Even not voting, migrants give Democrats 14 more electoral votes
Washington Examiner ^ | 04 Nov 2024 | Paul Bedard

The influx of millions of migrants has shifted political power in the nation to Democrats, even though they are not allowed to vote...

While they may be considered noncitizens, illegal and legal migrants are counted by the census, and those numbers are used to shift congressional districts, which affect electoral votes, according to two new studies from the Center for Immigration Studies....

“Immigration shifts political power in the United States — without a single immigrant having to vote. Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and thus votes in the Electoral College are apportioned among the states based on each one’s total population — not by the number of citizens or legal residents,” CIS said.

In two reports just issued, CIS said the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats and led to a gain for Democrats of 14 seats and electoral votes, which are based on House seats....

This is why there was such a big to-do about including a citizenship question on the census questionnaire in 2020...

We can change that before the 2030 census, with (a) a ton of deportations after we get an immediate SCOTUS ruling that Biden’s granting “parole” status to all wannbe-refugees was unconstitutional, and (b) a successful SCOTUIS ruling that whike the census may count “residents” apportionment is based on citizens. As only citizens can vote, it only stands to reason that Congressional representatives are only representing citizens.

“Legal migrants?” Legal migrants are unicorns.
They are all foreign nationals here illegally.

Yep. The Scotus so much as ordered illegal alien representation in Congress.

Why the hell are they counted for anything except deportation?

Trump should DEMAND a list of voters. ANY name not a citizen should be IMMEDIATLY DEPORTED with only the clothes on their backs. NEVER allowed to return.

Realistically, that's not going to happen. The best we can is to build the border wall. 50/50 chance of that happening if Trump gets elected. He has four years to do it. Not enough time.

Just as big an issue is the “miscounting” of the 2020 census- blue state like NY/RI and a few others were over counted while Florida and Texas was under counted.

I believe that right there was a 6EV count in favor of blue states.

“In two reports just issued, CIS said the 2020 census shifted 17 House seats and led to a gain for Democrats of 14 seats and electoral votes....”

What sort of drivel is this?

Reapportionment as a result of the 2020 Census saw a shift of SEVEN seats, not 17:

TX +2
CO +1
FL +1
MT +1
NC +1
OR +1

States which lost 1 seat each were CA, IL, MI, NY, OH, PA, WV.

The best anyone can claim is that if illegal aliens were not included in the Census, then perhaps more seats WOULD have been shifted (i.e., CA would have lost more than 1) but that’s just speculation and the reality is that nothing like “17” seats/electoral votes moved around after 2020.

Sorry, but the Constitution says nothing about only counting “citizens”. However it would be nice for the Census to separate those who are here legally from those who are not, which of course is why liberals howled when Trump wanted that question included. Who knows what eeeevil things Republicans would do with that data, if they had it?

Vance discussed this issue in the Rogan interview.

Deportation of illegals and sealing the border is the only good solution—regardless of the exact numbers.

Maybe, maybe not.

Several weeks back I tried to tally up Trumps Electoral Votes based on the states he won in 2016. I came up with +5 more Electoral Votes for Trump, and I think your figures confirm this.

One thing that sucked about the 2020 Reapportionment was that there was an undercount of population in Red States, that info only came out AFTER the census count (I’m sure the undercount was an accident, wink, wink). If Red States had gained another 2 or 3 Electoral Votes, Trump might not even need WI-PA-MI.

“Deportation of illegals and sealing the border is the only good solution—regardless of the exact numbers.”

I’m all for that, but when we’re not allowed to even ask a simple question on the Census, then any more grandiose plan would seem to be doomed.

Even trying to get them to self-deport by taking away benefits (to which they are not “entitled” in the first place) probably won’t work because some judge, somewhere, will say it violates their 14th Amendment “right” to our tax dollars.

Once the camel’s nose is under the tent.... then here comes the rest of the stinking animal and good luck getting it out.

You are correct about the Census Bureau rigging the count for their (political) side and against our side.

Here’s the story which came out once that malfeasance was revealed:

I remember former Congresswoman, Candace Miller - R- Michigan, talking about this on the old Lou Dobbs show years ago.

They cheated. Florida should have had 2. And TX should have 3.

This is so effed up. Should not be permitted to occur, it should be illegal.
