Which is why they want illegals to come pouring in. You get to count them towards the census which in turns manipulates house seats and electoral votes. People that think that illegals aren't affecting our elections don't know what they are talking about.

The number of representatives is capped. In 2020 California, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia lost one representative - Texas (2), Colorado, Oregon, Montana & NC gained. Yes, there is a grandiose plan to allow unfettered immigration so that every 10 years 5-7 representatives can shift from primarily blue states to red states.

Regardless of where they end up, why should we count illegals and have it affect our elections?
