<p>Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the electoral impact of mass illegal immigration during a Wednesday Senate budget hearing, arguing that the influx of illegal immigrants will skew the allocation of congressional districts and electoral votes.</p>
<p>Kennedy <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqD2B8RyIlw">asked Mayorkas</a> if he could confirm that “the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Mayorkas first responded by saying “I’m not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing.”</p>
<p>“Isn’t it true &#8230; that the number of illegal immigrants that you and President Biden have allowed into our country counts in allocating electoral votes?” Kennedy asserted.</p>
<p>“The notion, Senator, that we intend to allow illegal immigration is nothing short of preposterous,” Mayorkas answered.</p>
<p>“The more people you allow into our country illegally, the more people are counted for reapportionment. And the more people you allow into our country illegally the more people are counted for allocating electoral votes,” Kennedy said. “The only people I know in this country who are better off today than they were four years ago are illegal immigrants, and that’s as a result of your policy.”</p>

<p>Recent <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2959294/voters-illegal-immigration-biden-secret-permanent-majority/">polling data</a> from Rasmussen found that 57% of likely voters believe that Biden is intentionally allowing illegal immigrants to enter the United States in order to establish a permanent Democratic majority.</p>
<p>Elon Musk has vocally warned against the electoral implications of illegal immigration, writing in one tweet that Biden wants to “get as many illegals in the country as possible” and then “legalize them to create a permanent majority &#8211; a one-party state.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Biden’s strategy is very simple:</p>
<p>1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.</p>
<p>2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.</p>
<p>That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective. <a href="https://t.co/B9M5ypUOQB">pic.twitter.com/B9M5ypUOQB</a></p>
