The House passed a resolution Wednesday to rebuke cities that allow noncitizens to cast votes in certain local elections.
The nonbinding measure spearheaded by Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) notes that while illegal immigrants are unable to vote in federal elections, they are able to register to vote for school board elections in places like San Francisco.
Democratic leaders scoffed at McCarthy's proposal, saying it's wasteful to use floor time on non-binding resolutions rather than bills that could become law.
"I would point out this is not a law, it’s a non-binding resolution. So there's a clear attempt to try to play gotcha with folks," said Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, at the weekly Caucus press conference.
"And instead of wasting time on a non-binding resolution, I would like to see the Republicans focused on getting the seven unfinished spending bills done, so we can keep the lights on in government," she added.
