Illegal migrants are being provided with voter registration forms without requiring proof of citizenship, the NY Post reports.
The forms, available in every state except Arizona - which recently passed a law barring the practice on state forms, are used to obtain welfare benefits, driver's licenses, and in many cases mail-in ballot voter registration forms.
There is currently no federal law requiring proof of citizenship on voter forms, though it is illegal to lie and claim citizenship in order to cast a ballot in a federal election.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ordered states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles and agencies where Americans apply for public benefits - and those offices are required by federal law to hand over the registration forms along with the application papers.
NY Post "While Biden and radical progressive Democrats give ISIS and criminals an app to literally schedule their illegal entry, Republicans must fight any chance of illegal voter registration until we can mass deport," said Rep. Chip Roy, who introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act which was approved by the House Administration Committee last month.
Former Federal Electiion Commission member and manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at the Heritage Foundation, Hans von Spakovsky, presented multiple examples of non-Americans being caught illegally voting in races ranging from local to presidential.
According to Von Spakovsky, if the SAVE Act successfully amends the National Voter Registration Act, proof-of-citizenship laws would "Get passed in a lot of states."
