               SUPPORTING PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP FOR VOTERS

  (Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, in America, you can't 
drive a car, board a plane, or buy fireworks without an ID proving that 
you are who you say you are. Why are folks allowed to vote, to decide 
the future of this country, without proving that they are citizens 
first?
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the House passing the SAVE Act 
just moments ago. It is common sense that only American citizens should 
be able to vote in American elections.
  Congressman Chip Roy's SAVE Act will close election loopholes by 
ensuring that every State requires voters to provide proof of 
citizenship before registering to vote.
  When noncitizens go to the ballot box, the electoral system is 
compromised and American votes are diluted.
  The American people have the right to determine the future of our 
country, and we refuse to be disenfranchised by illegal votes. I was 
proud to support the SAVE Act when it passed the House today.
