Not One Democrat Witness Agreed That Only U.S. Citizens Should Vote In Elections

 

In nearly four years that the Biden Administration has been in office, they have refused to enact any sort of border policy that would keep illegal immigrants out of the U.S. and force those already here to go back to their own country.

For nearly four years, the Democratic Party has rolled out the red carpet and handed out freebies such as identification cards, pre-paid credit cards, and health insurance to illegal aliens, incentivizing them to stay illegally in the United States. 

Why? So that illegal immigrants can vote in the next presidential election and elect the candidate who is allowing them to live freely in the U.S. 

And Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Hearing proved just that. 

During the hearing, not a single Democrat witness believed that only U.S. citizens should be able to vote in federal elections. 

Not One. 

Republican Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) asked the witnesses to provide a basic “yes” or “no” answer to a series of questions about non-citizens voting.

In response, the Democrat witnesses refused to say that only citizens of the United States should have the right to vote in elections. 

We don’t have a position about non-citizens voting in federal elections, we believe that’s what the current laws are, and so we’re certainly fighting for everyone who is eligible under current law to vote,” Executive Director of The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Damon T. Hewitt said.

“That’s a decision of the state law but I want to emphasize –” President of Southwest Voter Registration Education Project Lydia Camarillo said.

“It’s a decision of state law as to who should vote in federal elections?” Lee interjected.

“States decide who gets to vote in various elections, and in federal elections, I believe that we should be encouraging people to naturalize and then vote,” Camarillo said.

“Okay, but you’re saying that the federal government should have no say in who votes in a federal election?” Lee pressed.

“I don’t have a position on that,” Camarillo responded.

Director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project Sophia Lin Lakin told Lee, “Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections and our focus is on enabling all eligible voters to be able to vote and cast their ballot.” — Via The Federalist

In a follow-up question, Lee asked the witnesses if people registering to vote should be required to provide documentary proof of their citizenship to register to vote.

All respondents declined to agree with Lee’s question.
