Rep. Roy issues statement on the passage of the SAVE Act

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement after the House passed his bill, H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act:

“Radical progressive Democrats are engaged in a wholesale attack on citizenship and what it means to be an American. Through open borders, lawlessness, and attacks on this nation’s founding principles, the Left is ripping at the very fabric that holds this nation together.

We will only be able to keep this republic as a republic as long as our citizenship as Americans remains meaningful. That’s why I introduced the SAVE Act in the first place, and it's why the People’s House passed it today.

I am grateful for Speaker Johnson's leadership and my Republican colleagues' support for getting this across the finish line. Today's passage is just the beginning, however. We must push forward, pressure the Senate, and keep up the fight for what makes this country great and what it means to be an American citizen.”
