                               RESOLUTION

 
Providing for the condemnation and denouncement of socialism in all its 
                     forms, and for other purposes.

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.
