“You shall build a house, but you will not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but you will not use its fruit.” Deuteronomy 28:30(b) (NASB95).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

The capital city of the United States of America has now joined jurisdictions in at least five states across the country in allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections.

Five states allow noncitizen voting in local elections for municipal offices or school board. Those states are California, Illinois, Maryland, New York and Vermont. Now, D.C. joins them.

When foreign nationals who have no stake in our nation’s future are allowed to vote, it undermines the importance of citizenship.

It’s almost as if that’s the true goal.
