The end of American citizenship

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 21, 2004 04:06 PM

Joanne Jacobs notes a move by San Francisco officials to put an initiative on the state ballot to let non-citizen parents of public schoolchildren vote in school elections:

I’d bet the majority of non-citizen immigrants won’t bother to vote if it becomes possible. After all, most citizens don’t bother to vote in local elections. I also worry about extending the rights of citizenship — and voting is the biggie — to people who haven’t made that commitment.

Alas, this ship has already sailed. Not only are non-citizens voting in local elections here in my home state of Maryland and elsewhere, but they’re serving on juries, too!

And getting driver’s licenses.
And securing home loans.
And paying taxes.
And serving in the military. (Thanks for the reminder, Laurence Simon!)
And…

Update: If you feel like e-mailing the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on this small matter of the evisceration of American citizenship, address your rant to chief nutball/president of the board Matt Gonzalez at Matt.Gonzalez@sfgov.org.
