Democrats Just Gave Away the Real Reason They’re Fighting Immigration Enforcement
PJ MEDIA ^ | 02/05/26 | Matt Margolis

Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away.

In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of “reforms” to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters.

I don’t see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand:

Protect Sensitive Locations -

Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.

Polling places?

They went out of their way to include polling places right alongside hospitals, courts, and churches. There is only one thing that happens at polling places that would matter to illegal immigrants, and it is not the bake sale.

Democrats have insisted for years that illegal immigrants cannot and do not vote, and that the whole issue is a right-wing myth. If that is true, then why is “polling places” even on their list of protected zones for immigration violators?

No one accidentally adds “polling places” to a policy letter being negotiated at the leadership level. This is deliberate. It gives away what they are worried about... and what they are counting on.

“Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations”

They learned this from the Gazan arabs.

Democrats just admitted they think illegal aliens need to be protected at polling places. Why exactly would illegal aliens be at polling places?

And the Dems don’t want to pass the SAVE ACT, that requires documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) for voter registration in federal elections.

Anyone can put two and two together to know WHY the Democrats are doing this.

The Invisible Coup by Peter Schwiezer explains it very well. There is a 30 clip on youtube and many interviews with him discussing what he wrote in his book.

They don’t want to lose their voters.

It’s also about representation in the House of Representatives. If House seats are determined by US Census counts, and illegal aliens are being counted in the US Census. Then, illegal aliens are propping up House seats for Democrats.

If Trump deports all their illegal aliens, the Democrats will lose seats in the House.

The chances of Trump, or any other president, deporting 11 million people is around zero. If Dems don’t get some of their own demands, the legislation simply won’t pass.

The Dems parked their “illegals” in certain areas. And that changed the number of Dem seats in the House.

"House seats are determined by US Census counts"

Which is precisely why illegal aliens, or even resident aliens here legally, should NOT be counted in the census.

I agree completely. The Census counting issue needs to be resolved at the same time. Trump tried to do so be executive order last time he was in office, but it was blocked in court. Need to try again.

Vote harvesters voting on behalf of the dead, non-citizens, movers, vacant houses, vacant lots is more scary than the Black Panthers.

hell., stopping ICE in polling places is more important to them than doing it anywhere else - there’s pictures of “immigrants” going from precinct to precinct on buses.

Adding illegal aliens to the census gives the Rats at least 10-20 more seats in the House.
