00:00The gentlewoman is recognized.

00:01Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:03As the co-chair and founder of the House Election Integrity Caucus,

00:06I rise in support of the SAVE Act,

00:08which will safeguard the right for every American citizen to vote.

00:12And we must have proof of citizenship in order to vote.

00:16Since President Biden took office,

00:17there have been over 9.7 million illegal immigrant encounters across our nation,

00:22threatening our communities, our national security,

00:24and now the Democrats are attempting to undermine our elections.

00:28There are over 2 million so-called gotaways.

00:32Many states, including New York, allow illegal immigrants to get registered to vote

00:37and also to have driver's licenses.

00:40There's no requirement, they're on their honor,

00:43to prove whether or not they're actually citizens of this country.

00:46Article 2 of the New York State Constitution sets forth in Section 1,

00:51every citizen shall be entitled to vote in every election.

00:55That is citizens.

00:56So if in order to protect the sacred right to vote,

00:58we have one citizen, one vote in this country.

01:01And yet Democrats oppose the SAVE Act

01:04because they want millions of illegal immigrants they allowed into our country

01:07to vote in order to undermine and manipulate the outcome of our elections.

01:12This will undermine our sacred right to vote,

01:14the most profound expression of our self-governance.

01:17I yield back.
