And Why?

Only after becoming a natura lized citizen.Why you ask,if they are just a visitor or non citizen,it is none of their business to get involved in our politics. I live part time overseas and I am very careful not to give my unwanted and undeserved opinion about the way the goverment is run over here.

The immigrants move to a country should be given the right to vote once they are accepted and treated as immigrants by the government of that country even if they have not yet obtained citizenship
because
it will create a sense of belonging within them as they have for their mother countries where they can express their opinions through their votes.
It will, no way, have bad impact on the politics of the country. It will, rather, help the peace and religious as well as cultural harmony to prevail.

If a person becomes a citizen of that country then all the rights that go with citizenship should be bestowed upon them. Citizenship is not free and has to be earned. To just come into a country and assume you are a citizen because of geography is not right. In th USA We pay a price for freedom and the right of citizenship should not be taken lightly. Regardless of what the rest of the world thinks, throghout history we have always fought for our freedom and the right to have that freedom and way of life. It should not just be given away. Alot of people are going through the immigration process to become citizens and should be proud of what they are doing and their achievements. I respect them and wish them the best.

No its not there country and they have no right to vote its up to the people that live there and have severed there country to vote
why should they have a right to vote its not fair and it would make the country worse as they would vote for silly things that would make there life a lot easyer and sine there is so much of them they will win all the time so No they should not vote

No, not unless they are citizens of said country. Voting is a "right", bestowed upon the citizens of the country and unless they've earnd the right, by becomming a citizen, they have no right to vote.

I think we should be able to. I am a permanent resident of the USA. I dont want to become a citizen because i am proud of who i am and where i come from. Since my hubby is in the US army certain politic decisions affect me quite a bit. I think as long as someone is a LEGAL immigrant let them vote.

Students, people on work visas............no, they arent permanent residents. Once anyone becomes a legal citizen, then, yes.......those people enjoy all rights of citizenship.
