Trump orders new census that does NOT count illegal immigrants

I have a sneaky feeling you wouldn't have said that if a Democrat president was doing the same thing.
Nope. I would abhor it no matter who proposed this.
Trump stands alone in this madness, among all Presidents-- R or D.
He is attempting to alter the very foundations of our country to favor his party.

Him and his minions~

If illegal aliens (unauthorized immigrants) were excluded from the U.S. Census count used for congressional apportionment, the number of House seats allocated to each state would shift. This is because apportionment is based on total population, not just citizens or legal residents.

🔹 Background:​

  • The U.S. Constitution (Article I, Section 2) requires a count of the total population (the "whole number of persons") in each state every 10 years to apportion House seats.
  • This includes citizens and non-citizens, regardless of immigration status.
  • The number of seats in the House of Representatives is fixed at 435 and apportioned among the 50 states based on population.

🔹 Impact of Excluding Unauthorized Immigrants:​

If unauthorized immigrants were excluded from the count:
  1. States with large undocumented populations (like California, Texas, Florida, and New York) would likely lose seats.
  2. States with smaller immigrant populations would gain seats (often more rural or Midwestern states).

🔹 Estimated Shifts (Based on Recent Analyses):​

Using data from the 2020 Census and estimates from the Pew Research Center and other demographers:
  • California could lose 1 to 2 seats
  • Texas could lose 1 seat
  • Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois might each lose 1 seat
  • States like Ohio, Alabama, Minnesota, and Montana might gain seats as a result
This would not change the total number of representatives (still 435), but it would redistribute seats away from high-immigration states to others.

🔹 Political Ramifications:​

  • This change would likely benefit Republicans, since states that would gain seats tend to lean red, while those that would lose seats tend to lean blue.
  • It would also reduce federal funding and political influence for high-immigration states.

🔹 Summary Table (Illustrative, not exact):​

StateEst. Seat Loss/Gain if Unauthorized Immigrants Excluded
California-1 to -2
Texas-1
Florida-1
New York-1
Illinois-1
New Jersey-1
Ohio+1
Minnesota+1
Alabama+1
Montana+1
 
If thats true, then you have nothing to worry about, but if its untrue, the democrat party is straight up fucked. Hopefully youre a constitutional scholar and not just some dipshit lefty who is making claims that he cant back up. :dunno:
It is true.

Article I, Section 2, Clause 3

"the whole number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons"
