I rise today in support of the rule and the bill which will restore integrity to our election system. It is outrageous and inexcusable that voters do not have to show proof of citizenship in order to vote in an election. Illegal immigrants are populating this country in an unprecedented number. and it is unjust and unfair to citizens of this country that noncitizens have had a hand in electing Federal officials. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy. It baffles me that there are no laws in place to protect this sacred practice from noncitizens. H.R. 4844 has proper timelines and implementation guidelines in place for the proof of citizenship requirements. and if there are added costs to local governments. there certainly are a few appropriation years between now and 2008 for funding to be provided. So listen up.
