No, Art Lewis, LA's proposal to allow non-citizens to vote is not "foot-in-the-door"
So this Tuesday, WSGW's Art Lewis had one of his "open phones" segments where disinformation runs rife. Toward the end of the second hour, he decided to mention an article titled "Noncitizen voting proposal stalls in LA", mentioning California as if it is a State issue and not a local issue and then questions if it's happening in New York (see a pattern there?).
Actually, there are only two cities in California that allow non-citizen voting for local issues (not federal) but the other states are Maryland and Vermont and the "non-state" District of Columbia. And, considering it can take up to 7 year to become a naturalized citizen, after the 2-3 years to be considered a lawful permanent resident, it is not unreasonable to want the non-citizen who is working on naturalization to feel invested in the community, one way which is to vote on local issues.
