Today, Representative Dale W. Strong introduced the Deport Illegal Voters Act in Washington. The proposed legislation aims to expedite the deportation of non-citizens convicted of illegal voting by categorizing it as an aggravated felony under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

"Anyone who is not an American citizen and casts a ballot in this election should be first in line to be deported. We must secure our elections and ensure participation in our elections is reserved for American citizens and American citizens only," stated Congressman Dale W. Strong.

The announcement comes amid ongoing concerns about border crossings and illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris Administration. There have been reports of voter registration forms issued to non-citizens and instances of non-citizen voting across the United States, including Alabama. Notably, a Guatemalan national residing in Alabama was charged by the Department of Justice for using a fraudulent U.S. identity to vote in multiple elections, including those held in 2016 and 2020. Additionally, charges were recently filed against a Chinese national for voting in Michigan's 2024 Presidential election.

Strong emphasized that interference in elections undermines American citizens' rights and could erode trust in the electoral system. "People should stop and think twice before interfering in our elections. The Deport Illegal Voters Act sets a consequence fitting for those committing a federal offense," he added.

The bill seeks to safeguard election integrity by ensuring only eligible voters participate.
