HRES 1490
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

September 1, 2026.

Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has, time and time again, collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and repressive dictatorships; 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 election of a Democratic Socialist, candidates for public office affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (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, implementing ranked choice voting in all elections, and replacing 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 Homeland Security engaged in a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (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 the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) service accessible to all states to find and remove ineligible noncitizens from state voter rolls; Whereas multiple States have found documented instances of noncitizens illegally registered to vote as a result of access to the SAVE service; Whereas, under Democrat leadership, several local jurisdictions in the United States of America allow noncitizens to vote in elections, diluting the votes of American citizens; 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 integrity 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 identification to vote ensure that American elections are secure; and Whereas only Americans should decide American elections: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States;

(2) reaffirms its support for free, fair, and secure elections;

(3) reiterates the notion that American elections are for American citizens only;

(4) recommits itself to upholding the Constitution of the United States; and

(5) calls for enactment of the SAVE America Act to ensure election security, increase public confidence in America’s voting system, and close loopholes in order to prevent noncitizens from voting in elections. Attest:

Clerk.
