Foreigners that reside in the United States should be allowed to vote if they a) pay taxes to the federal and state governments and b) Pass a test specifically detailed towards voting and current policy.
@8KPF28P4yrs4Y
Yes, depending on VISA type/status

Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years without a criminal record
@8PGP4Q74yrs4Y
If they are paying taxes and have lived in the country for at least 5 years and have no criminal record
@8Q9PRKM4yrs4Y
I think that if they pay taxes and they have lived in the country for a set amount of years then they should be able to vote in elections.

Yes, but grant them immediate legal citizenship in order to have that right.
