July 17, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging the Senate to follow the House’s lead in passing the SAVE America Act:

“According to the Department of Homeland Security, and as highlighted in President Donald Trump’s July 16 televised address to the American people from the White House, over 250,000 non-citizens are illegally registered to vote in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada alone. It is illegal for non-citizens to register to vote, and yet it is a common enough practice to be detectable using available voter, Social Security Administration and immigration files and databases, and yet there is no legal mechanism in the Help America Vote Act to compel states to remove illegal aliens from voter rolls similar to how the deceased and those who change addresses are purged. The SAVE America Act will fix that for good, additionally requiring citizenship verification upfront to register to vote, and guaranteeing voters have to present photo identification to vote. The House has already done its part, and it is time for the Senate to finally follow its lead and get this critical legislation to President Trump’s desk. This is the United States of America, not the United States of the World where everyone from wherever is allowed to vote. To have a free country, we need secure elections and to have secure election, illegal aliens and other non-citizens must be removed from the voter rolls.”
