In case you are not aware, there has been an issue in the courts with the 2020 census and the questions regarding those in the country illegally.

Well, the main concern came to light.

Liberals Tell Supreme Court How Illegal Immigration Increases Their Power

The first premise in their argument is that the citizenship question will cause some people to disobey the law that requires them to answer census questions.

The House put it to the Supreme Court this way: "No logical leap is required here: given the potential immigration consequences of being identified by the government as lacking legal immigration status, common sense explains the reluctance of noncitizens to self-identify on a government form."

The second premise is that if people "lacking legal immigration status" do not complete the census form, certain states and jurisdictions will lose congressional seats and federal funding.

The California state legislature put this candidly.

"California is expected to lose at least one seat in the House of Representatives and possibly more," it told the court.

"Depending on the experts' estimated undercount attributable to the additional question," it said, "that number could be as high as a loss of three seats."


Quoted above is California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

I wonder how many seats Tejas would lose?

Pew estimated that as of 2016, California had 2.2 million illegals with Texas at 1.6. The total number of illegal aliens was estimated at 10.7 million nationally.

The attached includes an estimate for every state.

How many illegals actually vote? Nada. You’re all paranoid as usual.

I’m not aware of any estimates showing that. Most estimates indicate the numbers have come down in recent years.

It is counter intuitive to believe that large numbers of illegals would risk their status by trying to vote. Not only are illegals unlikely to vote, the fact that their parents are illegals would give their native born children pause before they vote themselves.

nothing to do with voting...."certain states and jurisdictions will lose congressional seats and federal funding."

How many Russians hacked the election to help Trump win? None. Keep blaming them to feel better about your loss.
