Rule number three, I've been very open that I think we should drastically curtail the right to vote.
across the board.
You should have some actual stake in this country at a minimum if you want to vote.
There has to be some legacy you want to protect.
And we can't measure the stakes solely through property ownership, especially since foreigners, mainly from China, are buying a lot of our property.
We also can't measure the stakes solely through the number of children you have, since foreigners are having children at far higher rates than the native population.
I think a very moderate and extremely generous proposal, like I said, this is very moderate,
But immigrants should not be allowed to vote in our elections until they've been legal citizens in this country for, say, 10 years.
So you have to become a legal citizen and then wait another 10 years before you can vote.
Voting is not or shouldn't be a universal right granted to everyone.
It's not already.
We already have some minimal standards for voting.
You have to be 18.
Most states have restrictions on felons voting.
Our founding fathers obviously intended for the parameters to be much stricter.
Now, we can't prevent people from voting based on race, and we shouldn't, and no one is suggesting that.
But we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it.
I also think all voters should be required to complete and pass a fifth grade civics exam.
which will be administered in English, by the way, that'll check off the, you should be an English speaker box as well.
And we should disenfranchise everyone on welfare, even if they're American citizens.
