Yes, if you are not a citizen you shouldn't be able to vote.

Considering it is being made available for the new illegal aliens to vote this election, u should be able to vote.
You have lived here 22 years, payed taxes and have earned the right.
The new illegals should not.
I am not saying you are illegal.
I think you should have the right to vote!
Lots of citizens who voted in 2000 - votes did not count- mostly jews and blacks---the votes were not counted in Florida which created the mess we have been in since 2000. In 2004 voting machines were used in Ohio---the mayor was already bragging days ahead-Bush has the state of Ohio. It turned out the state of Ohio was the deciding vote in the end.
Getting to vote is not always a great thing--it seems since 2000 there has been a lot of cheating!

If you really want to vote you should get your citizenship. I could not vote for the first five years because I was not a citizen though I did pay taxes because I benefited from most other things a legal resident with a green card benefits from; roads, schools, police.

A lot of things don't make sense. I knew a guy who grew up in the U.S. because his father worked for the Canadian embassy. When he was a grown man, the immigration people came into the place he worked and told him he'd have to leave the country. He never did master the local accent where he ended up.
Now look at all the hoopla about Mexicans. It's crazy. Who invited Columbus?

First off, thank you for paying taxes when most of the people that come here from other countries do not. After 22yrs, I guess it is safe to say that you support the U.S.? If so, thanks again. Now, as far as voting, like the last person said "if you are not a citizen then no you can't." I hope that you don't take offense to anything, that was not my intention.

Not being able to vote make sense.
What not making sense is you and people hoding Green Cards pay social security tax, but cannot get social security benefit.

If you want to vote, become a citizen. That's the way it is done. And that is a good thing. A very good thing.

No taxation without representation! Sounds like you need to throw a tea party. Is there a harbor nearby?

It's because they have reason to believe that you are liberal and that could mean you could vote against them (basically for the same reason it is hard for blacks and other minorities to vote).
