   Senators take aim at Biden's support for

   Two Republican senators are taking aim at the Biden administration over   
   its support for the Washington, D.C., Council bill giving illegal   
   immigrants and non-citizens, which they say would include members of   
   the Chinese Communist Party residing in the city, the right to vote in   
   local elections.   
      
   Sens. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark., are urging the   
   Senate to take up a joint resolution that would stop the bill in its   
   tracks, following the House of Representatives' passage Friday of a   
   bipartisan resolution of disapproval on the D.C. measure.   
      
   Prior to the House's passing of H.J. 24, the resolution disapproving of   
   the D.C. Council's move, the Biden administration issued a memo stating   
   its support for the council's bill and its opposition to the   
   resolution, calling it a denial of "true self-governance," and evidence   
   that D.C. "deserves statehood."   
      
   "The Biden administration should be ashamed," Britt told Fox News   
   Digital. "This is a flagrant failure of the president to uphold his   
   oath of office to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the   
   United States.' Quite simply, he has chosen to pander to the far-left   
   wing of the Democratic Party instead of advancing America’s interests."   
      
   "Voting in our country is a sacred right that must solely be limited to   
   American citizens. This is simple common sense," she said.    
      
   The House passed H.J. 24 in a 260-162 vote. Despite Democratic   
   leadership urging its members to oppose the resolution, 42 of the   
   party's members joined Republicans.

   Why would a president of the US want to allow Chinese Communists and   
   illegal aliens to vote?
