Speech #1050167453

Chairman. I rise in strong support of this amendment. What we are talking about is the elimination of what we Californians who are aware of what is going on call the illegal alien voter registration act. which was called by this body the motor voter act. This amendment makes real the alleged purpose of the bill that we are talking about. We are talking about reforming the political process to ensure that election results will reflect the will of the American people. Well. there is nothing better that we can do to accomplish this end than to protect the rights of our own people by making sure that the election process and the sanctity of the ballot is protected. to ensure that American votes are not made meaningless by the votes of millions of noncitizens. many of whom have come here illegally. Back in 1993 when the Democratic Party controlled both Houses of Congress. they established rules that went far too far to open up the system. and thus they left the system opened up to incredible abuse. We are trying to bring balance back to that. ensure the sanctity of the ballot for the will of the American people.
