House Republicans are pushing legislation against voting by noncitizens in an effort to sow doubts about election outcomes and target immigrants perceived to have no right to vote in the US.
Legislation includes rolling back a D.C. law allowing noncitizen residents to vote, requiring states to verify citizenship with proof like birth certificates, making claims of illegal voting by noncitizens.
Pushed bills are unlikely to pass Senate but serve to highlight Republicans' claims of widespread illegal voting by noncitizens, echoing Trump's unfounded suspicions undermining election integrity.
Debate exists on granting voting rights at municipal level to foreign nationals despite immigration status, noting contributions to local communities such as taxes, economy, and education.
