Everyone knows someone who is “like family.” Some neighbor or friend of the family who is thought of as an aunt or uncle, cousin or sibling, whatever, for a large period of their life. Then that person dies and everyone discovers that while they were “like family,” they structured their last will and testament to make sure all their earthly possessions go to their actual family. That’s the difference between “like” and actual. The New York Times ran an op-ed this week calling for people who consider themselves to be “like Americans” to be able to vote in our elections. No, not ever. Voting in the United States is and should always be reserved for people who are actual Americans, not those unwilling or unable to become such.

I’ve never heard of Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, and I’d bet you haven’t either. You have no reason to. She’s supposedly some sort of journalist, but anyone can claim to be that, and wrote a book no one read, which weirdly appears to have been “reviewed” in more left-wing outlets than copies were sold. Apparently now some kind of editor at the radical “The Nation,” Atossa was commissioned by the Times echo chamber to write a piece calling for non-citizens to vote in the US.

Entitled, “There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote,” it’s every bit as dumb as you’d expect. She writes, “Nearly 15 million people living legally in the United States, most of whom contribute as much as any natural-born American to this country’s civic, cultural and economic life, don’t have a say in matters of politics and policy because we — resident foreign nationals, or “aliens” as we are sometimes called — cannot vote.” Sure you can…in whatever country you’re actually a citizen of. If you want to vote, go back there. If you want to vote here, become a citizen.
