EXCLUSIVE: Texas Republicans Press Biden-Harris Admin Over ‘Turning A Blind Eye’ To Non-Citizen Voters

A coalition of Texas Republicans led by Reps. Randy Weber and Chip Roy released a letter Wednesday hammering the Biden-Harris administration for failing to provide requested citizenship data regarding voter registration.

Roy and Weber, along with 12 GOP colleagues, asked U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ur Jaddou to comply with Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson’s request for assistance verifying non-citizens are not being registered to vote, according to the letter obtained by the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. The request came after Republican Gov. Greg Abbot of Texas purged 6,500 potential noncitizens from voter rolls in August, to which lawmakers claim Jaddou has a “moral imperative to assist the state” in clarifying registration data.

The original deadline for Nelson’s request was Oct. 2, but she has yet to receive a reply from the federal government, according to the letter.

“Public confidence in elections is a necessary cornerstone of any representative government,” Roy told the DCNF. “That confidence must be earned through diligence and transparency.”

“The Harris-Biden administration’s refusal to provide Texas with crucial information is a clear dereliction of duty,” Weber said.

The current administration has “consistently dismissed” concerns about non-citizens voting, claiming that the “current laws to prevent noncitizen voting are working,” according to the letter. At the same time, the administration is “preventing” states like Texas from properly enforcing those laws by withholding the citizenship data the state requested.
