NEW YORK - The New York City Council has approved a bill that would allow non-citizens to vote in municipal elections.The bill's supporters say that it is a victory for the city's over 800,000 tax-paying immigrants with green cards and work authorization.Known as Intro 1867, the bill does not confer voting rights for state or federal elections, nor does it permit unauthorized immigrants to cast ballots in the city.

Councilman Francisco Moya, whose family hails from Ecuador, choked up as he spoke in support of the bill."This is for my beautiful mother who will be able to vote for her son," said Moya, while joining the session by video with his immigrant mother at his side.Get breaking news alerts in the free FOX5NY News app | Sign up for FOX.

Woman in stitches as 'stupid' mate confuses pregnancy test result with Covid
Covid lockdown was introduced, which means by now most of us are used to testing ourselves to see if we have been infected with the virus.Many people may now associate the phrase ‘positive result’ with a confirmed case of the infectious virus that has caused the pandemic.But, that was not always the case.This was clear when a woman messaged a friend with a picture of her pregnancy test - which gave a positive result.Having snapped a photo of the white stick portraying two red lines, the women wrote “positive” with a neutral face emoji.However, there was a bit of a modern day mix-up.Just like how lateral flow tests show two red lines for a positive result, the friend thought they tested for Covid - not for being pregnant.The confused friend replied: “Damn, I hope you feel better.”Along with a prayer emoji, they added: “Quarantine.”Stunned at the response, the pregnant woman slammed: “Are you stupid?”A screenshot of the text was posted to Facebook by user Amber Lee Clark which has now racked up thousands of likes and 33,000 shares.People were left in stitches at the confusion so tagged their mates with laughing emojis whilst they poked fun at the mix-up.One person chuckled: “I hope she takes all the necessary precautions that the CDC has lined out. Don’t need that s*** spreading”Another added: “Name your kid Covid.”Whilst a third user related: “Remember when I sent you my Covid results and you thought I was pregnant?”Someone else shared: “I laughed too hard at this.” Get all the biggest Lifestyle news straight to your inbox.
