标 题: 马里兰城市决定非法移民可以选举投票
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Sep 13 22:07:47 2017, 美东)
The Washington suburb of College Park, Md., on Tuesday became the largest U.
S. city to allow noncitizens to cast ballots in municipal elections after a
divided City Council vote that reflected the nation’s heated and emotional
debate over illegal immigration.
Unlike most other states, Maryland allows towns and cities to decide for
themselves who can vote in local elections. In recent years, Hyattsville,
Mount Rainier, Takoma Park and several smaller towns have extended that
privilege to noncitizens. College Park, home to about 32,000 and the
University of Maryland’s flagship campus, will join them starting in 2019.
The decision to allow undocumented immigrants, student visa holders and
residents with green cards to vote comes eight months into a crackdown on
illegal immigration by President Trump and one week after his administration
said it will wind down a deportation-relief program for young immigrants
brought here as children. Council members and activists who supported the
measure said it would send a message that College Park is a welcoming
community for all residents, regardless of legal status.
