\u00bfQu\u00e9 en la fregada<\/i>?<\/p>\n

What the hell?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I muttered after learning that Los Angeles Councilmember Hugo Soto-Mart\u00ednez wants to allow noncitizens to vote in city and school board elections.<\/p>\n

Talk about a solution in search of a problem, considering everything Angelenos are facing right now.<\/p>\n

While the specter of la migra<\/i> continues to haunt the city, far more crushing are problems that affect everyone \u2014 affordability, housing, traffic, pollution. Maybe Soto-Mart\u00ednez and his colleagues should double down on fixing those things first and sell their message better to voters instead of picking up a new issue?<\/p>\n

I know the first-term council member comes from a good place. His parents were formerly undocumented, just like my dad, and he has been a fierce advocate for immigrants going back to his labor organizing days. I have friends without legal status and others in the DACA program for people who came to the U.S. illegally as children. I think giving them, as well as green card holders and others with papers, a chance to participate in elections is a righteous idea. <\/p>\n

But to paraphrase the Book of Ecclesiastes, there\u2019s a time and a place for everything. In 2026, Angelenos should be focused on electing people and approving initiatives that will improve the city for everyone, not a narrow plank benefiting a slice of the population.<\/p>\n

So I called up Soto-Mart\u00ednez and challenged him to convince this doubting Tom\u00e1s.<\/p>\n

He hopes his proposal will reach the City Council later this month for a vote on whether to place it on the November ballot. If voters pass the measure, it goes back to the council to decide when \u2014 if ever \u2014 to enfranchise the immigrants. <\/p>\n

The proposal, already vilified in conservative media, isn\u2019t as radical as it seems. Noncitizens are already prohibited from voting in federal elections, but there\u2019s a well-established history of their participation in local ones, including in Vermont and Maryland. They can already vote in L.A. neighborhood council elections, and in San Francisco school board elections if they have a child in the district. <\/p>\n

Besides, L.A. has long led the way in weaving undocumented immigrants into the fabric of civic life.<\/p>\n

This is a sanctuary city where Mayor Karen Bass has stood up to President Trump\u2019s xenophobia. Where eight of the 15 council members are immigrants or the children of immigrants. Where LAUSD Supt. Alberto Carvalho \u2014 himself formerly undocumented \u2014 has striven to make local schools as welcoming as possible (Carvalho is on paid leave after the FBI raided his home and office earlier this year). Even the LAPD learned decades ago that it\u2019s better to embrace undocumented immigrants than castigate them for their lack of legal status. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re contributing to this economy, you should have the right to decide who represents you,\u201d Soto-Mart\u00ednez told me.<\/p>\n

Fair point. But isn\u2019t thumbing our noses at Trump asking for more of what he has already inflicted on L.A., making life even more miserable for undocumented immigrants? Could he use the noncitizen voter rolls as a list of whom to deport? Besides, doesn\u2019t extending the franchise to noncitizens give fuel to his crazy conspiracies about stolen elections?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always hear, \u2018Don\u2019t poke the bear, don\u2019t instigate them,\u2019 but that\u2019s not how you deal with a bully,\u201d Soto-Mart\u00ednez replied. \u201cThey\u2019re coming at us already. While they\u2019re removing people\u2019s right to vote in the Supreme Court, we\u2019re expanding it. … And it has nothing to do with Trump. It\u2019s about fairness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tell that to Trump.<\/p>\n

I mentioned that Santa Ana \u2014 a city far more Latino than Los Angeles, though not as liberal \u2014 decisively rejected a similar measure in 2024. Soto-Mart\u00ednez\u2019s fellow Democratic Socialist council members, Ysabel Jurado and Eunisses Hern\u00e1ndez, have voiced their support for his measure. But I wonder whether the full council will move it along to voters in a year when some members, including Soto-Mart\u00ednez, are running for reelection. <\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t get a comment from Bass. Councilmember Nithya Raman, who\u2019s running against her, said in a statement that Soto-Mart\u00ednez\u2019s push \u201cis worth taking seriously\u201d but that it\u2019s \u201ccritical to getting this right, and we must not make decisions lightly or quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to have to organize,\u201d Soto-Mart\u00ednez acknowledged. \u201cBut we live in a political moment where it\u2019s the right conversation to have about what this city stands for.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s going to have to convince people like Nilza Serrano. She\u2019s president of Avance, L.A. County\u2019s largest Latino Democratic club, and heads the California Democratic Party\u2019s Latino caucus. Serrano is no wokosa<\/i> \u2014 she supported Rick Caruso in the last mayoral election and is now siding with Bass.<\/p>\n

While Serrano thinks Soto-Mart\u00ednez is on to something, she said that voting rights for noncitizens are a nonissue for the people she\u2019s trying to get to the polls for the June primary and November general elections. The economy and Trump\u2019s deportation deluge are more on their minds.<\/p>\n

I asked if Soto-Mart\u00ednez\u2019s proposal would cheapen citizenship for people like her. Serrano and her family came here legally from Guatemala in the 1980s before becoming U.S. citizens, a process that took years.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot for me,\u201d she replied. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard to say for others. I\u2019d have to do a little bit more research.\u201d<\/p>\n

So I continued with my own research, calling someone I was sure would have a fit about the idea: Los Angeles County Hispanic Republican Club President David Hernandez.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t San Francisco already doing it?\u201d the Navy veteran cracked. <\/p>\n

I thought Hernandez would go on an anti-liberal rant, but.\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there\u2019s a strong argument,\u201d he said, \u201cthat if someone has established residency and is a member of the community and suffered the consequences of whatever local policies will be enacted, they should have a say in who gets elected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did the ghost of Joaquin Murrieta, California\u2019s original avenging Latino, suddenly possess Hernandez? To make sure I was hearing right, I asked again if noncitizens voting in L.A. elections is a good thing. <\/p>\n

How could he support that, as a Trump-voting Republican?! <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be pragmatic,\u201d he replied. He approves of noncitizens voting in L.A. neighborhood council elections, because that\u2019s true local control. <\/p>\n

Hernandez understands that allowing them to vote in municipal elections might come off as an insult to the memory of civil rights activists who lost their lives fighting for that right for Black Americans. But U.S. citizens are already taking it for granted, he noted \u2014 turnout in the November 2022 L.A. mayoral election was a pitiful 44%.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe noncitizens will appreciate voting more than some citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still not fully convinced that Soto-Mart\u00ednez\u2019s push is wise right now, but I like that he\u2019s being careful. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to get in the weeds of this,\u201d he said of the City Council\u2019s deliberations, which he characterized as attempting to ensure maximum benefit and minimum fallout.<\/p>\n
