Boston considers allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in local elections: report

Officials in Boston are considering allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections, according to The Associated Press.

The City Council’s Committee on Government Operations is scheduled to hold a hearing Tuesday to discuss allowing immigrant residents with legal status in the United States to participate in municipal elections.

“The purpose of our local government, including the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Advancement, is to strengthen the ability of diverse, cultural, and linguistic communities to play an active role in the economic, civic, social and cultural life of the City of Boston,” City Council President Andrea Campbell, who requested the hearing, said earlier this year, according to local ABC affiliate WCVB.

The city is reportedly exploring methods that will make its local election more inclusive by allowing participation by legal permanent residents, visa holders and residents who are legally residing in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Immigrant residents account for almost 28.5% of the city’s population, according to Campbell. A spending report from 2015 said immigrant residents in the city have paid $116 million in state and local taxes and generated about $3.4 billion in spending.

Boston isn’t a city, it’s a hotel for college students, illegals, and foreign-born folks (who are in very large part America-hating scum).

The bitches in Massachusetts just passed the most draconian gun law yet and had their cuckold white male governor sign it.

Now any spoiled child or angry spouse can simply say “He’s a danger. Take his guns!” and it’s done on the spot INSTANTLY. The taking of your guns will be about as “temporary” and the “temporary toll” on the Massachusetts Turnpike that has been around since the 1960s.

Attacker shooting at, stabbing or seriously beating or you with a club or raping someone.

Confronted by unarmed cop who demands “Sir! would you please stop killing that man! And I mean it, it’s the law so please quit this instant!”.

Wonder why the cops in countries that don’t arm them run away so often? As they so often do in “no go” zones?

The city is reportedly exploring methods that will make its local election more inclusive by allowing participation by legal permanent residents

Translation: The city is actually finding creative methods to fuck the US citizens that live in Boston.

A spending report from 2015 said immigrant residents in the city have paid $116 million in state and local taxes and generated about $3.4 billion in spending.

Population of Boston: 675,000 * 28.5% = 178,00
Taxes paid: $116,000,000 / 178,000 = $651 an immigrant

Well, if they spent $3.4 billion they must have gotten that money from somewhere. Welfare?

$116,000,000 / 3,400,000,000 = 3.5% tax. I wish I could pay only 3.5% tax.

There is going to be a second civil war.

They’re obviously counting the entire Boston metro area- if not all of Suffolk county.

While some suburbs like Cambridge, Jewton, and Brookline are worse than most liberal hellholes, a few towns in their included metro area may resist this.

They left out the part where they each spent the $651 on lottery tickets.

Suffrage is suffering, typically by insufferables, projected. Parliamentary procedural whores. & pimps. & gi johns. & “citizens” – from wherever. Assume the specified positions. Distracts hell outta’ the dolts, too. Boston wants to add more cream to skim to the byebye ‘murican pie? Who cares.

Just say no saith them that know. Whilstwhile wraiths just blow, & blow, & blow.

The shot heard round the world. What goes, comes. Better late than never, Metastachussetts. Not that never was ever an option – even the most manifest density do erode. Hot lead – a neurotoxin – & baked beans.

There was another headline today. “A nation built on lies.” The two nouns are synonyms. And the verb should be antonym, so misspelled, if not mischaracterized. Anti-built. Like anti-matter. Planned obsolescence is the reflex even when it ain’t the plan. $ to me mulcted in blowing shit up, designing shit to blow up, replacing it. Make”work.” Luke, what’s your dirt doin’ in Boss Kean’s ditch? That ol’ Luke was a natchr’l born world-shaker. Lots of the shook & shaked loved him. & hated him even more. Homo perversians, pogo possums, gotta’ be what they is. Mars(god o’ war)upials.

I didn’t forget.

Maybe they could collect absentee ballots from people in the Mideast that want to emigrate to the U.S.? What about overcrowded India? Bring in 5 or 10 million of those American patriots to vote with the dimbulbs.

Sounds right, and do you have to be a citizen to run?
Might as well go full Open Boarders, anyone can vote,anyone can run, right?
But I wonder….
If we have full blown Open Boarders, what makes it Boston, or Massachusets, without boarders?
Wont it just be Everytown in Everywhere, why would anyone need to vote? What would be the purpose of voting without boarders, where would the laws,edicts, and budgets apply without jurisdiction defined by boarders?
I confuse easily.
