non citizens should not be voting in our elections, if that is allowed the whole world can vote in our elections

They're not.
"Based on extensive research, official state audits, and empirical data, noncitizens do not vote in U.S. elections on any significant scale, and there is no evidence that noncitizen voting has altered federal or state election outcomes.
Brennan Center Audit (2016): Researchers surveyed election officials across 42 jurisdictions (representing 23.5 million votes cast in the 2016 general election). They identified only 30 total suspected cases of noncitizen voting referred for investigation"accounting for approximately 0.0001% of votes cast in those areas. 40 of the 42 jurisdictions reported zero known cases.
Heritage Foundation Fraud Database: The conservative Heritage Foundation maintains a public database of election fraud cases going back decades. Across hundreds of millions of votes cast between 2003 and 2022, their database lists fewer than 30 total convictions or enforcement actions nationwide involving noncitizens casting ballots.
Cato Institute Findings: Studies by the libertarian Cato Institute concluded that illegal noncitizen voting is statistically minimal and far too rare to sway election outcomes.
State Audits: Recent audits of voter rolls by state Secretaries of State (including states such as Georgia, Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina) consistently show that noncitizens who register or attempt to vote represent a tiny fraction of one percent of registered voters, with actual ballots cast being even rarer.
Summary
In summary, while administrative missteps or isolated illegal votes occasionally occur, empirical studies, state audits, and conservative and nonpartisan research groups all arrive at the same conclusion: noncitizen voting in U.S. elections is statistically negligible and lacks the scale to affect federal or state election results."
Feel better now?
