Our US Constitution is an interesting read. When you think of when it was written, it had to accommodate:

1) The fact that most Americans got off the boat, or were children of those who did.
2) The fact that we had just thrown off the rule of a Monarchy we were all subjects of.
3) The fact that human slavery was still in practice in many American states.

So, we had the Three-Fifths Clause for slaves and other things that look archaic, by today’s standards.

I don’t, actually, find it so unreasonable that people who are going to live here and have children here are represented. Especially if there is not a plan in the world of getting rid of them.

The stupid GOP should have considered this when inviting them. It is a good reason to take immigration seriously and not let in any more.

I have recently begun to think that Blue states are happy with what Abbott is doing and happy that he is picking up the bus fare.

Diversion.

It would require a constitutional amendment. Something they would dare not propose.

We all knew this was one of the major reasons behind it.

They should also write legislation that says no judge or government agent may order the expenditure of US funds for the benefit of any person illegally in the US.

“what about 2017?”

No kidding. These people plan ahead. They could have had TONS of legislation all ready for Trump’s signature on January 21, 2017.

Biden had all of his EOs queued up and ready to sign on Day 1 that undid a lot of what Trump accomplished.

That tells you all you need to know.

That's what they would like you to think. The population of a state should be a count of its citizens.

Won’t be a problem if all the states just turn over their illegal alien ‘parolees’ to the District of Columbia, aka, Washington, DC. It’s the closest place that doesn’t have state sovereignty issues.

Deport them and they won’t have to worry about passing this useless law.

You are 100% correct! I didn’t think that I could despise the Republicans so much, but they’re actually getting close to Democrat levels.

Since we’re not even allowed to COUNT illegals in the Census, how could this bill possibly work?

The same way "climate science" works. Mathematical models.

It seems to me that this would require a
Constitutional Amendment instead of just a bill.
And the Senate will never get 60 votes for such an Amendment.
Leaving the only option available being
an Article V Convention of States.

I think that is a wonderful item that should be included. Contact Tennessee Senator Bill Haggerty & tell his people the verbiage that they should include in the bill. 🙂 👍

I didn’t even know that illegals counted in the population. They shouldn’t! I’ll have to read it and get back to you. So far my Representatives haven’t been particularly conservative. Although they ran that way.

Waste of time

Stop illegal aliens from entering. No negotiations.

Send all home who are here.
