Quote:On Monday, the Biden administration announced that it was "strongly opposed" to a bill proposed by the House GOP that would strictly enforce existing laws prohibiting illegal immigrants from voting in federal elections. The president's office suggested the bill was unnecessary, claiming it would instead make it harder for Americans to vote.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act would, if passed, prevent anyone from casting a ballot in federal elections without proof of citizenship. It would also mandate that all states ensure there are no non-citizens on their voter rolls and punish election officials who register non-citizens with up to five years in prison.

"The Administration strongly opposes HR 8281," the office wrote in a statement. "It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections–it is a Federal crime punishable by prison and fines. The alleged justification for this bill is based on easily disproven falsehoods. Additionally, 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."

The statement went on to claim that states "already have effective safeguards in place to verify voters' eligibility and maintain the accuracy of voter rolls," and that the bill "would do nothing to safeguard our elections, but it would make it much harder for eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls."

You remember wrong. Republicans want to obey laws and the constitution. Democrats want only to win power at any cost. The constitution doesn’t matter. Democracy, as they call it, doesn’t matter. One citizen one vote doesn’t matter. All that matters is power to grift and control.

Everyone with a brain knew why the border has been none existent under democrat rule. The sad part is they really don’t give a chit at all about the people coming across. Only the power and the opportunity to cheat they will give them.

Okay then, if it's so worthless than why don't we go the third world route and register every voter with an ID card? Or are Blacks to stupid in your mind to be able to get one?

C'mon Commie, show us your how racists you are.
