Feenstra Supports Legislation to Ban Illegal Immigrants from Voting in American Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act. This legislation would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections and ensure that states remove noncitizens from their voter rolls.

“Illegal immigrants should never be allowed to vote in American elections. It is a privilege reserved only for American citizens,” said Rep. Feenstra. “That’s why I voted for legislation to require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and to ensure that states remove illegal immigrants from their voter rolls. We must ban illegal immigrants from voting in American elections.”
