I think that is true if there is no way for a municipality to tell whether or not someone is in this country legally. It should be possible to do so however using the DHS SAVE Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program.

A great many municipalities used to permit noncitizens to vote in te 1800s and it had deffects. The big political machines would grab te immigrants as soon as they stepped off the boat. When people are at the bottom they are easy to subborn.
