After the revelation of flyers at a Mexican shelter reminding unlawful border crossers “to vote for President Biden,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas couldn’t tell Congress on Tuesday how his department could safeguard U.S. elections from illegal voting by foreigners.
“We do not oversee the election enrollment process,” Mayorkas told the House Homeland Security Committee. “What we do is enforce our borders.”
The House voted to impeach Mayorkas in February for failure to enforce border laws. House members delivered the two articles of impeachment Tuesday to the Senate, where the Democrat majority wasn’t expected to hold a trial.
HIAS, which originally stood for Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, was founded more than 100 years ago to help Jews fleeing persecution in Europe.
Mayorkas is a former board member of HIAS, as The Daily Signal reported Monday night. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., brought up his involvement during the House hearing, calling it a “bombshell report.”
“They are telling illegal aliens, noncitizens, to come vote for Joe Biden,” Greene said. “This is corruption at the deepest level. As a matter of fact, I would call it treason.”
In a separate House Judiciary hearing, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., asked Attorney General Merrick Garland about the flyer urging illegal aliens to vote for Biden. Clyde held up the flyer.
“That’s what this poster says; [it] reminds illegal immigrants to vote for President Biden,” Clyde said. “So, is the Department of Justice concerned about illegal aliens voting in elections?”
