My last blog featured a must-read article by Ben Shapiro. This one features another must-read article, by Brianna Lyman, writing for thefederalist.com. Titled “The American citizen pays the price in diluted representation when illegal aliens are counted in the census”, it discusses the political/electoral implications of accepting millions and millions of illegals being counted as if they were legal citizens.
Here are a couple of key excerpts:
President Donald Trump announced Thursday he instructed the Commerce Department to begin working on a census that does not include illegal aliens. It’s a long-overdue correction to a system that Democrats have exploited for years to tip the balance of power in Washington.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
If voting, which is a benefit exclusively for citizens, is off-limits to illegal immigrants, it would be hard to imagine that illegal immigrants should be empowered to dilute the weight of a vote by artificially expanding the population and increasing the representational advantage of one area while taking it away from another area that is populated by legal residents. And yet, thanks to Democrats, that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Is that why whoever was running the Biden administration allowed millions and millions of illegals to come across the border, and then transported them to places around the country, which – you can bet your bottom dollar – addressed the point made by Ms. Lyman regarding distribution of population/representational and electoral advantage?
That’s like asking if the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, isn’t it.
Please read Ms. Lyman’s entire article. Then root, along with me, for President Trump to be successful in this effort to clean up our census and make it truly represent the legal citizens of our country.
