There is a reason Democrats want illegal immigration - the 2020 census. Liberal states have sanctuary laws to encourage illegals to come to their states. More people translates to more congressional House seats. 5 million illegals in California translates to 7 congressional House seats. That is all Democrats care about.
“More people translates to more congressional House seats.”
Ahhh, I hadn’t thought of that. It’s true that there is a fixed number of House seats that are apportioned to individual states based on their respective populations. It never occurred to me that that count would include illegal immigrants, but I’m inclined to think that’s correct.
