Rep. Carter speaks on the House floor

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong and unapologetic support of the SAVE America Act - legislation that defends the integrity of our elections and makes one principle perfectly clear: U.S. elections are for U.S. citizens ONLY.

"This is not extreme; It's common sense. Citizenship matters. Sovereignty matters, and Americans alone must decide America’s future.

"Yet radical Democrats have abandoned this standard. New York City has allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. Washington, D.C. has done the same—granting political power to foreign nationals in the capital of our nation.

"Georgia’s own senator Jon Ossoff, who once said that voter ID was 'right and appropriate,' now supports his party as reframing it as 'voter suppression'.

"The law didn’t change. Public opinion didn’t change. What changed was he – and other Democrat politicians like him – realized that illegal immigrants could no longer vote to keep Democrats in office.

"They oppose this bill because it chips away at their voting base; plain and simple.

"For years, conservatives warned that this was the radical Left’s goal, and we were mocked for it.

"But that’s exactly what Democrats are doing right now: fighting to allow illegal aliens to vote. This is not only grotesquely unjust, but it waters down the meaning of American citizenship.

"By passing this bill, we reaffirm a simple but sacred truth: American elections belong to Americans. No loopholes. No exceptions. No apologies."
