Recognizing that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

September 20, 2018

Mr. McCarthy submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

RESOLUTION

Recognizing that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens.

    Whereas voting is fundamental to a functioning democracy;

    Whereas the Constitution prohibits discrimination in voting based on race, sex, poll taxes, and age;

    Whereas it is of paramount importance that the United States maintains the legitimacy of its elections and protects them from interference, including interference from foreign threats and illegal voting;

    Whereas the city of San Francisco, California, is allowing non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to register to vote in school board elections; and

    Whereas Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in elections for Federal office: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the House of Representatives recognizes that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens.
