    Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Chip Roy, R-Texas, said they will only vote for the continuing resolution to fund the federal government beyond the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 if it includes the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voting.

    “It’s not enough to say it’s illegal,” Roy told The Daily Signal, referring to illegal immigration. “We’ve got to be able to stop it.” Roy and Norman are two members of the House Freedom Caucus, which comprises about 40 conservative members of the House.

    Norman and Roy spoke to “The Daily Signal Podcast” at the State Freedom Caucus Summit in Dallas on Saturday.

    The House of Representatives, controlled narrowly by Republicans, will vote on the spending package Wednesday, reports say.
