A bill that proposed to let Georgians vote in November on a constitutional amendment banning noncitizens from casting ballots in local elections failed to advance in the state House by Thursday’s critical Crossover Day deadline. House Resolution 780 backed by Republicans, which clarified that only U.S. citizens can vote in Georgia elections, received 98 votes in favor to 61 opposed, which was several votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to place a constitutional amendment referendum on the ballot. Democratic lawmakers called the measure a political stunt since Georgia’s law currently requires voters to be U.S. citizens and state residents...

Nikki Haley, the daughter of two non-citizens, is patently ineligible to serve as President or Vice President under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution The following analysis is a detailed response to critiques of an article I wrote earlier this month that garnered national attention, and was even Truthed by President Trump, shedding light on Nikki Haley’s ineligibility to serve as President or Vice President under the Constitution. My article was published originally on my Substack and American Greatness, and was titled “The Constitution Absolutely Prohibits Nikki Haley From Being President Or Vice President.” By Paul Ingrassia As A...

A call for change in the way congressional districts are drawn has emerged, emphasizing a focus on the population of U.S. citizens alone. The proposition suggests that the Census should specifically count U.S. citizens for the apportionment of representation, contending that only U.S. citizens should be directly represented in the U.S. Congress.

If you think offering migrants luxury hotel rooms, free meals, laundry service, transportation, health care, and immigration lawyers is excessive, just wait until they can vote.Democrats are pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections in New York City, Boston, and other municipalities, and statewide in Connecticut.The number of migrants pouring across the southern border has hit a record high, according to data released on Oct. 21. Illegal immigrant crossings soared 21 percent over the previous month. On a yearly basis, the figure hit 2.48 million.Democrats may feign shock and distress. Don’t be fooled. Democrats see these newcomers as...

Chip Roy introduced a bill Friday cracking down on noncitizens’ ability to vote in federal elections. The Protecting American Voters Act, co-sponsored by Republican Reps. Matt Rosendale of Montana, Pete Sessions of Texas and Michael Burgess of Texas, would equip state officials with the information needed to verify citizenship upon voter registration, according to the bill obtained exclusively by the...

In a deliberate and calculated move, Illinois Democrats are taking advantage of their supermajority grip in the legislature and have introduced legislation to create and expand the rights of illegal aliens who reside in Illinois. The Noncitizens Rights Act, which was introduced last Tuesday by Democrat State Sen. Rachel Ventura, is loaded with legislative language that protects illegal immigrants, including restricting law enforcement or an agency from inquiring about a person’s immigration status if they are working with a government agency and would require law enforcement and government offices to post signs that a person will not be asked about...

We’re reliably told by the Google machine that treason is “the crime of betraying one’s country.” Unless the Left changes the dictionary again, a distinct possibility, an act of treason is precisely what the local government in Washington, D.C., has committed against the country as well as the American citizens living in the city limits. Read on. In October, the D.C. council passed an ordinance to give non-citizens the right to vote in local elections. The D.C. council voted 12-to-one in favor of the measure. The ordinance was given a big ¡Olè! by none other than that profile in courage...

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has ordered his prosecutors to avoid filing criminal charges against illegal immigrants - so that they don't get deported. Woke Gascón's new directive issued this week means prosecutors will have to weigh the effects of their charging decisions on the immigration status of the suspects. Instead, they will be encouraged to seek diversion programs to help avoid offenders, living in LA illegally, from being deported

Before we begin, let’s establish reality. The Democrat Party is not only the most dishonest organization on the planet; Democrats’ ability to lie with impunity is matched only by the height of their hypocrisy, which knows no bounds. This reality is most manifested in their warnings about the GOP “stealing” elections.A recent glaring example came from none other than long-irrelevant Hillary Clinton, who desperately clings to the silly notion that she is still relevant and that Democrats hang on her every (lying) word.As we reported last Tuesday, Hillary delusionally said:Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the...

