SCOTUS Allows Citizenship Verification in Voting

The Supreme Court's decision allows states to utilize the federal SAVE database to confirm the citizenship status of voters, a move seen as crucial for preventing illegal immigrants from casting ballots.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney highlighted that once a ballot is submitted, it is irreversible and unverifiable, emphasizing the importance of verifying eligibility prior to the casting of votes.

John Solomon of Just the News characterized the ruling as common sense, stating that the SAVE database is a valid tool to ensure foreigners do not vote illegally.

She argues there is currently no obligation for the DMV to confirm whether an applicant is an eligible citizen.

Tenney advocates for a comprehensive cleanup of voter rolls to ensure only qualified citizens are registered, citing a New York Court of Appeals ruling that affirmed only citizens can vote in state elections.

Congresswoman Tenney expressed concern regarding the 'red carpet' treatment of President Xi Jinping, suggesting that diplomacy with China has been overly accommodating.

She argued that China needs to be coerced rather than persuaded to cease hostile activities such as spying on American citizens and supporting U.S. adversaries like Russia and Iran.

Tenney believes that behind the diplomatic displays, there are serious issues that require a firm stance from the United States.

Congresswoman Tenney described the relationship with China as adversarial, particularly in intelligence matters, despite China's role as a significant global player.

She advocated for maintaining high-level diplomatic channels while confronting China's economic manipulation and cheating practices.

Tenney highlighted that President Trump's approach aimed to keep these issues at a high diplomatic level while acknowledging the seriousness of China's actions undermining global economies and U.S. interests.

Congresswoman Tenney criticized China for failing to fulfill agricultural purchase agreements made during the Trump administration's first term.

She pointed out issues with China routing goods through countries like Vietnam to circumvent U.S. tariffs.

Tenney emphasized that continuous pressure, including tariffs, is necessary to ensure China complies with trade agreements and fair market practices.

Congresswoman Tenney accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of prioritizing relationships with China and the European Union over the United States.

She cited Canada's import of 72,000 Chinese electric vehicles as a significant economic concern, highlighting the impact on North American trade.

Tenney also claimed Canada mislabels Chinese goods as Canadian to bypass trade regulations, urging a focus on resolving policy disputes rather than just rhetoric.

Congresswoman Tenney suggested that President Trump should consider lowering tariffs on other nations to create competitive pressure on Canada.

She believes this strategy would compel Canada to negotiate more favorably on trade and address issues like the protection of local farmers from foreign subsidies.

Tenney advocated for refocusing on shared conservative values between the U.S. and Canada and emphasized the importance of protecting her district's farmers from unfair competition.
