The House of Representatives recently passed a bill known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires proof of US citizenship when registering to vote. This measure, aimed at preventing non-citizens from casting ballots in federal elections, was approved by a majority of 216 Republicans and five Democrats.
The bill was met with strong opposition from 198 Democrats, who believe that illegal aliens should have the right to vote in American elections. House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the Democrats for their stance on the issue, accusing them of intentionally welcoming non-citizens into the country in an effort to turn them into voters.
The passage of this bill highlights the ongoing debate surrounding voting rights and citizenship requirements in the United States. It is a divisive issue that has sparked heated discussions among politicians and the public alike.
