Joe Morelle: “Mr. Speaker, I do want to say my distinguished colleague from Florida…”

On the recordFebruary 11, 2026

Mr. Speaker, I do want to say my distinguished colleague from Florida conveniently left out one part of what this bill does, which is to share your personal, private data with the Department of Homeland Security. From this point forward, if this bill were to become law, every single person, when they register to vote, all their data will be sent to the Department of Homeland Security--not the department of elections, not some other department that has control over the election process--the Department of Homeland Security, which includes ICE, whose people have now killed American citizens on American streets. If that is what Americans want--I am pretty sure Americans do not want that. Somehow the gentleman forgot to mention that that is what this bill does.
