Joe Biden accidentally gave away the game when referring to illegal aliens as “voters” before correcting himself.

“It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or Hispanic – Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens,” Biden said in an interview with a Spanish radio show last week.

Biden says Hispanic immigration to the U.S. is “a little bit like back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland”:

“The Hispanic community is part of the future of America. Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our future.”

Biden also claimed the massive influx of approximately 10 million illegal aliens who’ve entered the U.S. under his open-border policy is the “only reason our economy’s so good.”

“One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation. Other nations are, we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world,” Biden said.

Following the telling interview, the White House in a comment to Fox News insisted that illegal aliens do not vote in elections.

“Only American citizens can vote in federal elections,” a White House spokesperson said. “As fact checkers across the board have made clear, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.”

But GOP lawmakers recently pointed out that no mechanisms currently exist to prevent illegal aliens from voting in U.S. elections

“Congressional Democrats insist that the SAVE Act—which requires proof of citizenship to establish eligibility to vote in federal elections—is unnecessary because federal law (18 USC § 611) already prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections,” Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) posted on X Friday.

“Those making this argument ignore a glaring problem: the government officials who register voters and conduct federal elections aren’t allowed to require proof of citizenship.”

“Anyone—even an illegal alien or other non-citizen—can register to vote in federal elections, just by checking a box and signing a form. This is all on the honor system. No proof of citizenship is required,” he noted.

That’s why Sen. Lee and Rep. Chip Roy cosponsored a bill called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act last week that would require proof of American citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

“Due to the wide-open border that the Biden administration has refused to close, in fact, that they engineered to open, we now have so many non-citizens in the country that if only one out of 100 of those voted, they would cast hundreds of thousands of votes,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said during the bill’s unveiling.

“We are here for the proposition supported by the vast majority of the American people: that only citizens of the United States should vote, that we should have documentary proof, that we should have a system to guarantee that only citizens of the United States vote in federal elections where we have the clear authority under the Constitution of the United States, under our laws as Congress, to set the terms of those elections,” he added.
