Trump Cites 278,000 Noncitizen Voters, Renews Push For SAVE America Act
The July 16 address paired that DHS figure with China's harvesting of voter files on 220 million Americans since 2020.
- DHS's own count of noncitizens on voter rolls rose to about 278,000, above Mullin's 250,000 estimate.
- Trump's address cited China's acquisition of voter files on 220 million Americans since 2020.
- Rep. Mike Collins noted 83% of Americans already support voter ID requirements.
Why it matters: Each higher count arrives on the same night the Senate is asked to act.
