Republican Representative Chip Roy of Texas is a Democrat who has introduced the American Voter Eligibility Protection Act (keepA bill to protect U.S. elections from the millions of illegal immigrants who flock to the border every year under the Biden administration.
“Safe elections are a critical foundation for representative government. Without them, the country cannot function,” Roy said. statement About the bill.
Not surprisingly, Democrats are staunchly opposed to the SAVE Act, arguing that the bill's legitimacy is based on falsehoods about our election system. The White House issued a statement on Monday morning, and Axios reported over the weekend: report House Democrats plan to “put up vigorous opposition” to the bill when it comes up for a vote this week, the source said.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark told her colleagues that she “strongly urges you to vote against” the SAVE Act because it would “prevent Americans from registering to vote using only their driver's license” and would “further intimidate election officials and overburden states' ability to register new voters.” Luke: There's a major realignment happening within the Democratic Party.
Illegal immigration and its impact on the American people has become one of the biggest issues in the 2024 election. Biden's border policy has turned every state into a border state. This is a serious issue that needs to be resolved. This puts the Democrats in a position where they have to choose between toeing the party line by supporting voting rights for illegal immigrants, which will undoubtedly happen, or voting to block foreigners from voting to protect their electoral campaigns.
The SAVE Act is likely to pass the House of Representatives, as Speaker Mike Johnson has signed off on the bill. 22 page report It outlines loopholes in current federal law under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, opening the way for foreign voters.
The Biden Administration, through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), allows undocumented immigrants to apply for work authorization and simultaneously apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) within 180 days of applying for asylum, regardless of whether their application is fraudulent.

“The Biden Administration's dismantling of border security and related policies has enabled millions of aliens to enter the country, violate immigration laws, and exploit the system to obtain Social Security numbers. President Biden recently referred to hordes of aliens streaming across the border as 'voters'. A state Democratic Party official is promoting the idea that individuals who are not citizens, cannot prove citizenship, and are in fact ineligible to vote under federal law are 'eligible' to vote in federal elections,” Johnson said in the report. Luke: The election “conspiracy theory” that Democrats say didn't happen… is happening in 49 states.
Republicans' biggest hurdle will be getting the bill through the Democratic-controlled Senate, where it is sponsored by Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.
“Illegal immigrants and non-citizens across the country are fraudulently registered to vote, allowing voter fraud in federal elections,” Lee said in a statement alongside Roy. “Now that confidence in the vote is more important than ever, we must stop foreign election interference and pass the SAVE Act. Voting is a sacred right and responsibility of American citizens, and allowing people from other countries access to our elections would be a serious blow to our security and self-governance.”
“Radical Progressive Democrats are using open borders to attack election integrity laws and fundamentally remake America.”

It is already illegal for these people to be in the country. The assertion that current laws are sufficient to stop them from voting is false.
American voters need to ask themselves why the party that “defends democracy” opposes legislation that would protect our elections from outside influence. The obvious answer is because they want votes. Their policies are ruining the lives of the American people, and they need to weaken the voting system in order to stay in power.
