There are very few
jurisdictions in the United States that allow non-citizens to vote; one up the street here in
Takoma Park, but this has not been the rule of the United States. Why not a right to vote?
If we believe that taxation without representation is wrong for permanent settled
immigrants, why not a right to vote?
Even the issue of citizenship is an interesting issue when…judge for the rights of noncitizens.
We have a very broad citizenship rule in this country, that anyone born in the
United States is a citizen of the United States. And that includes children of
undocumented immigrants. But there have been bills introduced in Congress, both
statutory and for constitutional amendments, to restrict that right of citizenship for the
children of undocumented immigrants.
So, we’ll touch on some of these issues, just to give you a sense of the breadth. And we’ll
also talk about efforts that will expand the rights of immigrants. So, for example,
legalization proposals currently pending in Congress that would bring status to millions
of undocumented immigrants would obviously have a dramatic impact on extending
rights to immigrants.
Labor rights, the protection of temporary workers in the United States; there have been
proposals for large-scale temporary worker programs. So what kinds of rights should
accompany those worker programs as well?

It’s incorrect to say that immigrants have no rights in the United States.
