Democratic operatives are allegedly working behind the scenes to open the door for potentially millions of illegal immigrants to vote in the upcoming November election, a move that many argue could undermine democratic institutions. The border crisis is a unifying concern for many Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
Most Americans, including Republicans and many Democrats, oppose the idea of open borders and the participation of illegal immigrants in federal elections. There’s also widespread agreement that foreign interference in elections, particularly through non-citizen voting, is unacceptable.
Despite this consensus, some Democrats in Congress are reportedly making it easier for illegal immigrants to influence elections. This week, Senate Democrats blocked the SAVE Act, a bill designed to prevent illegal voting in federal elections and other forms of electoral fraud.
The SAVE Act aims to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, requiring voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. The bill passed in the House of Representatives with a vote of 221-198, despite significant opposition from Democrats.
President Trump has made the passage of the SAVE Act and the protection of federal elections a key part of his 2024 campaign. On Tuesday, he took to Truth Social to urge Republicans to pass the bill, warning that the voting system is “under siege.”
Trump emphasized the Democrats’ strategy of using illegal votes to win elections, claiming that they can’t win based on their policies alone. He urged the RNC and Republican leaders to take action to ensure fair elections.
The upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, is expected to focus on election integrity and the SAVE Act. The RNC has already prioritized election integrity in its platform, and the SAVE Act aligns with this commitment.
The U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures the power to set the rules for federal elections, a principle affirmed by the Supreme Court. State legislatures can pass election laws without fear of a governor’s veto, making it crucial for the RNC to pressure Republican-controlled legislatures to adopt measures preventing illegal voting.
While federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections, concerns remain about the potential impact of illegal votes. The Biden administration’s immigration policies have resulted in millions of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. in recent years, posing a risk to election integrity.
Senator Mike Lee highlighted studies indicating that non-citizens are registering and voting in significant numbers. Even conservative estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of illegal votes could influence the upcoming election, potentially exceeding the margins in recent presidential races.
To safeguard the integrity of the election, it is imperative to pass the SAVE Act or use alternative methods to ensure fair and orderly elections. State legislatures must step up if Congress fails to act, ensuring that the democratic process is protected and restoring confidence in the electoral system.
