No way in hell.

Imagine this coming Tuesday, when we all go out to the polls for the off year election. Picture yourself going in, casting your votes, and coming out and seeing some guy from who-knows-where, going in behind you. You might think it's nothing at first-Americans are from all over, right?

Then it turns out this guy isn't a citizen after all, and his one vote turned the tables on the election results in your entire area.

You'd be pretty miffed, right? I mean, it's a citizen's right to vote. But this scenario may not be as far away from reality as we think:

As the daughter of a naturalized citizen, I consider this a slap in her face, as well as mine. The thought that all the effort my mother put into gaining her rights to vote was for nothing? It's sickening.

I understand people want to have a say in what's going on, and I am glad they want to get involved. But if we just let anyone vote, the next thing you know, people with interests invested in OTHER countries will be coming in and voting America into its own oblivion. If just anyone could vote there would be absolute anarchy. I for one do not intend to let my rights be taken away from me like that. I don't go to France or Japan and screw around with their affairs, why would I let someone from Italy or Pakistan screw around in mine?

My mum went through the citizenship program to gain her right to vote. Citizenship programs welcome immigrants into the American family and also give you a knowledge of and pride for your country, so you can make better decisions at the polls, no matter your political party. In fact, most people I know who are naturalized citizens value their citizenship and rights more than natural born citizens do!

To say my mum and the millions of others who earned their citizenship did it for nothing is an utter insult. And to let than insult slide, to let just anyone vote, would be nothing short of disastrous.

You might as well elect bin Laden for Congress.
