‘Kamala Harris owns this border crisis. She’s trying to wipe away her history as Joe Biden’s open border czar. She owns economic national security and the humanitarian open border crisis that her policies created’

A top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives says Democrats in power actually “want illegals to vote in this election.”
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik made the claim on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel.
“House Republicans are going to continue to push the SAVE Act,” Stefanik said, referring to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections.
Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.
“We’re in discussions with the speaker and our colleagues, and Republicans support ensuring that we have legal and constitutional elections,” Stefanik said.
“What is telling … is that nearly every single Democrat opposed the SAVE Act. They want illegals to vote in this election. We need to make sure we have a secure election, so that absolutely will be part of the government-funding discussions. It’s a principle that House Republicans will fight for along with border security.”
“What I do want to say is Chuck Schumer has failed to put anything on the floor when it comes to appropriations to ensure that only legal American citizens are able to vote in our elections, and we have refused to pass H.R. 2 which is the Secure the Border Act to return to President Trump’s effective policies when it comes to securing our border. Kamala Harris owns this border crisis. She’s trying to wipe away her history as Joe Biden’s open border czar. She owns economic national security and the humanitarian open border crisis that her policies created.”
