Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has sounded the alarm after exposing a massive effort by the Biden administration to register non-citizens to vote. Allen said his office has investigated the program, which would result in non-citizens and illegal immigrants receiving voter registration forms.
“We had some complaints from Alabama residents that their deceased relatives were receiving voter registration applications in the mail from their state's federally funded Medicaid,” Allen told WVNN. “So we dug deeper and found that anyone who had contact with the state's motor, state Medicaid agency was receiving voter registration forms in the mail, regardless of whether they received those benefits or not.”
Allen believes this could lead to illegal immigrants voting, which he called “terrible.”
“That means that any legal non-citizen or illegal alien seeking benefits through state Medicaid or electronic health records will receive a voter registration form,” he explained. “And that, coupled with President Biden's executive order that was signed in March of 2021, essentially mobilizes the entire federal agency, every federal agency, to become a voter registration agent as a pawn of the Democratic Party. This is a terrible thing, and we are using every legal tool at the Secretary of State's Office to fight against this and make sure we are operating in accordance with the Constitution and state law.”
The Secretary of State said his goal has always been to keep Alabama's elections safe and secure.

“[W]”We want Alabama to have the most accurate, cleanest voter file in the country,” he asserted. “That's what we want, and non-citizens should not be registered to vote. That's it. What the Biden administration should not do is make it easier for non-citizens to get a voter registration form. Whether it's a non-citizen who's in the country legally or an illegal immigrant, they should not be made easier to get a voter registration form so that they have a chance to even slip through a loophole. That's just an insult to the American people and the taxpayers of Alabama.”
He also sees Biden's latest executive order granting amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants currently in the country as part of an overall effort to turn those immigrants into Democratic voters.
“It's clear manipulation that they're trying to do, especially Biden's executive order this week to grant mass amnesty to up to 500,000 illegal immigrants,” he said. “They're making a mockery of law and order, and we're here to make that clear. What we need to do is get Trump back in the White House and get a Republican Senate and House to reform the NVRTA so that we can verify citizenship and make sure these illegal immigrants and anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen can't get a voter registration form.”
