Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) issued a statement after voting in favor of H.R. 9494, which includes the SAVE Act. The bill amends the National Voter Registration Act to require states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, mandate in-person identification for voting in federal elections, and establish a program to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
"Voting in federal elections is a special privilege granted to U.S. citizens. It is absurd that some of my colleagues would not want integrity instilled in the system they were elected through," stated Van Orden.
He further added, "We just had a transnational gang member and illegal alien brutally assault a woman and her child a mile from my home in Prairie du Chien. He was also found in possession of a U.S. Social Security card. If Border Czar Vice President Harris is going to continue to allow millions of illegal aliens to flood into our country and obtain counterfeit documents, then Congress must utilize every opportunity to secure our federal elections."
