(DCWatchdog.com) – In an abomination exposing the plot of the left to use illegal immigrants to commit voter fraud and boost the Democrats’ election results, welfare offices and a variety of agencies in 49 states across the US are distributing voter registration forms to immigrants without requiring evidence of citizenship.
This practice has prompted significant concern among Republicans and conservative groups, who are urging the federal government to intervene and halt these distributions, The New York Post reports.
Excluding Arizona, which has recently enacted legislation that prohibits this practice on state forms (though not on federal ones), every state provides voter registration forms to individuals applying for welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or, in some instances, mail-in ballots, without requiring citizenship verification.
Currently, federal voter registration forms do not mandate proof of U.S. citizenship; however, it remains illegal for someone to falsely declare themselves a citizen or for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.
Nevertheless, millions of immigrants who are granted humanitarian parole, refugee status, or asylum are entitled to benefits that necessitate visits to offices where voter registration is facilitated.
The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 mandates that states facilitate voter registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and at agencies where public benefits are sought.
These offices must provide voter registration forms along with application documents.
An individual’s declaration of U.S. citizenship on these forms is accepted at face value, which leads to them being registered to vote.
The House Administration Committee recently endorsed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration at DMVs, by mail, or at welfare agency offices.
“While Biden and radical progressive Democrats give ISIS and criminals an app to literally schedule their illegal entry, Republicans must fight any chance of illegal voter registration until we can mass deport,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), the sponsor of the bill, remarked to The Post.
“As President Biden has allowed millions of illegal aliens, including sophisticated criminal organizations and foreign adversaries, to cross our borders, it is crucial for Congress to implement stricter enforcement measures to secure the voter registration process and ensure that only American citizens influence the outcomes of American elections,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) commented following the bill’s approval.
“It is undeniable that the existing system permits illegal immigrants and non-citizens to vote, leaving the American public in the dark about the extent of this issue,” stated Ryan Walker, executive vice president at Heritage Action, a subsidiary of the conservative Heritage Foundation.
“The SAVE Act addresses these concerns and reassures Americans that our elections are conducted on a fair basis,” Walker added.
Despite this, House Republican leaders have not yet scheduled a floor vote for the bill, although a source on Capitol Hill hinted to The Post that it might occur before the August recess.
