> Until you consider getting resident visa is by far and away the most common way to franchise for immigrants, barring some exceptions like Argentina and citizenship by investment countries. It actually haze EVERYTHING to do with political franchise.

I have lost the plot I guess? The original comment was about who got to vote way back in the day.

> The implication is yours.

Okay I thought that was your implication. Then forget it.

> Yes of course nations choose the residency path that leads to franchise for immigrants with skin that they can put in the game.

I don’t know what you are talking about any more.

The original comment. See that. I cannot understand what you mean skin in the game is with regards to deciding who (back in the day) got to vote. I know that America is a nation of immigrants. This could be simplified to just people who have lived there all their lives.
