A recent legislative effort led by Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) to exclude illegal immigrants from the national census count for the purpose of congressional reapportionment was unanimously blocked by Senate Democrats. This move has sparked a debate around the impact of counting illegal immigrants on the distribution of political power in the United States, with critics accusing Democrats of harvesting electoral power through Biden's open border policy. Proponents of the bill argue that including illegal immigrants in the census count, estimated at 45M under the Biden administration, gives states with larger populations of illegal immigrants more clout in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College, potentially leading to 60 extra congressional seats and thereby violating the principle of one person, one vote. This issue has highlighted deep divisions on immigration policy and its implications for electoral power in the U.S.
Part 3 Elon Musk says Democrats allow illegal immigration to build political power—@elonmusk said that the counting illegal immigrants in the Census expands Democrats' power in the apportionment process https://t.co/G407WJybba #BidenBorderCrisis
Part 2 “An effort by Senate Republicans to stop non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, from being counted on the census for the purposes of apportionment for House seats and the Electoral College…failed to gain the support of a single Democrat.” https://t.co/W9x9Kei2Qs
Part 1 Stop Allowing Noncitizens To Determine Congressional and Presidential Representation “Democratic-controlled states have gained congressional seats by welcoming and harboring illegal aliens.” https://t.co/C8dCEp8Cdg #BidenBorderCrisis
ULTERIOR MOTIVE: @elonmusk noted that the congressional reapportionment process gives states with larger populations of illegal immigrants more clout in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. https://t.co/WsXl7pfEQ4 https://t.co/pJyMRmFOHz
Senate Democrats have unanimously defeated Sen. #BillHagerty’s proposal to bar #IllegalImmigrants from being counted in the national census, warning that their numbers go toward informing the apportioning of House seats and the Electoral College. https://t.co/uJiH7Fq8Fm
In a unanimous decision, Senate Democrats blocked a legislative effort by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) to exclude illegal immigrants from the national census count. https://t.co/UeD8aVYQF1
Under Biden, the estimates are as high as 10 million people that've come into our country. That'd be 13 extra congressional districts if you allocated them correctly. This is a tremendous amount of power that Dems are bringing in, & it disproportionally affects states like TN. https://t.co/5kYJF6vMYy
Democrats using illegal aliens to gain greater voting power in their states completely violates the one person, one vote principle here in America. https://t.co/0NVdKQQ8EI
Democrats are harvesting electoral power on the backs of these illegal aliens. That's what's happening here in America; that's the motive behind the crime at our border. https://t.co/sc8GieS1P0
1. If illegal aliens are counted for determining political power, then more illegal aliens = more political power. 2. Biden has released record numbers of illegal aliens into U.S. communities. 3. Every Dem voted against my amendment to stop this corrupt practice. I wonder why? https://t.co/275W8bzVUq
.@ElonMusk is spot on. I cosponsored @SenatorHagerty’s amendment because the census is the foundation for representation in our political system & including non-citizens in the count is concerning. Illegal immigrants & non-citizens should not be used as pawns by the Democrats. https://t.co/cfh1KXXmZN
With Biden’s open border policy waving in 12M illegal aliens, we estimate there are 45M illegals in America now. Thats 60 Congressional seats. The left doesn’t want a citizenship question on our Census. They say it’s racist. Really, it’s because the Democrats don’t want…
The Conservative party’s biggest donor told colleagues that looking at Diane Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women” and said the MP “should be shot”. Thank you @wesstreeting for raising in @HouseofCommons 👇🏽 https://t.co/zdodLyQ2qv
Exactly. Increasing illegals boosts Dem voting power, causing them to recruit even more! If Dems win President, House & Senate (with enough seats to overcome filibuster), they’ll grant citizenship to all illegals & America will become a permanent one-party deep socialist state. https://t.co/XoSM2Bk0py
Can someone in the media please call @elonmusk out for this repeated lying about this. People in the US illegally would lead to 1 additional blue electoral vote, and, because of the way seats are gerrymandered, likely no change in the House. https://t.co/jt8c6NJvGY
By counting illegal aliens in the census, it incentivizes Democrats to continue the invasion in order to build up power. https://t.co/gw97cVEkTz
Bill Hagerty: "Democrats want these illegal migrants in here to create more electoral power. Since Joe Biden came into office, the estimates are as high as 10 million people that have come in here — that would be 13 extra congressional districts." https://t.co/WQsHO5rraS

Senate Democrats Block Bill That Would Ban Illegal Immigrants From Voting https://t.co/OocLvcbySf
I’m proud to cosponsor @SenatorHagerty’s Equal Representation Act and was happy to vote for his amendment on Friday. This is a commonsense measure to ensure that the census and apportionment process does not incentivize and encourage mass illegal migration. https://t.co/EisAtbi3hJ
Democrats don't see illegal immigrants... they see bodies that will shift Congressional districts and voters. That's why they won't do anything to stop them from flooding over the border, want to start calling them "newcomers" and eliminate voter ID. It's all a voting scheme.
