The 14th Amendment provides us with a clear definition of who may claim US Citizenship, its privileges, and rights...
SEE: U.S. Constitution - Fourteenth Amendment | Resources
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The RIGHT TO VOTE is limited to US Citizens... the right to vote is guaranteed to US CITIZENS by the 14th Amendment, Section 2... and the 15th Amendment.
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2
"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."
The 15th Amendment:
“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude”213. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation3.
Illegal aliens have no Constitutional right to vote....
The US Constitution applies only to We the People of the United States... not aliens ... legal or illegal. See the 'Preamble to the Constitution
Here: Preamble | Browse | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
The Preamble
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.".
The language of the Preamble LIMITS the rights and privileges of the US Constitution to the people of the United States (US Citizens), not some foreign nation or people.
Claims that illegal aliens may vote in Federal Elections are false and should be considered criminal acts... a violation of the civil rights of US citizens and voter fraud. The Illegal alien is not permitted Federal voting rights. Those here illegally have no constitutional rights and are not eligible to vote under the 14th Amendment. Any rights an illegal alien has are granted by statutory law and are conditional and revokable.
Allowing aliens... legal or illegal... to vote would abridge the privileges, and rights of citizens to the representation they elect with their vote... illegal alien votes are forms of voter and election fraud...
