Sen. Lee Stands for SAVE America Act: March 22nd

Published | Video Starts at 28:41

That would be an interesting debate. That would be at least a more honest discussion if they were to raise that. But they haven't. They have instead said We don't need the Save America act because... it's already against the law [for non-citizens to vote]. That, Mr. President, under these circumstances is analogous to saying we don't need a law allowing police to issue citations and monitor traffic at intersections governed by a stop sign because it's already against the law in our state to run a stop sign. (28:41–29:41)

CLAIM

Asserts that some argue the Save America Act is unnecessary because non-citizen voting is already illegal.
