Trump Orders New Census That Would Exclude Illegals

It is estimated that between 5 to 30 house seats could disappear.

President Trump triggered the left again with an announcement Thursday morning that could threaten the Democrats’ hold on several congressional seats and electoral votes.

Trump announced that he had ordered the Department of Commerce to “immediately” start working on a new census that would exclude illegal aliens from being counted. One legal residents would be included.

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump wrote. “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS.”

Some immigration researchers project that including noncitizens in the census count disproportionately benefits Democratic states with large illegal alien populations.

Red states would have benefited under the administration’s desired census counting shift. Had authorities excluded such migrants from the 2010 census, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio and North Carolina all would have gained one seat in the House, while California would have lost three seats, and Texas and Florida would have each lost one seat – with the total number of Electoral College votes allotted each state changing accordingly.

Stephen Miller, though, estimates the impact would be even greater if illegals were excluded from the census. He told Sean Hannity last night the Democrats gained up to 30 SEATS thanks to unauthorized migrants.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

The Census Bureau Admits It Overcounted Democrat States and Delivered Them Five Extra Congressional Seats

Pretty amazing that they admit they did an "oopsie" but also want to let that "oopsie" stand until the next census in 2030.

Actually, until 2032, because the 2030 census's numbers won't be used for reapportionment of congressional seats until the following election in 2032.

Trump also wants illegal aliens excluded from the count, which is a heavier lift.

A HEAVY LIFT, BUT A NECESSARY ONE.

Illegal immigrants are ILLEGAL.

Why would we allow an illegally-gotten gain to affect the outcome of our sacred elections?
