| Illegal immigration could have major impact on House seats, Electoral College: experts |
| 2024-02-16 |
| [FoxNews] Shortly after taking office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation of the U.S. population. As a result, the apportionment of House seats and, therefore, electoral votes for presidential elections, could be swayed as migrants continue to pour over the southern border.

| #9 only if they are allowed to vote Migrants can't vote, but they can swell the census count for congressional districts. 2 electoral votes for 2 senators. 1 electoral vote for each congressional district, the boundary lines of which are often redrawn by judicial mandate based on population density not citizen count. An interesting game is afoot in moving illegals from Texas to the Democrat sanctuary states. After processing, the Dems are 'covertly' moving these bodies via air and bus to destinations unknown, mostly. I anticipate a number of redistricting court actions this summer. |

| #3 It's easy to fix, we just need to start soylent green production and feed it to the people on Welfare. Then they get kuru and become more soylent green and soon, it's down to manageable levels and nobody comes here illegally if you get turned into soylent green. |

| #1 SCOTUS had an opportunity to set apportionment by citizen count but ruled otherwise. Now 51% will vote themselves the productivity of the 49%. |
