Majority of registered voters, 75%, oppose noncitizens voting in U.S. elections and favor policies making it harder for them to vote.

According to recent surveys conducted by Napolitan News Service, a significant majority of registered voters, amounting to 75%, express opposition to the participation of noncitizens in U.S. elections, advocating for stricter policies that would hinder their ability to vote. This sentiment is further underscored by the perception that Vice President Kamala Harris bears responsibility for the ongoing border crisis, a role she has been assigned as the designated border czar by President Joe Biden. In one of the polls, an overwhelming 87% of registered voters not only reject the notion of noncitizens voting in federal elections but also support the implementation of a photo identification requirement for voters, with only 9% opposing this measure and a mere 3% uncertain about their stance. Additionally, a notable 54% of respondents expressed concern that a substantial number of illegal immigrants might be permitted to vote in the upcoming elections, despite existing federal laws that prohibit such actions. Conversely, 36% of those surveyed do not believe that noncitizens will participate in the November elections, while 10% remain undecided. In a related survey, 54% of participants acknowledged that Harris has been tasked with managing the challenges at the southern border. 

According to recent polling data, 19% of respondents expressed skepticism regarding the effectiveness of Vice President Kamala Harris in her role, despite President Biden's assertion during a press conference in March 2021 that she was indeed fulfilling her duties. Additionally, 26% of those surveyed indicated uncertainty about her performance. In terms of perceptions surrounding illegal immigration, a significant plurality of 47% of participants believed that the issue would exacerbate if Harris were to ascend to the presidency, while only 20% anticipated a decrease, another 20% expected the situation to remain unchanged, and 12% were uncertain. In stark contrast, 60% of respondents felt that illegal border crossings would diminish if former President Donald Trump were to be reelected, with only 13% predicting an increase, 15% believing the status quo would persist, and 11% remaining unsure. These insights were published three months prior to the upcoming November election, coinciding with a notable surge in illegal border crossings since the Biden-Harris administration took office, which exceeded 12.5 million by July, marking a record high in U.S. history for a single administration. This figure includes approximately two million individuals who successfully evaded capture, as reported by The Center Square, highlighting a significant gap in federal transparency regarding these statistics. Law enforcement officials have raised alarms about the potential security risks posed by these undocumented individuals, emphasizing the challenges in accurately assessing the total number of illegal immigrants currently residing in the country. Furthermore, various polls, including those conducted by The Center Square Voter’s Voice Polls, reveal that a majority of registered voters advocate for the deployment of U.S. military personnel to the southern border, prioritize border security, disapprove of Harris's role as border czar, contend that the border crisis has intensified under her oversight, and support the border security initiatives implemented by Texas. These findings emerge in the wake of House Republicans passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, introduced by U.S. Representative Chip Roy of Texas, aimed at preventing non-citizens from being registered to vote in federal elections. This legislative move followed reports of several Democratic-led local jurisdictions attempting to register noncitizens, with some, such as the District of Columbia, enacting measures to permit noncitizen voting in local elections, as noted by The Center Square. In response, House Democrats were urged to oppose the bill, and the majority did, with only five Democrats joining Republicans in its passage.

A group comprising 23 attorneys general has urged the Senate, which is under Democratic control, to advance a particular legislative measure; however, this initiative has not progressed. In a separate effort, another coalition of 24 attorneys general has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to adjudicate significant cases aimed at affirming the prohibition of noncitizens from participating in U.S. elections. These appeals come in the context of numerous states actively working to eliminate thousands of noncitizens from their voter registration lists, as reported by The Center Square.
