Lets all give the democrats a big round of applause. And while we’re at it lets all send out a special thank you to the open border republicans.

Not news, but fact....that’s how representation is made. Like slavery in modern times ie it’s used both on representation and cheap labor.

[MizSterious]

Why on earth would we count non-citizens for electing representatives? I didn’t even know we were doing this. This is madness. We just can’t wait to give our country away.

If they are undocumented, how does anybody prove that they are actually there? And, just who is in charge of providing the official count of people who aren’t there?

[mtbopfuyn]

Like DUH! Just look along the borders at the Red/Blue maps of the last election.

I would go even further. I would propose that representation be calculated ONLY FROM U.S. CITIZENS THAT ARE REGISTERED VOTERS.

If you aren’t a registered voter, you shouldn’t get representation.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Marvelous.

Actually, on second thought, I would go even further than my previous post. I would calculate representation by the number of actual voters that showed up to vote in the previous election.

California would appear to have the most to lose if the apportionment of seats in the House were changed to be based only on citizens.

Someone please explain why congressional seats would be based on anything BUT citizens????

[crazyshrink]

A repeat but for dif’t reasons?

The failure to reapportion in 1920 was also a reflection of regional power dynamics. The results of the 1920 Census revealed a major and continuing shift in population from rural to urban areas, which meant that many representatives elected from rural districts resisted reapportionment. Also, the growing number of immigrants entering this country had some impact on population shifts. Delay followed delay as rural interests tried to come up with mechanisms that would reduce the impact of the population shift. Congressmen from rural areas that would lose seats to more urbanized areas simply blocked passage of reapportionment legislation for 9 years.

Illegals get better representation than do the taxpaying citizens of this country.

[RightWhale]

Do illegal aliens count in the Census? If they do, there might be a need to reassess the purpose of the Census.

[AuntB]

Ping!

Question is are we past the tipping point? I’m afraid the America as we know it may not be the same in the future. We may be making a sharp turn to the left. If Hillary gets elected I’m afraid it is all over but the shouting. Just look at states like New Mexico and Nevada. They never come back to be Republican.

[Lizavetta]

No one has done more to cheapen American citizenship than our “leaders”. I despise them.

[Kakaze]

hmm ....If we know where they are to actually "count" them.

Then isn't that admitting we know where they are to either ARREST them, DEPORT them or god forbid BOTH!

[doorgunner69]

This is the 'rat game plan, has been for years. The thought of millions of new 'rat voters (beyond the millions already voting illegally), and extra congressional seats (all 'rat of course), what is not to like for them?

They see the way to a permanent majority, and nothing will stop them at this point.
