I have written before that one of the motivations that the democrats have for open borders is to prevent losing congressional representation when citizens leave their “blue” states for “red” ones. Since the Census is used for congressional representation purposes (and federal funding) the dems adamantly have opposed the census asking citizenship. Tennessee senator Bill Hagerty has led the charge on the senate side and Clay Higgins of Louisiana has spelled out the details on the House side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_1CpRfh_zE
Now a congressional committee has forwarded a bill with 100 co-sponsors that requires a citizenship question on the census. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., and Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, introduced the bill in the House and Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., introduced the bill in the Senate. Of course every democrat on the committee voted against it and it likely will not even be brought up for discussion in the senate. But the democrats are no longer denying the fact, One member from New York actually said “I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes.” https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/04/12/this-bill-would-prevent-illegal-immigrants-from-swaying-congressional-representation/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell
This is important stuff. As Higgins said in his speech in the House, the amount of illegals in the country equals 60 congressional districts. Mind you that these cannot be new districts because the number in the congress is set at 435 (of course the congress can change this number and I am surprised that the democrats haven’t tried). If citizens are fleeing the democrat run states and cities, then congressional seats will shift as well unless offset by illegal inflow. Note that in the last census, some democrat states did not lose as many seats as was forecast by their declining population. Also some republican run states did not gain as many seats. No one asked at the time if this was due to the influx of illegals to “sanctuary” cities and states.
Recall that Donald Trump as president called for a citizenship question on the census and was promptly labelled a racist. His commerce secretary Wilbur Ware was to comply but was stopped by democrat litigation. That litigation went to the Supreme Court where the then court’s four liberals were joined by John Roberts to stop the citizenship question from appearing. With today’s makeup of the Court, perhaps the question could be added even if Roberts joins the remaining liberals if Trump regains the White House.
