Trump posted on Truth Social:

If Republicans don’t get the SAVE Act, and every ounce of it, they should not agree to a Continuing Resolution in any way, shape, or form. Democrats are registering Illegal Voters by the TENS OF THOUSANDS, as we speak – They will be voting in the 2024 Presidential Election, and they shouldn’t be allowed to. Only American Citizens should be voting in our Most Important Election in History, or any Election! A Vote must happen BEFORE the Election, not AFTER the Election when it is too late. BE SMART, REPUBLICANS, YOU’VE BEEN PUSHED AROUND LONG ENOUGH BY THE DEMOCRATS. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN. Remember, this is Biden/Harris’ fault, not yours!

Non-citizen voting is already illegal in every state and federally. A 2016 study by the Brennan Center found that out of 23.5 million ballots studied, only 30 were suspected non-citizen voters. Project those numbers across the entire federal electorate, which would be between 100 and 150 non-citizen ballots cast.

A non-citizen who votes in a federal election faces up to five years in prison and deportation. Non-citizen voting isn’t a thing in the United States, so why is Trump talking about it?

Donald Trump is trying to lay the groundwork for claiming that non-citizens stole the election from him.

1. GOPers were never going to make the funding plan easy before election. They'll milk it until

they fear a backlash. Then, sign a short-term plan until December or so.

3. If they milk it too long their congresspeople will lose.

Democrats will win. Yipee!

[Trueblue1968]

2. Trump is a liar. Tens ofthousands of people who should not vote are not being registered

[EarthFirst]

4. Non citizen voting is part of his immigration trope

He knows it; and we know it.

However it plays to the fear and intimidation factor that is his the substance of his immigration platform.

TSF knows he cannot run on any other issue so he uses immigration as a fear tactic.

It’s dangerous and violent.

5. As Obama once said

"Please proceed."

[MissouriDem47]

6. What a great idea

If Republicans shut down the government this close to the election it will cost them at least 20 seats in the House. Even Mitch McConnell has said it would be, "beyond stupid".

7. Shutting down the government has never worked in Republicans favor,

maybe this time will be different.

[BlueKota]

8. They never learn from their past mistakes.

Look at how many times they have tried trickle down economics, despite how spectacularly detrimental it has proven to the economy.

9. The republican-russian candidate is also screwing up the Gaza peace potential

just like the republicans intentionally pissed on the border bill.

sickos - out for themselves, not for America.

10. Yes. The felon has reportedly been

hounding house MAGAS for at least a week to shut down government behind the bogus issue of non citizen voting because it's part of the plan to create enough chaos before the election to give them the excuse to challenge the results.

Mary Trump herself claims he's counting on his reich wing STACKED courts to hand it to him regardless.

Might not be wise to try it though, I think.
