  RESOLUTION
  Providing for the condemnation and denouncement of
  socialism in all its forms, and for other purposes.
  Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of
  power that has, time and time again, collapsed into com-
  munist regimes, totalitarian rule, and repressive dictator-
  ships;
  Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass
  murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people
  worldwide;
  Whereas, since the November 2025 New York City mayoral

  (DSA) have run in over one hundred elections in at least
  half the states;
  Whereas the DSA’s ideological tenet labeled ‘‘Democracy for
  All’’ calls for noncitizens and incarcerated criminals to
  vote in American elections;
  Whereas the DSA’s ideological tenet labeled ‘‘A Democratic
  Congress’’ calls for abolishing the U.S. Senate, imple-
  menting ranked choice voting in all elections, and replac-
  ing the two-party system;
  Whereas, on February 19, 2026, the DSA stated ‘‘[t]he
  United States of America has never been a democracy’’;
  Whereas the DSA’s ideology and socialism, in any form, are
  incompatible with American values and the United States
  Constitution;
  Whereas the State of New Jersey registered nearly 6,600
  noncitizens to vote, with reportedly hundreds successfully
  voting in elections;
  Whereas the Trump Administration’s Department of Home-
  land Security engaged in a joint investigation with the
  Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Citizenship
  and Immigration Services (USCIS), and U.S. Immigra-
  tion and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security In-
  vestigations (HSI), which charged four noncitizens with
  crimes connected to illegally voting in Federal elections
  and making false statements while applying for American
  citizenship;
  Whereas, under the leadership of President Donald J.
  Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has made

  (SAVE) service accessible to all states to find and remove

  Whereas multiple States have found documented instances of
  noncitizens illegally registered to vote as a result of ac-
  cess to the SAVE service;
  Whereas, under Democrat leadership, several local jurisdic-
  tions in the United States of America allow noncitizens
  to vote in elections, diluting the votes of American citi-
  zens;
  Whereas the United States House of Representatives has
  passed several bills, including the SAVE Act and the
  SAVE America Act, to require common-sense election in-
  tegrity measures, including proof of citizenship, photo
  identification, and database checks;
  Whereas the American people deserve to be confident that
  American elections are free, fair, and secure;
  Whereas common-sense measures like providing photo identi-
  fication to vote ensure that American elections are se-
  cure; and
  Whereas only Americans should decide American elections:
  Now, therefore, be it
  1  Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
  2  (1) condemns and denounces socialism in all its
  3  forms, including the Democratic Socialists of Amer-
  4  ica, and opposes the implementation of socialist poli-
  5  cies in the United States;
  6  (2) reaffirms its support for free, fair, and se-
  7  cure elections;
  8  (3) reiterates the notion that American elec-

  9  tions are for American citizens only;

  1  (4) recommits itself to upholding the Constitu-
  2  tion of the United States; and
  3  (5) calls for enactment of the SAVE America
  4  Act to ensure election security, increase public con-
  5  fidence in America’s voting system, and close loop-
  6  holes in order to prevent noncitizens from voting in
  7  elections.
