Mr. Speaker, the right to vote is sacrosanct, and that is why we need to protect it for U.S. citizens. In New York City, a law was passed to allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections. Here in our Nation's Capital, 143 Democrats voted to allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections here in our Nation's Capital. In the State of New York, there is no photo ID requirement. If there was, it should be noted that the State of New York provides drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants. It is the reason that the SAVE Act is necessary, to make sure that we are protecting U.S. elections for U.S. citizens only. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. D'Esposito), a great State.
