Press Release: Attorney General Labrador Calls on Congress to Pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act
By Press Release • July 16, 2024The following press release was sent out by the Office of Attorney General Raúl Labrador. Press releases do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of those at the Idaho Dispatch.
[BOISE] – Attorney General Raúl Labrador joined a 22-state coalition of state attorneys general in a letter calling on Congressional Leaders to support and pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (“SAVE”) Act. This commonsense bill will strengthen our electoral process by upholding the rule of law and prohibiting those aliens who are ineligible to vote from doing so.
“Our entire nation has watched the Biden Administration turn a blind eye to illegal immigration and the exploitation, destruction and misery it has caused in so many communities,” said Attorney General Labrador. “This Administration has literally allowed the population equivalent of 13 congressional districts’ worth of illegal immigrants into our country in the last four years. We are equally shocked to see some states and jurisdictions offer up voting rights to those who have come to our country in defiance of our laws.”

The SAVE Act protects elections from the participation of ineligible illegal immigrants and upholds the rule of law. Under the SAVE Act, individuals must provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. The SAVE Act also will help States identify and remove illegal immigrants from their voter registration rolls.
“President Biden’s terrible immigration policies have enabled the worst border crisis in American history,” the letter states. “A congressional report recently concluded that the Biden Administration released 5.3 million illegal immigrants into the United States through ‘parole’ programs.”
And now Biden’s immigration disaster now threatens the security of America’s elections.
The SAVE Act garners broad support among all Americans. It is crucial that we protect our elections from the participation of illegal voters—some of whom are convicted criminals or potential terrorists—who wish to do us harm by changing the fabric of our Republic. The United States House of Representatives passed the bill last week, but the United States Senate has yet to take action.

Good job. ILLEGALS should NOT be able to vote or anything else. What part of ILLEGAL do some people not understand?
A person in this country illegally is already ineligible to vote. This lawless administration actively disregards this. What they should also be ineligible for is all the freebies, welfare, food stamps, free education, housing subsidies. How many would still be flooding our border if these freebies were not there for the asking?
