When President Joe Biden’s White House released a policy statement rejecting the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, it correctly noted that “it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections.” 

This is true, so far as it goes, but it does not go very far. It is illegal for noncitizens to vote, but laws need to be enforced, and often, to do that, they need to be made stronger.
