Last week, Monica Crowley was subbing for Bannon’s War Room and she interviewed Rep. Chip Roy who was promoting the SAVE Act, a bill he sponsored to prevent non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. Roy stated that the SAVE Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. He claimed it would significantly impact election integrity.
H.R.8281 amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes. This bill passed the House on July 10, 2024 and is in the Senate.
My thought in listening to Rep. Roy was that finally he was doing something right. I found the summary of the bill and sent it to my group lists thinking for the first time Roy was on the right track. I was wrong, but let me explain why I have never trusted the man. He is promoting Mark Meckler’s Convention of States which is funded by the Koch organizations, Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council and more. See my recent article. Roy is a close friend of Byron Donalds, who is also backing a new Article V Constitutional Convention. Last October, when a new House Speaker was being considered, Roy nominated Donalds whose top aide and best friend, Larry Wilcoxson, is a felon with a long list of criminal activities.
After I sent the SAVE Act info to my group lists, I received an email from Joanna Martin telling me that I’d better read the full bill and not just the summary because the full bill is poison. Joanna knows what she’s talking about. She’s a retired attorney and a retired Army JAG officer. I just read the full bill and was gob smacked. All bills are written in legalese which makes life difficult for the common man, but when Joanna tells me a bill is rotten, I listen because she’s been proven right time and again.
She clarified this bill for me in easy-to-understand layman’s language.
Section 1 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t grant citizenship status to everybody who is born here. When Congress passed it, they specifically discussed that it wouldn’t make American Indians US citizens even though they were born here. That was because Indians weren’t “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” – they were subject to the jurisdiction of their Tribes.
When the French ambassador’s lovely wife gives birth to a child here, that child is not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” – the child is subject to the jurisdiction of France.
When illegal aliens breach our Borders and invade our land, and then give birth here, their children are not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” because the parents are here illegally. Their children are subject to the jurisdiction of the Country the invaders left. That’s why all of them can be (and should be) deported. The children are not US citizens…
