Snake Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 9:40 Illegal aliens will not be counted for purposes of congressional apportioning thanks to a memorandum set to be signed by President Trump on Tuesday. Congressional seats and electoral college votes are currently divided up by counting all persons in each district, including illegal aliens. This allows states like California, New York, and Florida to receive more congressional seats and electoral college votes, while diluting political power in states with small illegal alien populations. States like Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia were projected to lose congressional seats if the illegal alien population was included in congressional apportioning. The memorandum, White House officials said, will ensure American citizens receive proper representation in Congress without being minimized by apportionment counts inflated by the illegal alien population. “Today’s action to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base reflects a better understanding of the Constitution and is consistent with the principles of our representative democracy,” Trump said in a statement. “My Administration will not support giving congressional representation to aliens who enter or remain in the country unlawfully, because doing so would create perverse incentives and undermine our system of government,” Trump continued. “Just as we do not give political power to people who are here temporarily, we should not give political power to people who should not be here at all.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 good, illegals numbers should not count. TBH i think the count should only be american citizens, even those here on valid visas should not be counted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 It’ll be framed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Which it is. Poor donny. The gop is trying every trick to stay in power rather than accept the inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already tipped his hand to Chris Wallace about what will happen if he loses the election and has been laying the groundwork for claiming voter fraud.

The same way he tipped his hand about working with Russia to win the 2016 election? That piece of prognostication went real well. If anything the democrats are again accusing the republicans of what the democrats are already doing. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not count for federal dollars or congressional seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I district has 10,000 illegal dirt bags and 100 legal residents, how many people live here to vote for representation in Congress?

Irrelevant. The citizenship question on the census was already deemed unconstitutional. Thus, there’s no way of knowing the status of an individual. This is nothing but empty stupid for trumpers. . But please. Go ahead and cheer. It’s good entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
