Thanks for correcting my spelling Frau...I attempted to correct the title but only a mod can do that

To further elaborate on the 10's of thousands of immagrants in the country illegally also cannot participate in democracy amongst other things. Amnisty would make them 'instant citizens' and voters indebted and greatfull for their new found citizenship.

Really?? I thought you were talking about felons. Why would illegals get instant citizenship? And the right to vote?

Well, we're already going to be a Latin American country in 100 years, I guess this would accelerate it. If true.

Pah, that is nothing.

In Britain they run a campaign, "give your vote", where British citizens with the right to vote are called to pass on their right and give their voting right to foreigners in foreign countries, preferrably Afghanistan, Ghana and what was the third one? Iraq? That way foreign people should get a chance and feel invited to vote for the British parliament on the other side of the planet. It makes them participating in the democractic process in good ol' damn insane totally crazy Britain.

It makes the Gutmenschen feel well to have demonstrated their own good willingness, kindness and good-heartedness that way. Now isn't that lovely. I'm moved and touched at the bottom of my heart. Stop it or I must cry.

The simple answer is Yes. After the U.S beat Mexico in the Mexican American war we firmly booted all Mexican Nationals right across the newly established border. The when we later bought more land off of Mexico we did the same.

Back then it was common to fill America with Anglo-Saxon stock. I mean if we put the native Americans on reservations what makes you believe that Mexican nationals would be roaming freely?

That was a poison pill the dems put into the bill. I don't know why that wasn't vetoed

It wasn't vetoed because Republican politicians don't really care about the issue any more than democrat ones do.
The supporterrs of the parties may make all the noise they like but the politicians know the reality.

The simple answer is Yes. After the U.S beat Mexico in the Mexican American war we firmly booted all Mexican Nationals right across the newly established border.

Bloody hell.
So was this Mexican-American war where the treaty ending it gave the option of citizenship to the mexicans on the new territory as well as recogning land ownership of mexicans or is it some fictional war you invented?

The when we later bought more land off of Mexico we did the same.

At least that is correct, under various treaties and protocols the mexicans got pretty much the same treatment under the purchases as they got after the war.....though of course Freiwillige doesn't know about those real events and got it backwards.

Whats amazingly stupid about such a "project" is that there is no safeguard. Ok - so you want to "give your vote" to someone in Ghana. All it takes is one of the "Egalitarians" to decide that all the votes were to go for a specific party - and suddenly you have a single entity controlling the votes of who knows how many.

Whats amazing about that statement is that with the process they have over in Britain, if someone from the "egalitarian" idiots were to decide all the votes were to go to one party and could manage to pull it off they would have a handfull of votes spread throughout hundreds of constituancies which would count for nothing even if they could find a "marxist" party in any of those constituancies to vote for.

Yes Skybird but you didn't not indicate it was anything official.

When I first read it I thought you were mentioning some government initiative. TBH I think it is inconsequential as few will know about it and even fewer will care.
