In a congressional hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faced tough questions from Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) over a controversial flyer allegedly asking migrants to vote for President Joe Biden. The flyer, purportedly from Resource Center Matamoros in Mexico, urges migrants to support Biden for another four years to keep America’s borders open. This explosive revelation has raised concerns about the potential influence of non-governmental organizations on U.S. elections.

The Oversight Project, part of the Heritage Foundation, first publicized the flyer, claiming it was discovered by independent journalists working with the Muckraker website. Even though the flyer has not been independently verified, the implications are alarming. These flyers, allegedly found at Resource Center Matamoros, have sparked a firestorm of controversy, especially since the organization has ties to Soros-funded non-profits operating in the United States.
During the budget hearing, Rep. Bishop grilled Secretary Mayorkas on the DHS’s efforts to prevent noncitizens from registering and voting unlawfully. The congressman raised valid concerns about the millions of illegal entries and noncitizens potentially influencing U.S. elections, citing the alleged flyer as evidence of a systemic problem.
In response, Secretary Mayorkas emphasized that non-citizens cannot vote in federal elections and highlighted the DHS’s focus on enforcing border security. However, the gravity of the alleged flyer’s message underscores the need for rigorous oversight to ensure the integrity of the U.S. electoral process. This incident is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist within the current immigration system and its potential impact on the democratic process.
