Illegal aliens never should have been allowed to be counted in the census.
It creates a clear incentive structure for blue states to welcome illegals in with open arms. Counting them disproportionately benefits Democrats with more representation in Congress and and Electoral College.
President Trump is attempting to end this.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
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. Only 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.”
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The Gateway Pundit reported back in June that Trump was poised to remove noncitizens from the census.
The result could prove devastating to the Democratic Party.
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.
There will no doubt be a legal battle that follows, but if President Trump can end the bizarre practice of counting illegal aliens the Democrat gravy train will come to an end.
