On the recordMarch 18, 2026
10 million illegal immigrants flooded into this country when Joe Biden was President, when the Democrats were in the majority in this body--10 million illegal immigrants. Democrats now want to make those same illegal immigrants have an impact on the outcome of elections in our Nation. Democrats continue to be the party of open borders and illegal voters. Mr. President, last week the Department of Homeland Security arrested an illegal immigrant who had voted in every Federal election since 2008. He voted in the State of Pennsylvania, which, of course, is a swing State where the outcomes are decided on razor-thin majorities. Every single time he voted, he signed a Federal form. The form stated: I am a citizen of the United States. Every single time, he signed. Every single time, he lied. He is not a citizen, and he knew it was a crime for him to vote. He voted anyway because he could get away with it. That is fraud. It is a Federal crime, and it happens over and over and over again. The Democrats enable it. The reason it happens over and over again is that Democrats fight every single effort that we have to stop it. They don't want it to end. They want it to continue, and they want more of it. That includes the bill that is before us today, the SAVE America Act. Yesterday, Republicans put every single Democrat in this Chamber on the record. Now, all of America knows Republicans support voter photo identification; Democrats do not.

I believe you should prove you are a citizen if you want to vote in the United States. I believe you need to show a photo ID when you need to vote. That is what we have to do in my home State of Wyoming. Many States require it.

for 24 years, I practiced medicine as an orthopedic surgeon in Wyoming. And over that time, I know what it is like to practice in a frontier State, a State where huge distances separate us. Medical care is needed everywhere. I know how…
