Embattled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed over the weekend that it was “disinformation” to claim that the Biden-Harris administration was intentionally trying to bring illegal aliens into the U.S. so they could vote in U.S. elections.
Mayorkas, who had falsely claimed for years that the U.S. southern border was secure, made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan when she noted that the majority of Republicans believe that the Biden-Harris administration is intentionally allowing illegal aliens into the country.
“Our CBS polling shows 65% of Trump voters believe the Biden administration is trying to intentionally increase the number of migrants at the border,” she said.
She continued, “And among the people who do believe that, three quarters of them say it’s because the administration wants them to vote, and the Speaker of the House just told us that he thinks noncitizens are going to vote.”
Mayorkas claimed that the belief was a “powerful example of disinformation.”
“There is no facts underlying these assertions,” he claimed, despite illegal immigration into the U.S. sharply spiking once the Biden-Harris administration took office.
“They are extremely damaging,” he claimed. “It causes people to lose confidence in the integrity of the election system, and we need people in positions of authority to actually communicate accurate information to the voting public.”

The Biden-Harris administration issued 94 executive orders on immigration in its first 100 days in office that undid the Trump administration’s border policies.
“And the notion, the notion, that we in law enforcement have sought the, to intentionally allow individuals to cross the border illegally for the purpose of voting is preposterous,” he claimed.
“And everyone should condemn that rhetoric, everyone, regardless of party affiliation,” he added.
