@SenatorBanks@TheJusticeDept Common sense is not pardoning Jan 6 insurrectionists who threatened to hang Mike Pence and had the tools with them to do so!
@WaterOtter61@SenTedCruz That is true. The license does not prove that you are a citizen. You would need a passport or a birth certificate. Good luck getting one of them in a limited period of time.
@DaveMcCormickPA If the bill was just requiring voter identification it would pass in a minute. As you are aware, the bill includes other things that would definitely lead to voters not being able to vote in the 2026 election. Be honest!
@RedWavePress The ID is not the issue. Obtaining a passport or birth certificate in time to vote in the primaries and general election in 2026 is the issue. For someone who does not have either of those things, it takes a long time to get one. That is the issue.
@EricLDaugh If I have photo id and don’t have a passport or birth certificate could I vote in the midterm elections? The answer is NO! I would need to have a passport or birth certificate as well. It takes a while to get that. Maybe the bill should go into effect in 2027.
@SenHydeSmith Is the ID really the issue? The real issue is the proof of citizenship that could take a long time to obtain if someone does not have one. Passports are expensive and take weeks to get. Birth certificates take a long time to get as well.
@RepLuna I understand that you feel strongly that the bill should pass. Where is the evidence that their no votes are meant to protect illegals? Where is the evidence that illegals are voting in our elections.
@GOPMajorityWhip@HouseGOP Couldn’t agree more!! The problem is that many of those being deported are not terrorists. What is your response to that fact?
@Sec_Noem @ICEgov That is good! What about the law abiding US citizens who are being illegally removed from the streets. What about people who are being held for days and days for no reason. That should not be happening!!
@SenTomCotton Senator, the way ICE is handling their business in Minnesota does not warrant any additional money. You know exactly why the Dems are not voting for any bill that includes additional funding for ICE. Separate ICE funding from the rest of the bill!
@gregkellyusa Whether he was a great person or not is irrelevant! How he was murdered is what is relevant. He was absolutely murdered by ICE. The videos clearly show that.
@SenRickScott@DHSgov Maybe more people would agree with you if the ICE agents were actually finding criminals and bad people and deporting them. Unfortunately, they are harassing citizens, using excessive force and detaining people without cause.
@TrumpsHurricane BTW, the requests in the letter seem like blackmail to me. He responded the way someone who was being blackmailed might respond. He ignored it!
