The Left’s Illegal Voters

The House of Representatives will hold an important vote this week on commonsense legislation that everyone should support. The vote ought to be unanimous. But it won’t be.

Speaker Mike Johnson has put the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) on the House calendar for an on-the-record vote. The legislation is very simple: If you want to register to vote, you must provide proof of citizenship because only American citizens should be voting in our elections.

But there is growing evidence that illegal aliens who are pouring across Joe Biden’s open borders are in fact registering to vote and voting.

This is a real problem, in spite of the left’s vehement denials. Just consider this excerpt from an Associated Press report this year about the voting controversy in Arizona:

“Arizona is required to accept the federal registration form, but anyone who does not provide proof of citizenship is only allowed to vote for president, the U.S. House or Senate. The federal form requires people to swear they are U.S. citizens, but there is no proof requirement.

“Federal-only voters have been a subject of political wrangling since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that Arizona cannot require documentary proof of citizenship for people to vote in national elections. The state responded by creating two classes of voters: those who can vote in all races and those who can vote only in federal elections.”

The controversy in Arizona exposes a serious flaw in the 1993 Motor Voter law that forced states to allow people to register to vote, without proof of citizenship, at their local Department of Motor Vehicles office when they get a driver’s license.

Well, many states allow illegal aliens to get drivers’ licenses. They can check the “I’m a citizen” box, but there’s no check on whether they really are citizens or not.

How stupid is that?

This has been a major concern of conservatives for years – that “progressive” politicians are importing new voters through open borders. Of course, they deny it, but the evidence is overwhelming.

For example, some left-wing cities already allow illegal aliens to vote in local elections.

Just a few weeks ago, the House of Representatives voted on a bill to ban that practice in the District of Columbia.

While the bill passed, all the “No” votes came from “progressive” politicians.

Well, here we go again.

As the House is getting ready to debate legislation to stop voting by illegal aliens, the Biden White House issued a statement condemning the SAVE Act, and House progressives are being urged by their leadership to oppose it.

That tells you everything you need to know.

Meanwhile, the crowd promising to “save our democracy” wants to put you in jail if you dare to question the results of an election.
