A group of Republican Senators and commentators have raised concerns over the inclusion of illegal immigrants in the congressional district apportionment and the electoral map. Senator Hagerty criticized the practice as a means for Democrats to maintain their seats amid a mass exodus from Democrat-run cities. Senator Hyde-Smith voiced that counting illegal immigrants for apportionment unfairly diminishes US citizens' status and introduced the Equal Representation Act to address this issue. Senator Risch argued for the inclusion of a citizenship question in the Census to prioritize American citizens' voices in elections. Joel Berry, a commentator, highlighted the influx of 6 million illegal immigrants in 3 years and claimed that the absence of citizenship verification for voting could lead to a 'stolen' election in 2024. Senator Marsha Blackburn also commented that illegal immigrants should not be counted as U.S. citizens, suggesting that blue cities are using their presence to secure congressional seats and federal funding.
Blue cities are welcoming illegal immigrants to keep congressional seats and federal dollars. Illegals should not be counted as U.S. citizens. https://t.co/4JY10yzvhn
Shipping illegals into America’s urban communities is back firing on Democrats. https://t.co/aZpU24tUhT
6 million illegal immigrants in 3 years + no citizenship verification to vote = stolen election 2024. Congress MUST pass citizenship verification as a requirement for voting.
Democrats want to count illegal migrants in the census to skew congressional redistricting in their favor. The Census Bureau must include a citizenship question to keep American values on track & prioritize the voices of American citizens in our elections. https://t.co/zYb18yi8pJ
Counting illegal immigrants for apportionment unfairly diminishes US citizens' status in everything from congressional representation to access to federal programs. It’s not right. The Equal Representation Act would help right this wrong & begin to restore trust in our democracy.
It's unconscionable that illegal immigrants are counted toward congressional district apportionment & our electoral map. While people continue to flee Dem-run cities, desperate Dems are back-filling the mass exodus with illegal immigrants so that they don't lose their seats.(1/2)
