Sorry, can you explain how your rights are watered down by someone else having rights?
Citizens have a bunch of rights that permanent residents don’t have, from running for office to holding a passport, not being able to be deported, not having to maintain their status, being able to sponsor a wider range of family members, accessing more social programs and security clearance, etc. We’re not talking about changing any of those things. Hell, we’re barely talking about voting in terms of anything beyond municipal elections.
Why do you feel you have to trade something/get something to give someone else the right to vote in a municipal election?
