EXCLUSIVE: Senator Mike Lee tells Jack Posobiec 'nobody would defend' Joe Biden vetoing the SAVE Act

Special guest Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joined Jack Posobiec on Wednesday's episode of Human Events Daily during which they discussed the SAVE Act, something Lee said was a "top priority" for him after Joe Biden has allowed near 30 million illegal aliens into the United States.

He explained that because of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, a non-citizen could apply for a driver's license, even though they were prohibited from voting. This, however, allowed them to "check a box" and indicate they could vote.



"That's a problem, and it's a perfect storm, especially with how President Biden has deliberately added so many non-citizens to our population illegally, just in the last few years," Lee said. The SAVE Act was passed by the House later Wednesday.

When asked by Posobiec what Congress could do if President Biden vetoes the act, Lee responded, "It's one thing for the President of the United States to say, I don't like it. I would veto it. It's quite another thing to actually veto it."

"Number one, it's already illegal to vote in federal elections if you're a non-citizen, and number two, this would add excessively to delays," Lee explained. "That doesn't withstand review. It doesn't withstand any kind of analysis in the first place as just saying it's already illegal to vote. By that same logic, there's no need for laws, I don't know, requiring a photo ID to buy beer and cigarettes to establish that you're not a minor, that you're not underage. Nobody would defend that. And that's exactly the same argument, the same reason they're using here."
