Topic: Immigration; The S.A.V.E. Act, still don't have it and won't get it
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
The conversation surrounding immigration has hit a stalemate with the S.A.V.E. Act, as Charlie James points out that despite the rhetoric, the bill remains stalled and unlikely to pass. Designed to require proof of citizenship for federal voting, the act is being framed by critics as a "no-brainer" for election integrity, yet political gridlock ensures we "still don't have it and won't get it" in the current session. This failure to move the needle on enforcement, coupled with the push for the Dignity Act, has created a sense of frustration among the base who see the GOP as "squishy" and unable to deliver on core promises.
