congressional apportionment

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says it is “preposterous” to suggest that President Joe Biden is importing millions of migrants to the United States to inflate political power in favor of Democrats.

Republicans thwarted Democrats’ efforts to win control of state legislatures — in a key Census year, when state legislatures are poised to redraw congressional districts for the next decade.

The Supreme Court said it would settle immigration-related disputes over President Donald Trump’s border wall and the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which replaced the catch-and-release policies that allowed hundreds of thousands of economic migrants into blue-collar jobs.

Three federal judges have ruled that illegal aliens must be counted in congressional apportionment, a setback for President Trump’s administration that had sought to level the playing field in congress for states with few illegal aliens.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing to have illegal aliens counted when apportioning congressional representation.

With only so many House seats available, if California or another confederate, Democrat-run state manages to grab extra House seats because their illegal alien population gives them that edge, those seats are taken from other states.

Trump issued a memorandum that excludes illegal aliens from the counting of persons for congressional apportionment. It was a bold executive action that will do much to restore fairness in the apportionment of seats in Congress and bring it back into conformity with the Founders’ intentions.

New figures from the U.S. Census ahead of the 2020 decennial count suggest that California could lose a seat in Congress for the first time in its history.

About 140 House Democrats voted “present” or against a resolution condemning localities across the United States for giving illegal aliens and noncitizens the right to vote in local elections.
