas, Florida, New York and Wisconsin! They will help us get elected!”

      C’mon.
