GOP senators look to tie crackdown on noncitizen voting to must-pass spending bill

Lawmakers expecting stopgap spending bill to be necessary to avoid government shutdown.

Will the GOP cave again ?
Why is it even necessary to introduce a bill to stop illegals from voting ?

It’s a federal crime for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. It’s also a crime under every state’s laws. Just enforce our LAWS !!! It’s also a deportable offense for noncitizens to register or vote.

Several Republican lawmakers have called on their colleagues to support attaching a bill that would safeguard elections and require proof of citizenship to vote on an upcoming stopgap spending measure due at the end of next month.

Prominent conservative Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on X this week pushing for the bill, which would require proof of citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections, to be tethered to a spending bill extension to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the fiscal year.

“There isn’t a good argument against attaching the SAVE Act to the September spending bill,” Lee said in one of several posts promoting the idea.

I will believe it when I see it otherwise it’s nothing more than windy blow jobs from lips of service.

Another dog and pony show with the GOP backing down . Every spending bill the dummycrats introduce gets passed without any restrictions .

If anyone is dumb enough to think the dems opened our borders without planning on illegals voting also believe Mark Fuckleberg’s fabricated half-ass apology for swinging the election.

Well , well ,well , the GOP caved AGAIN .

‘If we shut down, we lose,’ House Republican says

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., unveiled his plan to avoid a partial shutdown in a private call with House GOP lawmakers on Wednesday morning .
Meanwhile, two sources familiar with the Tuesday House GOP call said questions were raised about what Johnson’s next step would be if the Senate sent back a “clean” CR with no attachments, and concerns were aired about how a possible shutdown would affect vulnerable Republicans.

When/if Trump wins, I would love to see Johnson ousted as Speaker. I don’t care what it would look like. I don’t care that it would two Speakers ousted. I want a hard nosed Consevative Speaker at the helm. I understand he/she would have/need to work with/make some concessions with the Dems, but the shit that goes on right now is just unacceptable.

Who would that be in your opinion? Gaetz? MTG?

I can not think of many who fits that bill. Maybe that fella from Tennessee whose name I can’t quite recall, but he would be a good one.

Neither of them. While I like what they have to say, I don’t think they are effective in Congress. They are just mouths that roar with no bite. I don’t want one of the hard Right extremists for the job. I want a level headed, intelligent, solidly Conservative person that can work with others… including the Left. I like Chip Roy, but I don’t know that he’d be interested in the job. I’d have to do some research on it to come up with a few. :wink:
