John DeStefano, the mayor of New Haven, Connecticut who lost a discrimination case in the Supreme Court, is planning to ask the state legislature to allow illegal immigrants to vote in city municipal elections.

This isn’t the first bit of craziness coming out of New Haven, according to NBC Connecticut:

New Haven made national headlines in 2007 when the city approved a program that provides municipal identification cards for all residents — including illegal immigrants — to provide access to services such as banking and the library.

Here’s the fundamental problem with allowing this to happen: it undermines American sovereignty. By creating exceptions to our laws, we no longer have sovereign control of our nation. This is especially true when we afford voting rights to non-citizens.

If you think this is as absurd as I and many others do, then please exercise your right to petition Mayor DeStefano to not ask his legislature to do this by e-mailing him at

MayorDeStefano@newhavenct.net

 or Tweeting him here. Or give a rating of his office on Google Maps.
