Senator Claims Democrats Want Illegal Immigrants to Vote Despite Citizenship Requirements
Theo Von
#666 - Sen. John Kennedy
What was said
"Not all of my Democratic colleagues, but many of my Democratic colleagues, whether they will admit it or not, they want illegal immigrants to be able to vote. And no, they're not American citizens."
Kennedy accused Democratic senators of supporting illegal immigrant voting rights as a strategy to gain new voters, despite citizenship requirements. He said he cannot get a single Democratic vote for the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship and valid ID to vote in federal elections. Kennedy stated roughly 80 percent of Americans support the measure but Democrats claim it suppresses votes.
