By Act For America, Brigette Gabriel – July 11, 2024
| Democrats vehemently oppose the SAVE Act, claiming that illegals rarely vote and never affect election outcomes. If it’s rare, why resist measures to prevent potential foreign interference? The truth is, it’s disturbingly easy for non-citizens to vote in state and federal elections. Until we enact real proof of citizenship and overhaul or abolish voter rolls, we won’t fully grasp the extent of illegal voting. Remember, 85% of Americans bi-partisanly support Voter ID. House Speaker Mike Johnson has summarized why we must pass the SAVE Act Now! |
| *While Democrats falsely claim that the 2016 election was “stolen” due to “foreign election interference,” they ignore the real threat posed by noncitizens registering and voting in U.S. elections. *Lax Registration Laws enable noncitizens to register and vote in federal elections. Campaign finance loopholes allow noncitizens to fund U.S. election activities, impacting election outcomes. *A 2014 study analyzing the 2008 and 2010 elections found that noncitizens not only voted illegally but also likely determined the outcome in certain races. *In states like Massachusetts, Ohio, and Virginia, noncitizens have been removed from voting rolls, with many having voted. *The Arizona Secretary of State’s website falsely claims individuals who fail to present proof of citizenship when registering will “be eligible to vote in federal elections.” |
| The threat to election integrity stems from poorly designed provisions of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), enacted in 1993. The NVRA does not require states to ask for proof of citizenship when registering individuals to vote in federal elections; instead, it relies on the honor system. In 44 states, if an individual completes and signs the universal NVRA form, the state must register that person to vote. This loophole, combined with the Biden Administration’s lenient immigration policies, which have increased the U.S. foreign-born population by 5.1 million in the last two years, could lead to millions of noncitizens registering to vote. Democrats and the media have downplayed this threat, falsely asserting that strict requirements are already in place when using the NVRA Form, claiming that anyone registering provides their Social Security number, driver’s license, or state ID, proving citizenship, which is patently false. Under the NVRA, states must provide voter registration materials to anyone at a DMV office, public assistance office, or by mail. The state chief elections officer must register an individual if they complete, sign, and return the NVRA voter registration form without requiring proof of identity or citizenship. Additionally, the Welfare Reform Act of 1996 allows aliens to qualify for federally funded public benefits in 63% or more cases. Asylees and aliens paroled into the U.S. for over a year are eligible for welfare benefits. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has paroled an estimated 1.5 million aliens into the U.S., making them eligible for welfare benefits and, thereby, access to voter registration. The 2021 Biden Administration Executive Order directing federal employees to partner with civic groups to register underserved populations increases the risk of noncitizens registering and voting in the 2024 Presidential election. President Biden has referred to the influx of aliens as “voters,” and Democratic officials are promoting the idea that individuals are eligible to vote in federal elections even if they are not citizens, which is illegal under federal law. Their intentions are clear.Asylees and aliens paroled into the U.S. apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EAD), which allow aliens to obtain SSNs without engaging with state authorities. Work VISA holders receive SSNs when they come to the U.S. with millions of illegals reportedly possessing SSNs in 2021, and over 850K aliens with SSNs overstayed their visas in 2022. The election interference we must worry about clearly comes from within, not from without. As the Biden Administration and Alphabet Agencies revive their “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax 2.0, we need to unite and fight the partisan effort to disenfranchise every American’s right to a free and fair election now! |
