Wouldn't you imagine that with tens of millions attempting to crash our border, legal citizens would regard voting privileges as very precious opportunities demanding safeguards?
Although federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, there's no requirement to provide documentary proof.

The SAVE legislation would also have required states to share their voter information with the Department of Homeland Security to validate citizenship of registrants on voter rolls.
Four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, and Thom Tillis — voted against the measure which attached to but voted on separately from a larger nearly $70 billion Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol funding package which was finally signed into law on Wednesday.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the SAVE Act amendment sponsor, responded, stating: "There's no other reason to say you don't have to have an ID. It just makes cheating easier . . .
