A bill that would have required proof of U.S. citizenship for voters in federal elections has been repealed by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson’s choice represents a startling betrayal of both the American people and conservatives.
On Wednesday, lawmakers are anticipated to cast votes on Johnson’s proposal to maintain government operations.
According to Fox News, “the new measure is likely to spark fury among the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and its allies, as it is closer to what Senate Democrats and the White House had called for than his first plan.” However, with only a few weeks till election day, the majority of Republicans are cautious about the fallout.
Johnson vehemently supported the SAVE Act in May, arguing that it was imperative to prevent illegal immigrants from casting ballots in American elections.
It’s obvious that our electoral system deserves to be safeguarded. As concerned leaders of citizen groups and organizations that care about the integrity of our system and our elections, as well as as members of Congress, it is our duty,” Johnson stated at the time.
“It is our responsibility to see that this is done. You should absolutely be concerned that illegal foreigners may vote in 2024, even if you weren’t worried about drop boxes, ballot harvesting, mail-in votes, or 2020. In order to protect our federal elections and guarantee that only citizens have the authority to decide on American elections, he continued, it is imperative that we enact the SAVE act.
Therefore, Johnson not only gave in on the SAVE Act, but his deal with Democrats will also keep government funding at the levels set by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The budget has not been reduced by any amount.
Speaker Johnson and his political theater played the people of America. And after the election in November, there’s a very good probability the Republicans will lose control of the House. The Great Tribulation In Play.
