The claim: New York’s Prop. 1 would ‘strip parental rights,’ grant benefits and voting rights to ‘illegal aliens’
An Oct. 26 Facebook post ( direct link , archive link ) urges New York residents to vote against a proposition on the ballot in the 2024 election.
“ALERT NY STATE: Democrats are trying to pass Proposition One on the November 5 ballot, which will strip parental rights and grant benefits and voting rights to illegal aliens,” it reads in part.
It goes on to list five more things it claims the proposition would do:
- Prevent schools from telling parents about their child’s desire to transition genders
- Require that biological males be allowed on women’s sports teams and in women’s locker rooms
- Create a “constitutional basis for taxpayer-funded benefits for non-citizens and undocumented migrants”
- Allow voting rights for non-citizens
- Support “the use of racial and ethnic quotas in hiring, education admissions and other areas”
Another version of the claim on Instagram was liked nearly 1,500 times before it was deleted. The claim also circulated on X, formerly Twitter .
