    San Francisco’s recent Proposition N, which voters passed 54 percent to 46 percent in 2016. The proposition allows particular undocumented immigrants (who are old enough and are the legal caretakers/parents of children in San Francisco under the age of 19) to vote in in School Board elections.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.2e64ed0b025c

    Several towns and cities in Maryland allow non-citizens to vote as well, with College Park becoming the largest U.S. municipality to let undocumented immigrants vote in municipal elections in 2017.

    And then there is this:

    "California has implemented a law providing for the automatic voter registration of motorists who obtain or renew driver's licenses, and critics contend that the law will make it easier for non-citizens to unlawfully vote."

    "In February 2016, California officials announced that more than 600,000 undocumented people were granted driver’s licenses in 2015 (the first year after AB 60 took effect)."

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ca...tor-voter-act/

    And then there is this:

    "Currently, 12 states and the District of Columbia allow noncitizens to obtain drivers licenses. Oftentimes, these illegal aliens are added to the voter rolls at the time they renew their drivers licenses without any attempt made on behalf of the government to verify their United States citizenship. Thus, this loophole in the system is part of the problem.

    Furthermore, there is no information pertaining to state and local elections. The United States code says absolutely nothing about the inability of noncitizens to vote in these elections. This means that it is left up to the states to decide whether illegal aliens can vote in these races. As of 1926, every state across the country has outlawed noncitizen voting in state elections, but the same has not been done for local elections.

    Proponents of noncitizen voting support places like San Francisco, College Park, and Cambridge, which are just a few of the many cities where noncitizens have the right to participate in American elections. These supporters argue that excluding the votes of illegal aliens on a state and national level is not constitutionally required by nor in line with historical norms, pushing for noncitizen voting across the country."

    Many thanks from the OP.

      This is old. The foundation for the economic downturn started long before GW Bush took office. There wasn't any fixing so to speak. Raiding the Treasury, handing out billions to cronies , running up the debt and printing money don't apply.

        You seem to have forgotten policies of a Democrats set the ball in motion.

        "In 1999 the Glass-Steagall Act-- which had separated commercial banking from investment banking for 66 years, was overturned-- a move that opened the door to more speculative trading on the part of Wall Street firms.

        Then, in 2000 Messrs. Greenspan, former Treasury Secretary (Robert) Rubin (Clinton administration) and his successor Lawrence Summers pressed to pass a bill that would prohibit the regulation of derivatives-- the fastest growing and most complicated and murky new financial product. This was an incredible mistake, as derivative contracts like mortgage backed bonds and credit default swaps mushroomed in across the globe without any oversight, strict capital requirements and on an organized exchange where buying and selling were handled daily. The result of this vacuum; no one anywhere knew who owed what to whom across the world. Despite the danger lurking in the rapid depreciation of these contracts."

        And then there was this:

        "The Department of Housing and Urban Development stipulated that 55 percent of the loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made had to go to borrowers at or below the median income level. And nearly half of these loans had to be to low-income borrowers. The Democratic chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Barney Frank, seems to have forgotten his assertion that he was willing to "roll the dice" on subsidized housing, denying there was any cause for concern. For the better part of a dec*ade, Fannie and Freddie were bringing on risky mortgages that loaded the dice heavily against the taxpayer.

        The disastrous subprime market was thus the creature not so much of Wall Street as of our political leaders, who created the subprime market by pressing banks to make riskier loans and then virtually compelling Fannie and Freddie to liquefy these toxic assets by putting more and more of them on their own balance sheets. Fannie and Freddie had been buying risky loans since 1993 to meet the "affordable housing" requirements established by Congress. No one in successive administrations effectively monitored the consequences, especially the workings of the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act, which was designed to make loans available in poorer communities. Obsessed by this political objective, Democrats would not support regulations suggested by the Republicans in the Senate Banking Committee in 2005 that would have established more auditing and oversight."

            Trump has added 50% to our debt in two years. The debt was declining in the last few years of Obama's administration. He spent to save the economy. Trump spent to save himself $ and his kids on inheritance taxes, as well as keep his corporate buddies happy. The blip he got from the bill was short lived and benefited very few Americans. We will all be paying the price of his tax cut for years and years.

                        If I want to past a writing test, I will spend more time on it. You are certainly not in a position to grade me.

                        Almost everything coming out of the mouths of the 2010 Democratic candidates is beyond absurd. It is frightening. Liz warren wants universal day care and universal childcare . Paid for by more taxes" on the rich " The Democrats and Big Government would like to raise the next generation of children for you. That's if they let them live.

                            I might give you the names of several books, but they have many . many sentences, and a whole bunch of pages to read through. I'm not sure you are capable. But you could start with the Community Reinvestment Act.

                                Fox News legal analyst Alan Dershowitz bluntly dispatched with Rep. Devin Nunes‘ (R-CA) much-derided $250 million Twitter lawsuit, saying the congressman has “no case at all” in the suit against the platform and users like “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”

                                On Wednesday morning’s edition of Fox News’ America’s Newsroom, co-anchor Sandra Smith asked Dershowitz about the lawsuit, and about Donald Trump‘s support for it.

                                She began by asking Dershowitz if Nunes has “a strong case?”

                                “He has no case at all,” Dershowitz said, adding that “it is wrong from a political and ideological point of view. If you don’t like what Twitter is doing, create an alternate company. If you don’t like what Facebook or any of the others are doing, the American way is competition. Look, a lot of people thought that the Democrats controlled the media, and along came Fox. Now you have two sides, you can watch Fox and you can watch other programs. That is the answer. The answer is to create competing media.”
