Millions of illegal immigrants already crossed over the Southern border. What is happening & Can they vote? (Updated)

So it turns out these illegal immigrants are being allowed to vote in US elections. How does that make any sense? Recent attempts to allow illegals to vote have been defeated but the are still able to vote in many local elections.

Federal law does not prohibit noncitizens, including those who are undocumented and not authorized to legally live or work in the U.S., from voting in local or state elections. While no states grant undocumented immigrants the right to vote in state elections, more than 17 municipalities nationwide allow undocumented immigrants to vote in local elections. These municipalities include San Francisco and Oakland in California, Washington, D.C., and 10 communities in Maryland. But many believe these illegal’s will most likely vote for the people that let them enter as soon as they can vote, which would make perfect sense.

The Red Cross has guides for U.S.-bound migrants that include a map to the border, resources along the journey and a paper on what to do when encountering the dangers along the journey.
