Democrats have lost millions as people move away form their cities and states to live in GOP states. That means in the 2030 census they will lose seats in the house and the GOP gains them.
If current trends hold through the 2030 census, states that voted for Vice President Kamala Harris will lose around a dozen House seats — and Electoral College votes — to states that voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

Thats why they opened the border and created sanctuary cities and showered them with free benefits. To attract them to their states and bribe them for support.
Thats why democrats have resorted to violence opposing ICE deportations. Riots in Portland and Chicago are all funded by democrat donors.
This policy has exploded in their faces because what they got were thousands of criminals in their cities. The amazing thing is they dont care and will go to any length to defend them as they prey on legal Americans.
I can't understand why you obsess over this bullshit claim, increased immigration increases crime. It doesn't, for decades, DECADES, studies have consistently shown that the connection between immigration and crime is INVERSELY related. More immigrants, less crime.
Come on, what city has the smallest percentage of immigrants in the country, among major cities--Montgomery, Alabama. Homicide rate, 34.6 per 100,000. New York City, the highest percentage of immigrant population in the country, homicide rate 4.1 per 100,000.
More immigration equals less crime. Just a quick run through AI.
Data from 1980 to 2022 shows that the immigrant share of the U.S. population more than doubled. Over the same period, the total U.S. crime rate dropped by 60%, with violent and property crimes also seeing significant declines.
That even holds true for undocumented immigrants. They are half as likely to be arrested for property and violent crimes as American citizens. This whole replacement theory, immigrants commit crime, eat our pets. Shit is old as this country itself and been proven wrong time and time again. They called it the "Know Nothing" party for a reason.
I realize I live in a unique area with a large immigrant population, many probably undocumented. But many, also multi-generational at this point. Romanian, Hmong. Colombians go all the way back to the 70's, and yes, they were drug smugglers. Venezuela, that is where all the race teams go to when hiring their "cowboy"--all the team owners raise horses, someone has got to run the show, that is the cowboy.
Russian, not really sure why they are here. Seems connected to the automotive industry. German, what remains of the once provider of all that factory equipment, hosiery and furniture mills. Almost always German machines. And go figure, ever owned a German car? Got to have a damn German to work on them.
But then the Hispanic agricultural work force. It is huge around here. I mean sitting right here, less than two miles north, maybe four miles east, food trucks, parked in a parking lot, Mexican street food. Maybe four miles west, Mexican restaurant, middle of nowhere, no English menu.
Nothing explains it more than the traveling worker, the migrant farmer. That is how my grandfather was raised. Around here it is tomatoes in the winter, in Mexico. Something about having to return on those special farm worker visas, like at least once a year. So, they lay the fields in during the winter in Mexico. Then, when Spring rolls around they come here, lay in the fields. This is the crew my oldest son worked on. The crew we sold the family farm to.
This is home for them. Papers, no papers, who flippin cares. The Mom stays home, raises the kids, the way it is supposed to be. I mean look at the stats, Hispanic immigrant twice as likely to be a stay at home Mom. And Pop, he makes bank. After setting the fields in during the Spring, he shoots to the mountains, it is Christmas trees. It is nasty work, spraying chemicals in hazmat suits. Huge cancer cluster in that area, Ashe county, North Carolina, beautiful country.
