I'm pretty materialist. So let's igmore culture/language: if you have a job, they are getting benefits of your presence immediately. So shouldn't you get some franchise immediately? If you don't vote, aren't you effectively a scab on democracy?
The US is kinda hypocritical in that on one hand there is a tacit desire to lord it over non-citizens, and in the other hand there is a vocal concern about exacerbating the glut of labor.
Well, an individual American can't have it both ways: you're either a net worker or net owner.
