The claim departs from the passage: the post says non-citizens are voting and that arrests are being made, but it never says Democrats allow this, and its only political attribution is to Republican leaders such as Thune and the president.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… One was to tackle voter fraud, and that was the Save America Act. It's not perfect, but it would have taken out a lot of the fraud. Now we're worried about fraud heading into the midterm elections. Arrests are being made. Non-citizens, illegal aliens, are voting. They're being caught, they're being indicted, they're being arrested. There's no question. Okay, there's no question.

What we found

Contradicts. Snopes (published 2026-10-20) rejects the allegation that the Democratic Party brings in immigrants to vote for Democrats, finding that noncitizen voting does not occur in numbers that could change US election results.[1]

Contradicts. NPR's fact check finds no evidence for the claim that Democrats are purposefully letting migrants in so they will vote, and says only a minuscule number of noncitizens vote illegally in federal elections.[3]

Context. The claimant's passage says non-citizens are voting and that arrests and indictments are occurring, but it does not attribute this to Democrats; it criticizes Republican leadership (Thune, McConnell, Johnson) for failing to address voter fraud.

Context. PolitiFact and BBC evidence describe noncitizen voting as rare, though illegal, and say claims of widespread noncitizen voting are wrong.[2][4]

Context. The sources show that some noncitizen voting cases exist and are prosecuted, so the narrow factual kernel of the post is not disputed, but the Democrat-attribution in the extracted claim is not in the post.[1][3]
