The SAVE America Act, more commonly referred to as the SAVE Act, which was passed by House Republicans, remains stalled in the United States Senate. That hasn’t stopped Florida Republicans from taking matters into their own hands.

Governor Ron DeSantis has officially signed Florida’s own version of the bill, with the stated goal of securing “the security, transparency, and reliability of Florida’s election system.” According to reporting from Newsmax, it will, among other things, require any state ID issued or renewed after January 1, 2027, to display the immigration status of the holder.

That provision is being praised by activists, including William Gheen with ALIPAC, who said: “Anything that can help restore confidence and integrity in U.S. elections is imperative, and that’s what they’re doing.”

He went on to say that massive amounts of fraud and abuse in the American immigration system, paired with mass illegal immigration and nationwide cases of non-citizens voting in our elections, has destroyed public trust—and this is a good first step toward fixing that problem.

Gheen also called on state-level legislators across the United States to follow Florida’s example here. “Every state that we can get to pass this should, but also in states where we don’t believe we can get it passed, we should still get the legislation filed,” he said.
