None. There is no other nation which practices the generosity, goodwill, and tolerance for foreigners as we do. We roll out the welcome mat for people who hate us and give them low or no cost business loans or provide them with social services both not ordinarily available to citizens and overlook faults for which a citizen would be crucified, and it's killing who we are and negating what we have been. And not for the better. If you're not a citizen, you don't vote and you don't serve on juries. To address your contention that malevolence or bias will be "sniffed out", my experiences with the legal system leads me to not entirely believe that premise, and how is that to be thoroughly done with the inquisitors dealing with people from unfamiliar cultures? It's not about what is being said so much as what is meant, and what is said in public might not be the same as what is said in close privacy. Furthermore the slippery slope is Quote:

Phil,
You may not get upset about foreigners sitting in judgement over our citizens, laws, disputes, and further allow them to set precedence, but I am greatly concerned. And yes, the founding fathers would have been concerned with good reason, very similar to the reason Mexico has all the restrictions on foreigners that it does. Furthermore it's a cynical stepping stone to give the vote to people who are newly arrived, legal or not. Just who do new citizens tend to vote for? Those who paved their way - generally Democrats who come up with bills like this.

Just one more point and then I'll rest my case. I can actually sympathize with a lot of the points you made, but consider this: A non-citizen resident is subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States and if arrested they are entitled to a jury trial like any other resident, citizen or otherwise. A jury is ideally supposed to be composed of the peers of the defendant (which the Founding Fathers did believe in), and who better to fill the role of peer of a non-citizen than another non-citizen?

Besides, some cultures believe in arranged marriages with the bride being a child while the husband may be a middle aged man. Should a jury in the United States be composed of foreigners who came from the same child bride culture as a foreigner accused of child molestation? But these are all side arguments which detract from the real issue - national sovereignty. To give foreigners the jury box is a big step towards giving foreigners who have no loyalty or sympathy for our country the ballot box.

I don't agree with that at all. Voting is a privilege which is given to us. Jury service isn't a privilege or something people are entitled to, it's something they provide for us at their own expense in many cases, not to mention the inconvenience.

AND WHO WILL THEY VOTE FOR WHEN ALLOWED TO DO SO? They will vote for the party which caters to them, which party includes a whole delegation of those Americans who want to entirely change the character of America - and those political knuckleheads (who quite often live up on the hill and not among those they bring in) have no idea of what they are really bringing about. We get back to the basics of what is being wrought, regardless of the "joys" to you and I of jury service: It's ultimately about national sovereignty, allowing foreigners to sit in judgement over our citizens, our laws, our legal disputes, and further allow them to set legal precedence, And to give foreigners the jury box is a big step towards giving foreigners who have no loyalty or sympathy for our country the ballot box. It's about "One World", "world without borders", "citizen of the world", "Racist American imperialism" among much else that is being exploited by other agendas. There are lots of agendas in this pie, not just Aztlanistas, not just "white privilege" race baiters, not just far left Birkenstock wearing kumbaya usefull idiot crowd cum Stalinist style communists, but many more. I have no love for the Republican party, but the Democrat party has the largest collection of useful idiots among them all.
