Remember that congressional districts and federal money is allocated by population (NUMBER OF BODIES), not legal population, not by eligible voters, or registered voters.
How many congressional districts would CA lose if 5 or 6 million of its population were taken away??? Could they possibly go to red states like WY or NE???
One reason DeLay is hated by Dems almost as much as Bush was that he used the illegals in Texas to reapportion the population into 6 new congressional seats, and turned them into Repub seats
The democrats are definitely aware of that fact and it needs to be changed. If they get their amnesty schemes passed they could wind up in power for years to come, taxing and spending us into the ground. I can't believe so many in the GOP are blind to the obvious threat.
