Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Bill to Keep Non-Citizens From Voting, Thwarting Democrat Election Strategy
By Becky Noble | 3:15 PM on May 05, 2023


As the end of Title 42 gets closer, by all accounts, there will be a surge of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border the likes of which has never been seen before in American history. And in addition to the escalation of dangerous activities like drug and human trafficking, it also raises the threat of something else that, while not life-threatening, is still a danger to the nation, and that is illegal immigrants moving under the radar and voting in America’s elections. On Friday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), introduced a bill that would hinder greatly, non-citizens’ ability to vote in a federal election. The Protecting American Voters Act co-sponsors include Reps. Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Pete Sessions (R-TX), and Michael Burgess (R-TX).

The new legislation would do a number of things to ensure that the votes cast in American elections are, in fact, cast by Americans. It would provide individual states the tools needed to verify a potential voter’s citizenship status at the time of registration. The bill would also require federal agencies to provide states with citizenship information at the request of individual states from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE system. The SAVE system confirms those who are naturalized citizens. Under the new bill, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be required to provide citizenship status information to states if they are asked for it. The Social Security Administration (SSA), would also be required to provide citizenship information to states that ask, regarding citizens born in the U.S. This would reverse the previous practice of DHS providing information on citizenship status to states only at DHS’s discretion.

No one who is not a citizen has any right to vote at all! Period!

I agree, unfortunately in order to register to vote (at least around here) all they have to show is proof of residency; an electric bill or water bill, etc.

They send us a voter's registration card but all that is required when we go to the polls is our name and signature.

Way to lax.  One should have to show proof of American citizenship in order to register to vote and then be given a voter ID card and that card should be needed in order to vote on election day.

I agree with your post. My question is this (and not sarcastic). How does one show US citizenship? Birth certificate?
