Unfortunately, we can now add that distinction to history\u2019s trash heap thanks to the far left\u2019s war on the nation\u2019s culture and legal systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The decision by New York\u2019s City Council to allow more than 800,000 noncitizen immigrants to vote in municipal elections is a watershed moment for the left\u2019s goal of erasing standards and merit in American life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the compact between rights and responsibilities is severed, with only the rights remaining to the immigrants who are relieved of any responsibilities to the city and the other 8 million inhabitants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_30_days_OK\"><\/span>Here 30 days?

In either case, they can vote starting next January after living in New York for as few as 30 consecutive days.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, 30 days, which is the equivalent of a drive-by vote from people who have sworn allegiance to another nation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is no logic or legal argument to this one-sided measure, only a desire to destroy a reciprocal relationship. Under the ever-flexible guise of \u201cequity,\u201d all distinctions are to be erased.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other examples of this new radicalism abound. The push to drop Gifted and Talented programs in public schools is designed to end any recognition of special ability and effort. As with participation trophies, all children are deemed equally gifted and talented, so there is no need to have selective programs or schools.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Undocumented.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande river illegally, tied together with handcuffs and sit on the ground after they were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrols in La Joya, Texas on March 28, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-20802214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Undocumented.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Undocumented.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Undocumented.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Migrants who recently hopped over the border just a month ago are eligible to vote in elections thanks to the City council.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Go Nakamura<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another front opened by the left was the goal of erasing the language that separates legal from illegal immigrants.

Bragg says he will not prosecute quality-of-life crimes and most property crimes, and would limit filing charges that could mean prison to murder, sexual assault and a few other cases involving violence.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the implications of the council\u2019s vote are so vast that they, too, constitute a change without precedent. For comparison, consider that the 800,000 added voters would be more than the 750,000 votes Eric Adams got in winning the mayoral election.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Alvin-Bragg-8.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg\" class=\"wp-image-20802212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Alvin-Bragg-8.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Alvin-Bragg-8.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/Alvin-Bragg-8.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s office plans on not prosecuting vagrant crimes such as robberies.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">G.N.

They cite language in the constitution that grants voting rights to \u201cevery citizen\u201d who is 18 or older.<\/p>\n<p>There are also practical problems. The council directed the Board of Elections to \u201cimplement this new system, which would include developing a new registration form specifically for municipal voters and giving them the opportunity to enroll in a political party so they can vote in local primary elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How that would work, and how the board would stop registered noncitizens from voting in state or national elections is unclear. One thing that is certain is that counting on the board to get a gigantic new responsibility right is a fool\u2019s errand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But maybe that\u2019s the whole point.
