With the thousands of illegal aliens headed toward our southern border, the battle has heated up across party lines as to whether they should be allowed to enter our country. Republicans want to enforce our laws, build the wall, and ONLY allow those who come here legally. The Democrats, of course, want an open border and to allow any and all who want to come to this country no matter who they are and their intentions once here.

The Democrats, of course, want an open border and to allow any and all who want to come to this country no matter who they are and their intentions once here.
We watched as past administrations caved to pressure from the Open Borders crowd by not securing the border for fear of political pushback. However, one man dared to tell the truth about the dangers of an open border. Then-candidate Donald J. Trump came down that escalator and shared his vision to Make American Great Again. He said what needed to be said without fear, and the American people rallied around him and elected him to handle the mess this country had become.
For far too long, those from other countries have come here by sneaking across our border and living in the shadows. We’ve been told we should feel bad for them, but over time, we’ve all seen this way of thinking has only added to a problem NONE of us ever wanted in OUR homeland… drugs, crime, and the weakening of our economy. However, there is another result of unfettered illegal immigration: political power.
How is that possible, you ask? I believe the TRUE reason the Democrats push so hard for illegal immigrants isn’t only for their potential vote. No, not at all. I firmly believe the true reason is to pad the U.S. census numbers. With the 2020 Census coming up, what better way to get MORE apportionment of Congressional representatives?
If the population of illegal aliens and other long-term foreign residents were inconsequential, this would not be an important issue. However, with millions of more persons counted in the Census than the number of U.S. citizens, this is a valid major concern. Because illegal aliens should not be here in the first place, and other non-immigrants such as foreign students and guest workers are here only temporarily, it makes no sense to distribute Congressional seats as if these foreign nationals deserved representation the same as American citizens.
The U.S. population that logically should be counted in the census includes U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents. As only U.S. citizens may vote in federal elections, the apportionment of seats in Congress should only be done by the number of citizens in each state. Also, the apportionment of federal funds should be solely based on the number of citizens and legal residents of each state.
As you can clearly see states with large numbers of illegal aliens and other non-citizens, Democrats gain the advantage of additional representation in Congress. This is done at the expense of states with fewer illegal aliens and non-citizens since the total number in the House of Representatives is currently fixed by law at 435 members. If the seats in the House of Representative were reapportioned based on the distribution of U.S. citizens, the big loser of seats would be California, losing at least 6 seats. Three other states with large immigrant populations both legal and illegal would also lose at least one seat each: Texas, New York, and Florida. The winners in this reallocation of congressional representation would be the residents of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Those states each would gain at least one additional representative. Do you see a pattern here?
So, every time you hear a Democrat demanding an open border and rights for illegal immigrants, it's NOT compassion for the down-trodden. We all know that voter fraud is a major problem. However, I believe the true reason behind their protests is the desire for additional Democrat Representatives in Congress. That’s right, MORE POWER!
We need to stop allowing the Democrats to cheat the American citizens by padding the Congress with additional, undeserved Representatives. The 2020 U.S. Census is right around the corner, which is why I’m sure they want as many illegal immigrants flooding over our southern border.
