00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I want to thank my friend from Utah, Mr. Moore, for having

00:07this special order, which is so imparted.

00:09Mr. Speaker, if it was not abundantly clear already to the American people before, it

00:18certainly is now.

00:20Democrats want non-citizens to vote in our federal elections.

00:27They can't deny it now.

00:29There's no other way to spin this.

00:31They want to allow non-citizens to vote.

00:36They are certainly no longer even hiding that fact anymore.

00:40Today, we voted on the SAVE Act, a bill that requires individuals to provide proof of citizenship

00:48when registering to vote in federal elections, and provide states with access to existing

00:55federal databases so that they can clean up their voter registration rolls and remove

01:02non-citizens and even dead people from the rolls.

01:06It's a common-sense bill that nearly 80 percent of voters are in support of, and yet my colleagues

01:14across the aisle refused to support it.

01:18Why is this?

01:20Well, the truth is simple.

01:21As un-American and as ridiculous and outlandish as it is, the Democrats want foreign nationals

01:28to decide our nation's elections, and they want them voting in their favor.

01:34This is not a conspiracy.

01:36This is not a theory.

01:38This is a fact.

01:39Hundreds of non-citizens are already registered to vote in local elections right here in Washington,

01:45D.C. alone.

01:47But the left doesn't know when to stop.

01:49It isn't enough to dismantle our national security by implementing open-border policies

01:55that give our adversaries easier access to the United States.

02:00It isn't enough to blindly catch and release millions of unvetted illegal aliens and criminals

02:06and suspected terrorists all on the taxpayer's dime.

02:10It isn't even enough that Americans are dying at the hands of those illegal border crossers

02:17or by the deadly drugs that they smuggle into the country by the hundreds of thousands every

02:23single day.

02:24Every year, over 100,000 Americans are dying of overdoses.

02:30He could end, Joe Biden could end, the illegal invasion taking place in my home state of

02:37Texas and other border states overnight.

02:41But instead, the president and his party continue to twist the knife, taking the border crisis

02:47one step further and eroding our most precious right as Americans, and that is the right

02:55to vote, the sacred right to vote.

02:59And Republicans will not stand by, I can tell you this, and allow this lawless travesty

03:04to unfold and one party rule to take root in the United States of America.

03:11The SAVE Act is critical to safeguard election integrity, something today's progressive Democrats

03:17clearly oppose.

03:19Is this even the same Democrat party that I remember from just a few decades ago, much

03:24less 50 years ago?

03:27It seems to have gone off the rails in the far-left Marxist arena and realm now.

03:36American citizens, please take note.

03:39Note that these Democrats that are voting against this bill and our president's foolish

03:45promise to veto it, yes, your eyes are not lying, they did.

03:50We are witnessing an attempt by the Democrat party to simply hijack U.S. elections on a

03:56permanent basis.

03:58We cannot ever allow this to happen.

04:01If the grand experiment that is the United States of America is to continue for another

04:06248 years, we must act now to ensure that only Americans can vote in American elections.

04:16The law is clear, only U.S. citizens can vote.

04:21Why do the Democrats not want voters to prove that they are U.S. citizens when they register

04:28and vote?

04:30Thank you, and I yield back.
