Thousands of undocumented individuals living in the U.S. could potentially influence the outcome of the upcoming U.S. elections, according to Mike Johnson, R-La.

During his weekly press conference on Wednesday, Johnson highlighted that several House GOP members won their elections by a small margin, including Rep. Marianette Miller Meeks, R-Iowa, who won her first election by six votes.

Johnson stated that if a small percentage of the millions and billions of illegals who entered the border under Kamala Harris' policies were to participate in an election, they could potentially sway the outcome and impact the majority of the House.

"The presidential race could be impacted by it, as it is extremely urgent matter."

The House will vote on a bill that extends federal funding for six more months to prevent a government shutdown on October 1st, along with a requirement for voter registration proof of citizenship.

The SAVE Act was rejected by the Democrat-controlled Senate and White House, and President Biden has threatened to veto Johnson's funding plan.

The SAVE Act has been criticized by opponents as being based on xenophobia and redundant, since it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.

The SAVE Act is being promoted by Republicans as an enhanced security measure to prevent illegal voting, with Johnson and other Republicans arguing that years of progressive policies have made it easier for illegal immigrants to obtain voter registration forms.

"Numerous states have already conducted audits, revealing thousands of illegals on the voter rolls. This is a significant issue because some of our elections are won by narrow margins, as is widely known in this room and the media."
