On Wednesday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that the House of Representatives has passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE), which requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections in America.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The bill was approved in a mostly party-line vote of 221\u2013198.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five Democrats\u2014Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Donald Davis (D-N.C.), Jared Golden (D-Maine), Vincente Gonzalez Jr. (D-Texas), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.)\u2014joined all Republicans in voting for the legislation. Other Democrats opposed the bill, arguing that it\u2019s redundant with existing prohibitions on noncitizen voting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are these the same people who are giving instructions on how to register to vote to illegal aliens at the southern border?<\/p>\n

The article reports some of the discussion:<\/p>\n

It would also require states to purge their voter rolls of any current noncitizens, in part by giving states no-cost access to databases run by the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a whip notice<\/a>, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) advised Democrats against voting for the legislation, saying that it \u201cirresponsibly [calls] into question the credibility of our elections.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n

Democrats say that under the terms of the bill, it would become more difficult for natural-born and naturalized citizens to register to vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is already illegal under current law for noncitizens to register to vote or to vote in federal elections,\u201d Ms. Clark\u2019s office stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Republicans acknowledge that federal law technically prohibits voting by illegal immigrants, but they say there are loopholes that make it possible for an illegal immigrant to vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Republicans\u2019 concerns are primarily related to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), dubbed the Motor Voter law, which allows people to register to vote at the same time that they pick up a driver\u2019s license from a Department of Motor Vehicles or other state agency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foreigners living permanently in the United States are encouraged to get a U.S. driver\u2019s license; 19 states and the District of Columbia allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver\u2019s licenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NVRA does not allow<\/a> states to ask for documentary proof of citizenship, instead requiring that they take an individual\u2019s word that they are a citizen unless the individual\u2019s eligibility is called into question.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

There are non-citizens currently voting in our elections. The penalty for voting when you are not a citizen needs to be deportation, and that rule needs to be enforced. I believe that will help solve the problem.<\/p>\n
