White House Threatens Government Shutdown If GOP Moves To Bar Noncitizens From Voting

The Biden-Harris White House is threatening to veto government funding if House Republicans do not remove the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act from a continuing resolution (CR). House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is signaling he intends to advance a CR that amends current federal voter laws to prevent noncitizens from casting ballots in federal elections and funds the government through the next six months.

“It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections—it is a Federal crime punishable by prison and fines. This behavior is wrong and the law clearly prohibits it,” the Biden-Harris government claims in a statement addressing the funding bill. They continue: “In addition, making a false claim of citizenship or unlawfully voting in an election is punishable by removal from the United States and a permanent bar to admission.”

“States already have effective safeguards in place to verify voters’ eligibility and maintain the accuracy of voter rolls,” the White House statement adds.

Despite the Biden-Harris government’s insistence that noncitizens voting is not a concern, evidence of their illegal election participation is mounting. The National Pulse reported on Monday that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) is acknowledging they have in custody an illegal alien who fraudulently assumed an American citizen’s identity and used it to “vote in multiple elections and obtain multiple United States passports.”

Additionally, survey data suggests a statistically significant number of noncitizens are illegally casting ballots in U.S. federal elections, despite the ban on doing so, due to inadequate vetting. According to Rasmussen Reports, 97 percent of noncitizens polled acknowledged having voted for a candidate in the 2020 presidential election.

The survey included 2,466 likely U.S. voters, of whom 222 either stated they were noncitizens or did not know their citizenship status—meaning 10 percent of the sample had dubious legal voting status.
