Dear Representative Roy,
On behalf of AMAC Action, the advocacy affiliate of the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) – with over 2 million members nationwide, I am writing to express our strong support for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
Under President Joe Biden, our country saw a unprecedented influx of millions of illegal immigrants. This inflow not only poses national security risks but also threatens the integrity of our electoral system. Some of these non-citizens are granted access to driver’s licenses and other benefits in several states, creating opportunities for illegal voter registration in federal elections. Moreover, in certain jurisdictions, non-citizens are even permitted to vote in local elections, directly opposing the principle that only American citizens should participate in federal electoral processes.
The SAVE Act presents a crucial solution to this pressing issue and thwarts efforts by some to manipulate our electoral system for political gain. By amending the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to mandate documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity in person for individuals registering to vote in federal elections, your legislation reinforces the fundamental requirement that only citizens may participate in our democratic processes.
Furthermore, the SAVE Act’s directive for states to establish programs to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls, coupled with granting states no-cost access to pertinent federal databases, underscores a proactive approach to safeguarding the sanctity of our elections.
AMAC Action wholeheartedly supports your efforts to advance the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Your commitment to upholding American values and strengthening our democracy is commendable, and we stand ready to assist in any way possible to ensure the swift passage of this critical legislation.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Mangione Jr.
Senior Vice President
