Open Borders means more electoral votes for the Dems

Immigration experts are raising the alarm about how the increasing flow of migrants illegally crossing into the U.S. may significantly impact states' representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College.

Shortly after taking office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation of the U.S. population. As a result, the apportionment of House seats and, therefore, electoral votes for presidential elections, could be swayed as migrants continue to pour over the southern border.

Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Illegal immigrants aren't even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of apportionment really is outrageous."

There are an estimated 16.8 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. as of June 2023. Therefore, because every House seat represents 761,168 residents on average, the total number of illegal immigrants account for roughly 22 seats in the House.

In addition, electoral votes for presidential elections are distributed to states based on how many representatives in Congress they have. Therefore, a state with a larger number of House seats has greater influence during presidential elections every four years.

It's much worse than you think.
The Democrats are not compassionate for third world immigrants.
The Democrats are greedy for power and access to your money.
This mass illegal alien invasion is going to give the Corrupt Democrat Cult permanent power and they are going to loot our country until there is nothing left to steal.

For years I have been telling those complaining that by ignoring the elephant in the room (employers) that it would come back to bite them and they would regret not doing something.

And here we are.

We need to go back to the intent of the Founding Fathers and have the Electoral College delegates (and also Senators) appointed by the State Legislatures.

Nice try, but if those migrants congregate in Texas and Arizona, they are adding to Electoral Votes of Red States

True. If the illegals didn't get jobs or welfare they would return home, as many already are. That said many immigrants will make better citizens than 'regular' Americans.

This was signed in 2021 and now there is outrage?

Not all immigrants are liberals.

I have no problem allowing some to become legal.

We need to return to quotas and vet every immigrant carefully.

We also need to try Biden and the Dems for treason.

They did nothing that those before didn't do. They just went bigger which again, I said was going to happen.

And here we are. Still, you won't demand for politicians to address the biggest problems. Employers offering them jobs to come here.

Federal law dictates the border should be closed from illegal immigration

It's just that simple, why isn't it done?

I say let 8 billion people live in the USA. NOW WE ARE ALL AMERICAN!!

Federal law title 8 mandates that anyone presenting themselves and asking for asylum has the right to a hearing

The Senate tried to change that law with a bipartisan bill and Republicans filibustered it

 

[Rambunctious]

Illegals should not be counted in any census unless it will help us find and deport them....

A hearing while they reside outside of the United States... because federal law also denies them the right to work and so they can't make the claim that they can fend for themselves and won't be a ward of the state.....

Whoosh...

The OP is correct in that the 14th Amendment refers to the number of "persons" in each State (for Congressional and Electoral College representation purposes). This unfortunate term was borrowed from the original Constitution (when there were not yet any "citizens") in order to repeal the 3/5 slavery clause. There was never any intent to include temporary or illegal residents for these representational purposes.

Try those employers for treason as well.

The ruling class only enforces laws that favor them.
