Mayorkas Urges to Condemn Rhetoric, Denies Biden-Harris Admin Allows Illegal Immigration for Voting

Oct 13, 2024, 03:40 PM

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has strongly refuted allegations that the Biden-Harris administration is intentionally allowing illegal immigration to influence U.S. elections. Mayorkas described such claims as 'preposterous' and a 'powerful example of disinformation' that undermines public confidence in the electoral process. He urged Americans to 'condemn the rhetoric' suggesting such intentions. Critics argue that the administration's actions, including 94 executive orders in the first 100 days to dismantle Trump-era border security measures, suggest a deliberate strategy to increase illegal immigration. The debate has intensified as the 2024 election approaches, with accusations that the administration is using the refugee program to facilitate illegal entry for electoral gains.