Today, I will be arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Arizona’s right to defend the Public Charge Rule, which requires noncitizens to financially support themselves in order to become U.S. citizens or to obtain green cards. This rule is necessary to avoid an unfair drain on welfare and public assistance programs throughout the states. Just as I argued Brnovich v. DNC last year to uphold Arizona’s commonsense election integrity measures, this case is about preserving a long-held cornerstone of responsible and sustainable immigration policy for the United States. The Public Charge Rule has existed in some form for...

People who serve on city boards in Denton [greater Dallas/Fort Worth] are no longer required to be U.S. citizens—or even lawful residents. Denton City Council voted late last month to remove a requirement for residents serving on city boards and commissions to be registered voters, allowing noncitizens to participate. The city said the purpose was to include the highest number of diverse members. Noncitizens—regardless of immigration status—can now serve on all city boards, commissions, and committees except for the Public Utility Board (requirements for that board are set in the city charter, so a change must be approved by voters)....

Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, said Friday he plans to introduce legislation to withhold federal funds from cities that permit citizen voting, a day after the New York City Council moved to allow legal residents to cast ballots in local elections. “No city which allows non-U.S. citizens to vote should receive U.S. government funds,” Mr. Rubio tweeted. “Next week I am going to file a bill to make that the law.” The New York City Council voted 33-14 Thursday to extend the franchise for municipal elections to lawful permanent residents who have resided in the city for at least 30...

Last week, I told you about how the New York City Council is on the brink of giving non-citizens with green cards the right to vote in the city’s municipal elections. Today, they will make it official. The council president has stated proponents “have the votes” and this very bad idea will soon become law. The sponsor of the bill, Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, is pleased as punch with the possibility of making “history” this week:“New York City will be making history. After getting the right to vote in local elections as a result of this bill, there is a high...

The New York City Council is planning to pass a bill that would allow approximately 800,000 non-citizens of the United States to vote in local elections. The “Our City, Our Vote” legislation would allow migrants who hold green cards, those who maintain a legal work status in the United States, and DACA recipients to be granted special voter registration forms to vote in local elections. “The legislation calls for training poll workers and community education campaigns to ensure every voter receives the correct ballot,” The New York Times reported. Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez told the Times that the bill is good...

President Joe Biden’s flurry of initial actions, on issues from immigration and race to environmentalism and regulatory policy, favor the ruling class, Woke progressives, and non-citizens. They punish the tens of millions of forgotten Americans of every color and creed who are most deeply impacted by their consequences. The longtime Swamp-dweller’s first days in office can best be summarized as: “unity and healing for me, but not for thee.” One overlooked but significant executive order that demonstrates the administration’s contempt for you, and the principles you hold dear, concerns the census. It suggests that the president not only cares little...

...Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican, introduced this month the Smarter Plan for Immigrant Welfare bill to expand guidelines for eligibility for any kind of welfare or government assistance. Since 1996, when the last major welfare legislation was passed, only immigrants who have green cards, or legal permanent residents, were allowed to request assistance. The Trump administration had proposed a plan to update existing rules so that the government would have the ability to block immigrants who apply for green cards on the basis that they may rely on federal assistance and would be a "public charge" to the government....

Former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said President Joe Biden made America less safe within hours of being sworn-in on January 20. He said the new president’s executive orders ending the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocol and stopping construction of border wall systems places Americans’ lives in danger. “With the stroke of a pen, President Biden made this country less safe,” Commissioner Morgan told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. “It’s pure politics over public safety.” Morgan said he was amazed at how quickly he transitioned on these issues without taking the time to talk to the...

Nevada Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) records suggest that nearly 4,000 legal and illegal aliens cast votes in the 2020 general election, according to a sworn affidavit filed with a state court.As part of legislation enacted by the state’s Democrats, the DMV automatically registers to vote every person who obtains a driver’s license. In Nevada, both legal and illegal non-citizens can obtain driver’s licenses and identification cards.Jesse Kamzol, an expert engaged by the Republican Party as part of an election lawsuit, matched the 110,164 non-citizen records from the DMV, which were obtained through a subpoena by the state’s Republican Party,...
