Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz's latest bill targets illegal aliens that attempt to unlawfully vote in U.S. elections, making it a felony punishable by fines and prison time.
Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"President Donald Trump is right: illegal aliens who vote in our elections should be in jail," Gaetz told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It is unacceptable that illegal aliens get lighter sentences for defrauding our elections than U.S. citizens."
"My legislation, the JAIL for Alien Voters Act, will create parity in punishment for those who commit voter fraud, regardless of immigration status. It’s common sense that U.S. citizens should be the only ones voting in U.S. elections," he said.
