People all over the country are afraid that non-citizens and illegal immigrants will vote in the 2024 election. This is because President Joe Biden and “Border Czar” Kamala Harris have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to come into the country over the past three years. Now we could see a dangerous “lame duck” session after Trump wins the election. This will give Democrats time to allow all sorts of bad things to happen.
The government funding cutoff date is September 30. Republicans can deal with both of these problems by tying the SAVE Act to a stretch of funding until 2025.
By doing this, Democrats have to answer a simple question: “Do you support making people show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections, or do you support people who are not citizens voting?”
It also stops the one-party system from using the lame duck to pass another spending bill that breaks spending caps and supports the radical Democratic plan through the start of a Trump government.
Not surprisingly, people in the uniparty, like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), hate this play. It puts them in the worst possible position: they have to defend their actions against the will of the vast majority of Americans.
We got the SAVE Act (H.R. 8281) through the House of Representatives without a single Republican vote in July. The bill only says that states have to check someone’s identity before allowing them to vote. It also gives states tools to find and remove non-citizens who are already registered, so that only eligible U.S. citizens can vote.
Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer and his friends have stopped the Senate from even thinking about the SAVE Act. Putting the question on a spending measure will force Senate Democrats to talk about it, which is why it is so important.
While this was going on, Democrats tried to downplay the significance of the SAVE Act but failed. They said wrongly that letting millions of illegal immigrants into the country would not have an effect on our elections because, according to the Biden-Harris administration, “It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections.”
