They don't have to vote to steal our representation.

Illegal immigration regularly ranks among voters’ top two or three issues in the 2024 election — but mass immigration reduces the amount of power U.S. citizens have over their own government, two new studies show. America’s massive immigrant population has redistributed political power from Republican-leaning districts with a high number of U.S. citizens to liberal, sanctuary cities and states that tend to elect Democrats. Merely counting illegal immigrants and their anchor babies in the U.S. Census gave Democrats two additional seats in the House of Representatives, the report found.
Legal and illegal immigrants have realigned the American political landscape further leftward while watering down U.S. citizens’ representation in Congress, according to two new studies by Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Their findings corroborate Republican claims that counting noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, in the U.S. Census rewards liberal states while punishing conservative ones.
“[I]mmigration significantly redistributes political power in Washington,” their reports, released on Thursday, state. “In 2020, immigration clearly distributed seats toward Democratic-leaning states.”
The first report, “Tilting the Balance,” estimates the impact of legal and illegal immigration on apportionment and political influence in the U.S. House and Electoral College. The scholars divided all 50 states into Democrat-leaning, Republican-leaning, or battleground states. (The five battleground states are Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.)
Illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born anchor babies furnished the Democratic Party with a net gain of two seats in Congress in 2020. “If the illegal immigrant population continues to grow at the current pace, it may redistribute seven seats by 2030. When their minor children are included, the redistribution is estimated to be nine seats, with a net gain for Democratic-leaning states of four seats,” the report notes.
Counting all immigrants, legal and illegal, in the 2020 census shifted a total of 17 House districts nationwide. In all, seven states gained at least one seat, while 16 states lost representation.
Mass immigration created 14 Democratic congressional districts, while it cost battleground states four districts and eliminated 10 Republican seats, the report found. Including immigrants’ children gives Democrats a total of 18 additional congressional districts, while erasing six districts in swing states and 12 Republican seats. By 2030, the immigrant advantage will shower Democrats with a net gain of 10 seats — or 16, including their children.
