Biden Admin Dismisses Noncitizen Voting Because It’s ‘Already Illegal’ (Just Like Shoplifting And Drunk Driving)

White House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre reassured reporters Tuesday that “it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.” Cue the nationwide sigh of relief: At last, we can sleep easy knowing noncitizens won’t vote, because — surprise! — it’s against the law.

Drunk driving. Yet roughly one million people are arrested each year in the United States for drunk driving, according to Better Life Recovery & Wellness, and “results from surveys show that this number represents only a small portion of the actual number of alcohol-impaired drivers behind the wheel each year.”

It’s also “already illegal” for someone under the age of 21 to buy or drink alcohol, yet 12.6 million people between the ages of 12 and 20 have reported having at least one alcoholic drink in their life, according to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

It’s “already illegal” to steal a motor vehicle, yet 83,220 people were arrested in 2020 for allegedly doing just that, according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Similarly, 67,900 people were also arrested in 2020 for alleged, “already illegal” robbery.

Jean-Pierre — who works for the administration that has seen millions of people illegally enter the United States — should know better than anyone that just because something is “illegal” doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

How else did 41 noncitizens cast a ballot in North Carolina in 2016? Or how did 11,198 noncitizens reportedly end up on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls? We have been reliably informed that it can’t happen because casting a ballot as a noncitizen or registering to vote as a noncitizen is “already illegal!”

It could be because the current federal voter registration form simply asks prospective voters to check a box affirming they’re telling the truth that they are a citizen, which amounts to nothing more than the honor system, as Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, previously clarified in these pages.

That’s why Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly tying the Republican-led Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a continuing resolution that would fund the government through March.

The SAVE Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act and require documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. That means individuals who cannot prove their citizenship would not end up on the voter rolls.

You might think Democrats would support keeping foreign nationals out of our elections after they spent years breathlessly lamenting alleged foreign election interference on behalf of former President Donald Trump.

But it must have been fake outrage, because 198 Democrats voted against the opportunity to safeguard our elections and keep foreign nationals out of them in July — and their reasoning was similar to that of Jean-Pierre’s.

“It is against the law for noncitizens to register to vote and to vote in federal elections,” Rep. Joseph Morelle, D-N.Y., previously said in opposition to the bill.

“We know that it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections,” Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., said. “Under current law, noncitizens would face up to five years in prison for attempting to vote in federal elections and even risk being deported.”

But as The Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis noted in a Wednesday post on X, banning states from “confirming citizenship when votes are cast” would “be like having a law that bans speeding… and then bans any method for detecting speed.”

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Regarding the deceptive (imo), "already illegal" law that the OBiden Administration is claiming makes it illegal for illegal aliens to vote, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to be aware of disturbing wording in this Trojan Horse law that has wrongly been approved by all three branches of the deep state federal government.

From related threads, here are MAJOR constitutional problems with states and feds allowing illegal aliens to vote to help keep desperate elite Democrats and RINOs in power.

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to question why career lawmakers passed the law that that we're hearing about (scroll to the bottom of the referenced page of course) that seems to have a “hole” in it like Trump's border wall, smoking gun wording that is arguably a loophole that makes it easier for illegal immigrants to get way with illegally voting imo.

"(3) the alien reasonably believed at the time of voting in violation of such subsection that he or she was a citizen of the United States."

Contrast this unconstitutional (imo) provision in the law with the fact that women citizens had to fight long and hard to win their suffrage, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

"19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Again, this Democratic and RINO unconstitutional, pro-illegal alien voting loophole is a slap in the face to women citizen voters who ultimately had fight for a constitutional amendment to win their right to vote imo.

What's even worse is the compromised (imo) Supreme Court has already officially shrugged off this alien-supporting loophole.

"It’s not just that state officials — who are responsible for federal voter registration and elections in our country — don’t verify citizenship in this context; it’s that the Supreme Court has told them that they’re not allowed to do so. In Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc., 570 U.S. 1 (2013), the Court held that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA, also known as the “Motor Voter” law) prohibits states from requiring proof of citizenship when processing federal voter registration forms." -- Sen. Mike Lee, The Federalist (5.13.24)
"The high court struck down an Arizona law that required voters to show proof of citizenship in national elections. In the majority opinion (7-2), the late Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the state law conflicted with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which mandates states “accept and use” the standardized federal voter registration form for national elections. The NVRA form, developed by the federal Election Assistance Commission, does not require proof of citizenship. It only asks an applicant “aver, under penalty of perjury [emphasis added], that he is a citizen.”" —M.D. Kittle, The Federalist, 1.12.24

The Court's misguided decision (imo) concerning Arizona case noted, do institutionally indoctrinated Supreme Court justices possibly not know that the post-Civil War congressional record shows that lawmakers were concerned that renegade states who allowed illegal aliens to vote would be wrongly nullifying the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," which elite Democrats are now wrongly trying to do imo.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)
" Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

In fact, Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), that amendment ratified shortly after the excerpts above appeared in the congressional record, is a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

Note the zero tolerance "hair triggers" in that section that should be a warning for any state thinking about rigging an election, triggers that Pence and the J6 Congress wrongly ignored imo when they voted to accept OBiden's electoral votes in 2020 despite allegations of vote-counting problems.

"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"Section 2 of 14A: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election [all emphases added] for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

With Section 2 in mind, consider that if this were a better world, the feds would be reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.

Allowing illegal aliens to vote not only wrong nullifies the "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," but also wrongly weakens the constitutionally enumerated voting protections of all qualified citizen voters.

So while post-Civil War lawmakers were concerned about renegade states who might try to nullify the "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause" by allowing illegals to vote, all three branches of the corrupt federal government have arguably joined renegade states who are now effectively wrongly trying to nullify that clause by using illegal aliens to rig elections imo.

Since Congress has repeatedly proven that it is an enemy of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November. Patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
