One less Blue Illinois Electoral Vote too. Could be awarded to a red state.

“The truth is finally starting to come out. If illegals avoid the census, Democrats lose money to buy votes with.”

They also lose congressional seats, and electoral votes. By counting illegals in this way the Democrats have been diminishing the representation of real citizens.

It’s possible but I’m not holding my breath. In Mpls-St Paul, we have a lot of former Illinoians up here and trust me, they’re not red state types.

Many of them have brought Illinois’ (in particular Chicago’s) problems with them - gangs, guns, welfare dependency, crap attitudes, etc.

I had a census taker come to my front door and besides no people living in house, how much we made, and our level of education. I told them to leave after answering the first question and shut the door.
