A foreigner is defined a person who is not a citizen of the United States. Federal law has prohibited noncitizens from voting in federal election since the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act was passed in 1996.

It's as easy as this. If you are a legal citizen of the Unites States - whether you are White, Black, Asian, Mexican, Hmong, ETC - you should be eligible to vote.
But if you are illegal - whether you are White, Black, Asian, Mexican, Hmong, ETC - you should not be able to vote.

Everyone regardless of who they are have the right to vote!
@9DBJLCG1yr1Y
If you pay taxes, you should have the right to vote

That would open the doors to so many terrorist. They would also vote for anything to do with getting money from the government since there not from here there not going to care about what happens with the economy here.
