Senator Bill Hagerty's amendment to prevent illegal aliens from being counted for the purposes of apportioning congressional seats and Electoral College votes was defeated in the Senate. Hagerty had announced that the Senate would vote on the amendment this evening, accusing Senate Democrats of preferring to shut down the government rather than allow a vote. Despite his efforts, which included going to the Senate floor to demand a vote and accusing Democrats of using illegal aliens to increase their political power, the amendment failed with not a single Democrat Senator voting for it. The decision was made unanimously to defeat the amendment. Every Senate Democrat voted against the amendment, a move that Hagerty and his supporters, including Elon Musk, argue dilutes the voting power of American citizens and criticized, especially after President Biden's decision to flood the country with 10 million illegals.

Every Senate Democrat voted last night against my amendment and therefore to count illegal immigrants “for redistricting purposes” as Representative Clarke embraces below. Every single one of them agrees with her strategy to dilute American citizens’ voting power. https://t.co/RPIo2coHVe

Proud to support @SenatorHagerty's amendment to STOP illegal aliens from being counted in the census. Every Democrat voted against it. If you were curious why democrats want a wide open border, here is the reason. https://t.co/xJXJNssUz3
.@SenatorHagerty heroically stood his ground while forcing this vote yesterday—against immense pressure. We shouldn’t reward Joe Biden’s party for his refusal to enforce the border. https://t.co/CwmuIn7cLG

Kudos to Bill Hagerty for forcing a vote on this amendment. Last night every single Democrat voted to ensure illegal aliens continue to receive congressional representation. It's a disgrace, especially after Biden decided to flood the country with 10 million illegals. https://t.co/F5vXKLkhKe
Senator Hagerty stood for the American people and the integrity of our democratic institutions today. But for some reason, our Democrat colleagues feel very strongly that illegal aliens should influence our elections. https://t.co/HiRc9Jo8ym

HAPPENING NOW: Will Democrats allow my amendment to prevent illegal aliens from being counted in allotting congressional seats and electoral votes to pass the Senate? This is common sense, unless your goal is using illegal aliens to increase your political power.
BREAKING: Sen. Bill Hagerty says Senate will vote today on his amendment barring illegal aliens from being counted in allotting congressional seats and Electoral College Votes.
🚨BREAKING: Senate will vote this evening on my amendment barring illegal aliens from being counted in allotting congressional seats & Electoral College Votes. We will find out if Dems care more about their political power or the citizens they supposedly represent.
Democrats would rather shut down the government than have a vote on my amendment to stop counting illegal aliens for determining House seats and electoral votes. https://t.co/IBN900zDrd
I’m going to the Senate floor right now to demand that @ChuckSchumer quit blocking a vote on my amendment to stop counting illegal aliens for determining House seats and electoral votes. Tune in: https://t.co/YaTK24l6Lc
Should illegal immigrants be counted for determining House seats and electoral votes? That’s the question I’m trying to get the Senate to answer today with an amendment to the gov’t funding bill, but @ChuckSchumer is blocking a vote on it @elonmusk. https://t.co/auQivlygJ2
Ask Chuck Schumer because the hold up right now is that he doesn’t want to vote on my amendment preventing illegal aliens from being counted for determining House seats and electoral votes. https://t.co/QJFDZ4G8HO
