State Legislature Working To Allow Non-Citizens To Serve On Jury
OK folks,
This is a big deal. The state assembly passed a bill that will bring non-citizens into the Jury pools in all courts. This is a direct assault on state citizen sovereignty. It would allow foreign citizens to sit in judgement of all native born. I'm still mired in a work project, but this one we have to fight hard on http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill...d_asm_v98.html |

I just read the bill and it specifically exempts persons who are not lawfully present immigrants or citizens of the United
States as potential trial jurors. I don't have a big problem with non-citizens serving a jury, as long as they're legal residents.

The countries many of those people come from are corrupt and lacking in democratic values, even whole different thought processes are involved. Are you willing to have a jury comprised of newly arrived people from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Saharan African countries sit in judgement of the surviving Boston bombing suspect, a legal immigrant from Chechnya? How about cases in which the Mexican government has an interest in, want a bunch of Mexican nationals weighing in on the outcome? Juries are selected from voter registration lists, so when they can sit on juries, the slippery slope will be "why not let them vote as well?" So the value of American citizenship is diminished with every tiny little bite. The people who come up with this crap hate our country and are seeking to change it into something else by turning us into "citizens of the world". Think about it.

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:
