Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona introduced a bill on Monday that would reaffirm the House's commitment to ensuring election security and acknowledge that requiring photo ID is necessary to ensure only U.S. citizens can vote.

The Daily Caller obtained a first copy of the bill, which comes amid a surge in illegal immigration in the country. Announced An illegal immigrant agreed to plead guilty Thursday to stealing the identities of U.S. citizens in order to vote in multiple elections. The Department of Justice also charged him with fraudulently obtaining a U.S. passport.

“Now more than ever, it's important that the House take a strong stance on election security,” Biggs told the Caller. (Related: Exclusive: Donald Jr., Trump campaign delighted that Vance is far superior to Waltz)

“The radical Biden-Harris Administration's open borders have allowed millions of illegal immigrants into our country. We need to show the American people that we are committed to ensuring that only American citizens can vote in American elections,” he continued. “Requiring photo ID to vote is a simple way to strengthen election security. We need photo ID to drive a car, buy alcohol or tobacco, and apply for welfare. Requiring ID to vote is not too much to ask.”

“With election season fast approaching, we urge House leadership to quickly pass this resolution on the House floor. We must take this small step to restore the American people's confidence in our election system,” Biggs added.
