Deport all illegals, problem solved.

[doldrumsforgop]

I see this as helping Texas get more congressional seats if the allocation is on a % of total US population.

As long as those illegals cannot vote, this is actually a plus as most of Texas will be more conservative than the general US. Gotta leave out the hellhole of Austin.

[JohnBrowdie]

thanks, SCOTUS. yet another campaign issue.

[Cyman]

Have a real hard tie believing the unanimity of the verdict. On the surface this boggles the mind. Need to do some digging.

[unixfox]

The ruling does not grant non-citizens power to vote, but says the principle of “one person, one vote” doesn’t require localities to only count those who are actually eligible to vote.

YET.

[Harpotoo]

unanimous??? Boy are we EF’ed!

[NYRepublican72]

I don’t have a problem with this ruling. It’s a proper read of the Constitution. There’s nothing in the census language that requires citizenship. Scalia would have probably decided the case the same way.

[Brookhaven]

Trump should jump on this.

A constitutional amendment stating that only citizens of the United States should count for apportionment purposes.

[armydawg505]

There is precedent in the court just to count them as 3/5s of a person.

Ginsburg had written it. LOL Was she finally awake to do that or even hear the evidence and case?

“A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Monday that illegal immigrants and other non-citizens can be counted when states draw their legislative districts”

Robert Bork was spot on: We are ruled by a liberal judiciocracy.

[bgill]

Now, now, we’ve been told illegals are basically citizens.

[sphinx]

Can be, or must be?

The natural inclination of local jurisdictions would be to count all carbon based life forms, alien or not, as well as the dead (to accommodate Democrats), in order to inflate their numbers for congressional apportionment and various federal and state subsidies. That, however, doesn't mean that illegals MUST be counted. The court may have merely ruled that the constitution doesn't prohibit counting them, so if a state, or the Congress, wants to do otherwise, it can legislate to that effect.

Require all employers to use E-verify, under penalty of law.

They will self-deport at no cost.

[Lazamataz]

UNANIMOUS??!??

Even Justice Thomas???!?

This is horrific.

[mdmathis6]

Well the plus side for Texas conservatives is that their voting strength is magnified compared with areas where there are less illegal immigrants. The Libs on the court didn’t think this one thru!

[Impy]

I don’t agree with this decision.

Could we compromise and count 3/5s of illegals instead? ;d

Seriously, they should be counted.

[SkyPilot]

Felons. Invaders. Criminals. Democrats. Liberals.

They are all in the same category: evil.

[Talisker]

Justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg, writing for the court, said even though only eligible voters are supposed to cast ballots, elected officials represent all people within their districts, and it is that act of representation, not the election itself, that the boundaries are drawn to.
