House Majority Whip Emmer vows to 'undo' DC council's policy allowing illegal immigrants to vote
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., vowed congressional Republicans will "undo" the DC city council's law allowing noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote.
A Washington D.C. effort to allow non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants and foreign diplomats according to the Wall Street journal, to vote in local elections is now law.
The City Council passed the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act amid criticism from Republicans. Congress had a 30-day review period, during which lawmakers could have pushed to block the legislation.
The review period ended last week, the council said Monday, WAMU reported. The House pushed to block the D.C. law from taking effect but the Senate ran out of time before the review period ended.
