0:00.0 | Over the past several months, there have been many stories about local jurisdictions |
0:04.1 | allowing non-citizens to vote in certain circumstances. Typically, it was school board meetings or |
0:09.6 | school affairs, where they wanted to give non-citizens a say in how their children were being taught |
0:14.8 | or how the institution was being run. Still, many people on the right found this rather outrageous |
0:19.7 | because you're letting non-citizens and yes, even illegal immigrants have a say in a publicly |
0:24.4 | funded institution. Well, just the other day, House Democrats at the federal level voted to |
0:29.9 | protect local jurisdictions that will allow non-citizens to vote. Dan Krenchoff spoke out against |
0:35.4 | this proposing a resolution to say only US citizens can vote in elections, but the Democrats did not |

1:21.8 | The first story from the Washington Times House votes in favor of illegal immigrant voting. |
1:27.5 | House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their |
1:32.4 | elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice. The vote marks a stunning reversal |
1:37.7 | from just six months ago when the Chamber then under GOP control voted to decry illegal immigrant voting. |
1:43.7 | We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in. |
