As the Republican-controlled House is expected to take up a bill Wednesday aimed at making sure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, President Joe Biden is signaling he would kill the measure should it miraculously survive the Democrat-led Senate. Biden isn’t likely to need the veto pen.
Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote for president and members of Congress.
And while they have gotten plenty of cover from corporate media in asserting that foreign nationals — including illegal aliens — are rarely ever caught voting in federal elections, such explanations may not sit well with U.S. voters who overwhelmingly support prohibitions on noncitizens voting in federal elections. Most Americans, too, according to polls, are deeply concerned about the tsunami of illegal immigrants that has swamped U.S. communities on Biden’s watch. Exactly why the Biden administration has kept the border door wide open isn’t lost on anyone who has been paying attention for the past three and a half years.
“Democrats say it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. That’s true. It’s also illegal for someone to illegally enter our country, but that hasn’t stopped millions and millions of people,” U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told me Tuesday during an interview on the “The Vicki McKenna Show” in Milwaukee and Madison.
Steil, the chairman of the House Committee on Administration, which passed H.R. 8281 in May, wants to remind anyone who will listen that Democrats already support foreign nationals voting in local elections, as they are allowed to do in Washington, D.C.

A Republic, if you can keep it <~~~ thank you Mr. Franklin
Seems to be effective. Why change?
What is the current law on illegals voting in our elections. No one seems to know.
If the republican don’t fight this... The dems will steal the election again.
If that happens, the example set already.. You disagree with the master king, you go to prison. In other words, this America will be a commie.. Socialist country and you who don’t care will be the first to finally get the picture..
Your barn door is wide open and your horse is gone.. The frog is burned to a crisp.
We’ve known this for many years. Why is it only now getting attention?
Yes. And shoplifters are rarely ever caught in California.
Look at France.
It has been conquered.
Since laws seem to be fluid, is it illegal to ask a person standing in line to vote, who doesn’t speak English, “eres ciudadano”?
