The origin of black slaves in early America being 2/3 of a person by law, is often misunderstood. It's purpose was to increase the power of slave states by giving them more representives in congress. It is/was as simple as that. The same can be said for Democraps attempts to give rights to illegal citizens, it is a blatant power play.

Forget all the bleeding heart stuff about the plight of illegals. Since every aspect of human behavior is already legislated and regulated by democrap socialists, they have no other way to grow their power except by manipuilating population numbers. Meanwhile, republican business interests look the other way in search of ever cheaper sources of sweat shop labor.

They elite power brokers are bankrupting the United States and destroying American society for their lust of power.

Can the Feds intervene to stop this? An injunction perhaps?

"The origin of black slaves in early America being 2/3 of a person by law, is often misunderstood. It's purpose was to increase the power of slave states by giving them more representives in congress."

Actually, counting blacks as less than a full person weakened the slaveholding states, giving them fewer representatives. The 2/3 compromise is cited by the anti-slavery people as their way of ensuring the southern states didn't get too strong so slavery could eventually be ended.
