#1 Err, allowing foreigners to vote isn't it a bit unconstitutional? True, governments sometimes do things who are not entirely legal but I never heard of something so blatant and in your face. What's next arguing against rules (1) to prevent dead from voting?

(1) I know, know. I am speaking not of dead Democratic voters but of making it legal.

#2 Don't forget the convicted felons; they have rights, too!

#3 There are arguments in favor of felons voting once sentence is completed. (The debt paid, the books wiped clean.)

There aren't any arguments in favor of illegals voting. Citizens vote. Non-citizens, legal or illegal, don't.

#4 In France some offences carry "X years of deprivation of civical rights" ie you cannot vote or be elected. Don't you have the same in America?

#5 At one time felonies were mostly capital offenses. Dead men didn't vote (that came later). Same reason felons aren't allowed to 'bear arms'. So if they give felons the right to vote back, can they also get a gun permit too?

#6 And imaginary friends too! They have RIGHTS!

(Imaginary rights but rights just the same...).

#7 Kansas can allow anyone to vote it wants to; it just can't stop certain people or groups from voting. Illegal - or even legal - immigrants are not supposed to be one of those protected groups.

#8 Eroding voting integrity is eroding the integrity of our system, which plays into dictators hands.
