Congressman Brandon Gill, R, (TX) on The SAVE Act

quote:

---

Right now, the most urgent issue before Congress is securing our elections.

That’s why I’m focused on passing the SAVE America Act, legislation that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and voter ID at the ballot box.

After four years of open borders under the Biden administration, millions of illegal aliens entered our country. If Congress fails to act, many of them could end up participating in our election system – something we’ve already seen in past elections.

The American people understand the stakes. So does President Trump. Ensuring that only American citizens vote in American elections is one of the most basic responsibilities of a functioning Republic.

That’s why I’ve taken a firm position: until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, I will vote no on all Senate legislation sent to the House — except funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Right now, the American people don’t want show votes in the Senate or political games. They want this bill signed into law.

And I’m not alone in this position. Many of my House Republicans colleagues are prepared to take the same stance — refusing to advance Senate legislation until the Senate acts to secure America’s elections.

Many of us recognize that this is one of the defining political issues of the moment.

If Republicans fail to deliver something as common-sense as proof of citizenship and voter ID, it will be very difficult to look voters in the eye this November and explain why.

The American people gave Republicans the House, the Senate, and the White House to fix the problems created over the past four years.

Now is the time to act.

The Senate should pass the SAVE America Act and send it to the President’s desk.
