             REMOVING NONCITIZENS FROM EXISTING VOTER ROLLS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, only Americans should vote in American 
elections. That is why I rise in support of the Safeguard American 
Voter Eligibility or SAVE Act, introduced by my friend from Texas (Mr. 
Roy).
  This bill would require States to obtain proof of citizenship, in 
person, when registering an individual to vote and also requires States 
to remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls. These proposals are as 
commonsense as it gets.
  Unfortunately, many on the other side disagree. While falsely 
alleging that the 2016 election was stolen due to foreign election 
interference, they ignore the very real threat of foreign election 
interference that currently exists.
  Maybe if President Biden didn't hold the door open for more than 9.5 
million immigrants to enter our country illegally, this bill wouldn't 
be necessary. Because he did, it is essential to pass the SAVE Act to 
uphold the integrity of our elections.
