evidence: Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claimed Tuesday that Democrats have intentionally "designed" their sweeping elections bill so that millions of undocumented immigrants would be registered to vote. Cruz said at a Senate Rules Committee meeting that the Democratic bill that proposes major changes to voting, campaign finance and government ethics rules, known as the For the People Act, "directs" people "to break the law and register millions of people to vote who are not eligible to vote because they are not United States citizens." Cruz said the bill "would register millions of illegal aliens to vote" – and he said "it is intended to do that" because Democrats think these immigrants are likely to vote for Democratic candidates. [...] Facts First: All of these Cruz claims are false. There is no basis for the claim that the bill is intended to register millions of undocumented immigrants to vote. The bill does propose an automatic voter registration system, but its text repeatedly makes clear that only US citizens would be eligible to be registered under the system. It is just not true that the bill would register anyone at all who interacts with the government or that the bill directs people to break the law to register noncitizens.
