Give me your poor, your tired, your non-citizens...

And we'll sign them up to be DFL voters:

Proposed constitutional amendment would allow non-citizens to vote

A constitutional amendment introduced Monday in the Minnesota House would allow non-citizen residents to vote in local elections, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has confirmed.

The ballot measure would read: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to allow local units of government to authorize permanent resident non-citizens to vote in local government elections?"

The bill is sponsored by all DFLers: Rep. Phyllis Khan, Minneapolis, Rep. Jim Davnie, Minneapolis, Rep. Carlos Mariani, St. Paul, and Rep. Frank Hornstein, Minneapolis.

More than half of 2008 voters would have to vote yes on the amendment for it to become part of the state's constitution. Illegal immigrants would not be permitted to vote under the measure.

The proposal comes after Take Action Minnesota's move to ask St. Paul city council candidates their opinions on a similar change in the city. Most legislators and the Governor have not yet expressed their opinions on this topic.

Now I don't know about you, but aren't you a bit curious as to what your legislators have to say?

I saw this story on the #5 earlier this evening, and I about fell out of my chair.

Phyllis Khan, of course, defended the measure, saying that it was no big deal that non-citizens would be able to vote, since it was already happening in some cities in Massachussets.

Just more proof of how democrats consider our Constitution a "living, breathing" document, malleable at their whim.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--it just ain't safe to vote democrat, folks.
