Founding Fathers were "illegal" immigrants, Democrat says
Republicans and Democrats clashed Wednesday during a House Oversight Committee hearing that included Census citizenship questions.

Jamie Raskin said during a House markup session Wednesday that the Founding Fathers were the only "illegals" at the time the Constitution was written.
Raskin, his party's ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, made the remarks as lawmakers discussed House Resolution 7109, also known as the Equal Representation Act, which if enacted would include a citizenship question starting with the 2030 Census and every decennial census afterward.
In February, House Republicans impeached Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas by a 214-213 vote for what they deemed "high crimes and misdemeanors" associated with annually rising numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and flooding the asylum system. The Senate has yet to take up the proceedings.
"Our colleagues, I'm afraid to say, are evincing no familiarity with any of the relevant materials in this field," Raskin said. "The Supreme Court has been very clear about this, and the Founders were very clear: There are lots of people who are not voters who get counted in the Census.
Comment:
Raskin is pandering to the Democrat bigots who have a cultural hatred for the Founding Fathers.
All countries control their border crossings.
No country allows 10 million illegal border crossings.
The Democrat Party's open border policy has always been about creating new Democrat Voters.
The Democrat Party treats American Citizens as their opposition.
If they allow illegal aliens to be counted in the census it will give the greedy corrupt Democrat Tyrants permanent control of the House and America will become a one-party autocracy police state.
You can kiss your constitutional rights goodbye.
