A Bala Cynwyd woman got a fake letter notifying her she'd have to house migrants under a nonexistent Biden-Harris progra

A Bala Cynwyd voter got a detailed letter this week from the made-up Pennsylvania Congressional Office of Immigration Affairs notifying her that her household had been selected to house five migrant refugees.

No office exists, nor does such a government-mandated housing program, but the letter, doctored to look like an official government document, provided specific details designed to mislead someone less attuned to a scam — and laid the blame for the fake program at the feet of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during a heated and close election in which immigration has increasingly become a focal point.

“I’m concerned to find out how many people might have actually gotten it and to make sure the record’s set straight so people aren’t getting fearful or angry and deciding to vote another way,” Elizabeth Bennett, 62, said.

The letter says Bennett was selected as a “wayward steward” as part of “US5Ca12-B ... written into Law by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.” No such law exists.

I have been keeping a file I titled, “Voter Fraud “ for years. Going to add this one to it.

Fun Fact: The fraud cases I have found were committed overwhelmingly by Republicans!
