RE: Sanctuary Cities Are a Vehicle for Voter Fraud: Illegal Alien Non-Citizens and Legal Non-Citizens Are Included When Determining Legislative Vote Apportionment
Annie,
I had never thought of that aspect but you are completely correct.
11 million illegal immigrants in the country as of 2015. 2 million in California alone.
Some of this balances out in the short term -- Texas (usually votes red) was given an extra 4 apportionments in the 2012 election based on 2010 census, Florida (kind of a mixed bag) gained 2, while Arizona/Georgia/Nevada/South Carolina/Utah/Washington all gained 1 (very mixed bag there.)
Meanwhile, New York and Ohio lost 2 (mixed bag) and Illinois/Iowa/Louisiana/Massachusetts/Michigan/Missouri/New Jersey/Pennsylvania all lost 1 (also mixed bag.)
But -- long term trend is clear, allowing populations to stream into your country and including them in your voting process even if they don't vote is a recipe for disaster.
Good pickup!
Hi Gwiss, I just wanted to respond to the 11 million since 2015 number - that number has been in usage since 2009 with no changes.
11.2 Million Illegal Immigrants in U.S. in 2010, Report Says; No Change From ’09 - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/02/us/02immig.html
With the shift in the way sanctuary city policies have been used since 2008, I suspect that the number of illegal aliens counted in the 2020 census could be much higher and will further negatively impact the apportionment and value of each citizen's vote.
Also, I made an update to the article due to my oversight that the huge number of legal non-citizens are also being included in the population count for apportionment. Something like 13% or more of the California population are non-citizens.
Yikes. That means that 6 of their apportionment votes really belong elsewhere. Crazy.
I guess trusting the folks who are telling us that illegal immigrants don't matter to also be the ones telling us how many illegal immigrants there are is not wise.
