If the Democrats were without the benefit of illegals, Republicans would control the entire country forever.
"Democrat power in California rests on that mixture of cronyism, corruption and illegal aliens.
Indeed, California is a prime example of a state where political power is built around illegal aliens. Whether or not the illegals actually vote in any number matters less than whether they’re counted for ‘ghost’ districts filled with non-citizens. California’s millions of illegal aliens represent local, statewide and congressional seats that give the Democrats a total lock on power.
The state lost a congressional seat because its population only grew from 37.3 million to 39.5 million. How many congressional seats would California lose without its illegal alien population?
Subtract even the most liberal number of illegal aliens and California would lose 4 seats (in addition to the one it already lost) bringing its congressional delegation down to 48 seats. That would be bad news for efforts by the Democrats to retake the House, but it would also cut California’s power in the electoral college and would make it harder for the Dems to win presidential elections. That is why they’re willing to risk civil war for illegals.
Another way of looking at ‘sanctuary states’ and ‘cities’ is that they serve the purpose of ensuring that illegal aliens take part in local affairs to the maximum degree possible and that when a census taker shows up, they’re happy to answer questions and be counted. That, as both Democrats and Justice Roberts understood during Trump’s first term, is almost as important as actually going out there and voting. It’s why Democrats fight against not only Voter ID, but any restrictions on the participation of illegal aliens in any area of public life.
What would the Democrats look like without an illegal population somewhere in the 30 million range? (Estimates vary wildly of the actual number. And that’s part of the problem.)
The tens of millions of illegal aliens around the country inflate Democrat political power much as the number of slaves once did before the Civil War. If America’s illegals were to be deported, Democrats could lose as many as 15 electoral college votes and close elections would naturally trend toward Republicans. The political map would change. Democrats would cease to be competitive in national elections without fundamentally reorienting their message.
And that is why the Democrats are willing to risk civil war to fight for illegal aliens in California."
