Mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to this bill today with grave. grave concerns. as many of my colleagues have expressed. about the immigration implications and the illegal voter implications of this bill. I have served. now. for over 12 years on the Subcommittee on International Law. Immigration. and Refugees in the House of Representatives and am the ranking Republican in this particular term as I was in the last Congress. I know from studies. and many of my colleagues know. that there are over 11 million noncitizens in the United States today. And by census count alone. not counting many illegals that were not. of course. counted in 1990. we have the potential in this bill. as has been stated. for many illegals and many who are noncitizens who are here legally. permanent resident aliens. and others to get to vote for the simple reason that they can walk into a drivers license shop. apply for the drivers license. and get automatically registered to vote. That is what is going to happen unless they decline. That is far different from what it is today around the country.
