At a local, municipal level, where a city or a town may have a large number of non-citizen residents, who may very well, for example, pay property taxes and may have children attending local schools that are funded by those taxes, I see a reasonable argument that would allow them to cast ballots in local municipal elections where the people who decide HOW those property taxes are spent and HOW those schools are administered are elected. To not allow them to have a voice in how their tax dollars are spent is nothing less than taxation without representation, and, we, as Americans should be empathetic to that.
…..non-citizens who pay taxes, …..what are they doing here???
