Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, stated on Sunday that the there was disinformation circulating regarding the election. 

According to the Biden official, in addition to allegedly false assertions that have been made about the government's response to recent hurricanes, much of what is being said is "extremely damaging," as The New York Post reported.

"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," Mayorkas said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Sunday.

The Context

A recent poll conducted by CBS News revealed that sixty-five percent of Trump voters believe that the administration of Vice President Joe Biden has attempted to boost the number of migrants crossing the southern border.

These comments were made in response to the findings of the poll that could spell trouble for the current president.

Furthermore, among those who believe that this is the case, approximately three-quarters of them believe that it is taking place because the administration wants noncitizens to vote.

In just the month of September, the number of known illegal crossings along the southern border has reached its lowest point under Biden's administration.

Additional 'Concern'

"The notion that we in law enforcement have sought to intentionally allow individuals to cross the border illegally for the purpose of voting is preposterous, and everyone should condemn that rhetoric," Mayorkas said. "Everyone, regardless of party affiliation."

On Sunday, Mayorkas said he was "incredibly concerned" over the spread of false information following the recent devastating hurricanes that hit the southeast.

"The misinformation — I should say it's disinformation — false information deliberately spread to impact people's behavior and perceptions, it is extremely pernicious," Mayorkas said.

"We have individuals in need of assistance, who are entitled to assistance, who aren't seeking it because of the false information."

Congressional Response

Allegations regarding the intentions of the Harris-Biden administration have been abundant, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had advocated for the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act prior to the adjournment of Congress for recess. This legislation would have required voters to provide proof of citizenship in order to submit their ballots.

Ultimately, that legislation was unsuccessful, and House Republicans publicly expressed their skepticism regarding the reason why Democrats opposed it.

Johnson predicted on "Face the Nation" on Sunday that "noncitizens are going to vote," despite the fact that it is presently illegal.
