Assertion: "Citizen" is defined as a person owing loyalty to a state or nation. A citizen is entitled, by birth or naturalization, to the protection of said state or nation, and is further defined as someone who is entitled to vote.
Only U.S. citizens should be allowed to participate in American elections. If you want to vote, you must be able to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which may be accomplished by registering to vote and presenting a valid picture ID at the polling station.
Why This Is Important: When the voting process is compromised, a nation’s identity becomes diluted. In essence, shared values become corrupted when those who do not share those values are allowed to infiltrate and influence the election process. Therefore, only those who have an allegiance to America should have a say in deciding what is best for America. American citizens are uniquely prepared to make such decisions, as only they are fully and completely aware of the history and the traditions which have kept America free, safe and secure for over two hundred years.
Constitutional Basis: The Constitution contains numerous references to the rights of “citizens of the United States,” and four amendments deal directly with voting: The 15th, the 19th, the 24th, and the 26th Amendments declare that race, sex, wealth, or age will not be used to discriminate against “the right of citizens of the United States” to vote in U.S. elections. Visitors, tourists, temporary workers, migrant workers, guest workers and all other persons who are not U.S. citizens do not have the right to vote and may not vote in U.S. elections.
