Illegals grow government and drive politics by their mere presence.
First of all, how do they know they’re illegal??
Leave them out of federal aid for schools as well. That would get the attention of local politicians.
yes...this is exactly what Brimelow called the loss of the “political nation”.Not many folks stop and think about the longterm implications of this.
The best suggestion I have heard is that people can register for resident status and then their manes can be put on a NO VOTE data base so they cannot become instant members of the democrat party and vote themselves gubmint handouts.
Folks need to do some frightening math.
If there are 30 million illegals in America and it takes a bit more than 660,000 people to make a congressional district, that translates into a lot of illegitimate congressional districts.
Border War with a twist ping.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY.
Now in California I am sure that illegals are counted per the communists Democratic Party requirement to influence the districts in their favor. Democrats bought the illegals in this State and they probably even vote.
Good idea!
People need to realize that their own votes are disenfranchised by counting illegals.
I have an idea - lets compromise and just count each illegal as 3/5 of a person.
Hmmm - didn’t we try that once?
I know Texans don’t like to hear it but they will be a democrat state in the future if things continue as they are now. Just look at the voting trends of counties along the border.
I’ve been saying for a long time, give them a green card, NOT a path to citizenship. I like your idea of resident status AND a no vote list. This could be as easy as the statement on the front of a green card “not to become a citizen” or a different color card. After all, on state photos IDs, there is a statement which says “this is not a driver’s license.”
Eleven million was about 20 years ago.
Illegals should not have been counted in the census. A lot has happened in Arizona since the census was taken and many of the illegals have left the state. However, because of their presence during the Census, the redistricting fiasco is a flippin’ mess. They weren’t Americans and they weren’t Arizonans. They should not have been counted. Arizona is a conservative state. The presence of all of those illegal aliens in 2010 made it appear otherwise.
Just use similar statistical techniques the Dims were proposing for estimating the supposed uncounted illegals, and then eliminate the total estimated illegals from each state’s population figures.
The constitution says ‘enumerate’, not ‘estimate’...
Once that happens you can forget ever seeing a GOP president again. Starting an election conceding the electoral votes of NY, California AND Texas. Foggetabout it! So what's the alternative? Promaise legalization? Texas will go Democratic any way.
