Poll question: Consent of the Governed and Taxation Without Representation

Supposedly two very important concepts to this nation's founding. Concepts worth fighting for.

Yet millions of undocumented workers are hounded by those who exploit them for "not paying into the system" and they are subject to laws to which they have no voice to consent.

Should immigrants who intend to make the US their permanent home be given the right to vote BEFORE they become full-fledged citizens?

1. Should college students be given the diploma before the finish college.

If they intend to become college graduates, why make them wait?

because not it's not so much.

Where immigrants are concerned, I'm of the opinion if they want to come here to live they should be allowed to do so, and should be afforded all the Rights and Privileges of any other denizen.
