City pleads: Let illegals vote in elections!
‘We want to make sure all immigrants here have a say’
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is seeking to grant illegal aliens the right to vote in school-board elections if the illegals’ children attend taxpayer-funded schools.
San Francisco Board of Supervisors President David Chiu introduced proposed charter amendment 100635 on May 18. The amendment may be added to the Nov. 2 ballot if at least six spuervisors vote for the legislation.
“One out of three parents of the kids in our public-school system is an immigrant,” Chiu told CBS. “We want to make sure that they have an opportunity to have a say.”
When a reporter asked Chiu whether it would concern him if illegal aliens vote, he responded, “What we don’t want to do is turn our elections department into INS agents. That was an administrative situation that we wanted to avoid. Again, what we wanted to do is empower all parents and give them a voice in their kids’ education.”
“Even the ones that are here without documents?” the reporter inquired.
“We want to make sure all immigrants here have a say,” Chiu replied.
