Dems continue support for illegal voting
The House passed another key immigration bill Thursday despite Democrats nearly unanimously voting to tank the legislation.
The SAVE Act, which was spearheaded by Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, passed in a near party-line vote with 216 Republicans voting for the bill and 208 Democrats voting against it. Just four Democrats joined Republicans to pass the legislation.
"The bill is pretty simple," Roy said. "It just simply says you've got to demonstrate with documentary proof of citizenship that you're a citizen the next time you're going through the cycle of your registration process, or if a state decides to clean out their voter rolls."
Some critics have suggested that the bill is redundant as it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in elections. Despite this, voter registration relies on individuals to self-report their own citizenship status without verification. Roy's bill would close that existing loophole and fortify elections against illegal voting.
"All this would do is prevent illegals from voting," Roy added. "We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections."

It is not clear exactly what evidence someone born in this country would have to present to qualify for voting. Would they have to dig out their birth certificate? I don't think illegals should be allowed to vote, but we should not make it difficult for citizens to do so.

What was once labeled as baseless fear-mongering now stands as undeniable fact, forcing a reckoning on the state and national stage.
