HOW ILLEGALS CAN ELECT HILLARY CLINTON

Ken Berwitz

If you think this blog is primarily about how many illegals are going to be voting in the 2016 elections, you are wrong.  That is the junior partner in what you are about to read.

 Paul Goldman and Mark Rozell, writing for politico.com, have put up an angle on the tidal wave of illegals into this country that I admit I never thought of…but which is so logical, and rings so true, that it seems to me the Republican Party had better do something about it damn fast….if there is anything they can do about it damn fast.

 From Mr. Goldman and Mr. Rozell:

 Illegal immigrants-along with other noncitizens without the right to vote-may pick the 2016 presidential winner. Thanks to the unique math undergirding the Electoral College, the mere presence of 11-12 million illegal immigrants and other noncitizens here legally may enable them to swing the election from Republicans to Democrats.

 

The right to vote is intended to be a singular privilege of citizenship. But the 1787 Constitutional Convention rejected allowing the people to directly elect their President. The delegates chose instead our Electoral College system, under which 538 electoral votes distributed amongst the states determine the presidential victor.
 
The distribution of these 435 seats is not static: they are reapportioned every ten years to reflect the population changes found in the census. That reallocation math is based on the relative “whole number of persons in each state,” as the formulation in the 14^th Amendment has it. When this language was inserted into the U.S. Constitution, the concept of an “illegal immigrant,” as the term is defined today, had no meaning.
 

This math gives strongly Democratic states an unfair edge in the Electoral College.

And this, of course, is before we talk about the fact – and I absolutely, unequivocally, 100% believe it to be a fact – that, due in large part to the states which insist on their being no serious voter ID mechanism, there are many illegals aready casting votes in elections. 

What can the Republican Party do about this, other than a constitutional amendment – which a) is not going to happen, and b) even if it did, would not be in place by the 2016 elections? 

How about pushing through legislation that requires the census count to be adjusted by how many illegals the census bureau tells us are in each state? How about that being in place by 2016 – thus lowering the states which get more representation based on illegals and raising the ones which get less? 

If Democrats want to come out against this, let them do it. Let them show the legal voters of this country that they WANT illegals to affect the Presidential election. 

If President Obama wants to veto such legislation, make him exercise the veto. And then USE it to show legal voters that the destiny of their country is being take away by him, and the Democrat Party. 

Short of removing illegals from the country, that is, it seems to me, the best they can do….and I hope someone comes up with an idea that is better than mine. 

Many, many thanks to Paul Goldman and Mark Rozell for this invaluable insight!!
