                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing that allowing illegal immigrants and noncitizens the right 
   to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of 
                        United States citizens.

Whereas voting is fundamental to a functioning democracy;
Whereas the Constitution prohibits discrimination in voting based on race, sex, 
        poll taxes, and age;
Whereas it is of paramount importance that the United States maintains the 
        legitimacy of its elections and protects them from interference, 
        including interference from foreign threats and illegal voting;
Whereas New York City, New York, has enacted a law in violation of the 
        Constitution to allow certain noncitizens who reside in New York City 
        for only 30 days to be eligible to vote in local elections for mayor, 
        city council, and others;
Whereas mayors incentivize the mass migration of tens of thousands of 
        individuals taking advantage of the Biden administration's open borders 
        by offering free housing and other services; and
Whereas the Constitution and Federal law prohibit noncitizens from voting in 
        elections for Federal office: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes that 
allowing illegal immigrants and noncitizens the right to vote devalues 
the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States 
citizens.
