Subject: RE: BS: US Democracy 33% cannot vote !
the US Constitution is quite clear that only people born in the US or naturalised as US citizens are allowed to vote, which shows pretty clearly what the Founding Fathers thought about it.

Though perhaps what your Founding Fathers thought shouldn't be treated as holy writ - after all, they didn't think that black people born in the United States should have any right to vote, nor the original inhabitants of the country. Nor women, of course.
