 23, KRMG's Michelle Lin. House representatives passing the SAVE Act Wednesday requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. House Speaker Mike Johnson. When the illegals go to the local welfare office or the local government office and they sign up for benefits, which most of them do, they give them the registration card. All you got to do is check a box. Are you a U.S. citizen? We know that many illegals have already done that. The House passed legislation. The vote was 221 to 198. KRMG Newstimes, 541.
