New Evidence Exposed By House Republican Reveals That NYC is Trying to Register Illegal Immigrants to Vote

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a House Republican representing part of New York City, has obtained evidence that city officials are trying to help get illegal immigrants registered to vote. She announced that she had obtained a copy of a contract between New York City’s Department of Social Services and Homes for the Homeless, a nonprofit contracted to build emergency migrant shelters as the border crisis depletes the city’s resources.

In an appendix of the contract, a copy of which was obtained by Fox News Digital, the city appears to require contractors to provide copies of voter registration forms for migrants at their shelters.

The city has denied that it requires migrant shelters to provide voter registration information to illegal immigrants. A section of the appendix states that contractors who have “regular contact with the public in the daily administration of its business” must “provide and distribute voter registration forms to all persons together with written applications for services, renewal, or recertification for services and change of address relating to such services.” The contractor should be prepared to provide forms written in Spanish or Chinese and shall obtain a sufficient supply of such forms from the City.

Another section of the same appendix appears to forbid the shelter from inquiring about immigration status unless specifically required. However, a spokesperson for the NYC Department of Social Services told Fox News Digital that the provision applies to “eligible clients” in shelter housing. The spokesperson cautioned against lending any credence to such dangerous misrepresentations of the City’s response to this humanitarian crisis.

The City Council passed a law in 2021 to allow noncitizen residents to vote in local elections, but it was overturned by a New York state judge in July 2022. Malliotakis was among the lawmakers who sued the city over the local ordinance, which the city appealed along with migrants’ rights groups.
