Democratic-run cities are exploiting loopholes to allow illegal immigrants to vote, violating the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution establishes that voting rights are reserved for citizens, ensuring the United States remains a constitutional republic, not a democracy where the majority alone rules. Cities like New York and San Francisco have passed laws granting noncitizens voting rights in local elections, laying the groundwork for broader influence on national outcomes.

Undermining the Constitutional Republic

The U.S. is a constitutional republic, where the rule of law governs the nation, protecting the rights of all citizens against the tyranny of the majority. Allowing noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote undermines the principle that only citizens have the right to influence governance. Yet, Democratic cities are pushing for noncitizen voting, challenging this foundation. For example, New York City’s law allows more than 800,000 noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in local elections, creating a dangerous precedent.

Open Borders: A Long-Term Strategy for Power?

Since President Biden took office, over 7 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border, many settling in key battleground states like Arizona and Pennsylvania. These states could be pivotal in the 2024 election. By allowing illegal immigrants to vote in local elections, Democrats could tip the scales in their favor. This influx of noncitizen voters could influence not just local elections but, eventually, state and national elections, giving Democrats a significant advantage in the popular vote.

While winning the popular vote may boost Democratic morale, it's important to remember that the U.S. presidential election is decided by the Electoral College, which ensures that states with smaller populations still have a significant role in the outcome. A president can win the popular vote but still lose the election if they fail to secure enough electoral votes, as seen in 2000 and 2016.

Local Elections Today, National Elections Tomorrow?

While Democrats claim that allowing illegal immigrants to vote is limited to local elections, this move sets a dangerous precedent. Voting is the most important right and responsibility of citizens in a constitutional republic, and extending that right to noncitizens could lead to broader implications, including national elections. Once noncitizens can vote in any election, the pressure to extend these rights to state and federal levels will undoubtedly grow.

Protecting the Constitutional Republic

Allowing illegal immigrants to vote undermines the very foundation of America’s constitutional republic. The U.S. system is designed to protect the rights of its citizens, ensuring that the rule of law prevails and that voting is reserved for those who are legally part of the American polity. Open borders and efforts to expand voting rights to noncitizens are part of a broader strategy that threatens to reshape the political landscape and erode the integrity of the U.S. electoral system.

The Electoral College: A Key Safeguard

Even if Democrats succeed in pushing noncitizen voting at local levels, the Electoral College serves as a crucial safeguard in protecting the constitutional republic. While it may be possible to win the popular vote by broadening the voter base with illegal immigrants, winning the presidency requires securing the electoral votes of key states. The Electoral College was created to balance the interests of populous and less-populated states, ensuring that the nation is governed by the collective will of the states, not just the majority.

Conclusion: Defending the Integrity of Our Elections

As the 2024 election approaches, the push to allow illegal immigrants to vote poses a direct threat to the U.S. Constitution and the principles of the constitutional republic. Open borders and noncitizen voting laws are more than a challenge to fairness; they represent a deliberate political maneuver to reshape the electoral landscape in favor of one party. Conservatives must fight to uphold the integrity of U.S. elections and ensure that voting remains a right reserved for citizens, as the framers of the Constitution intended.
