Let me tell you about a dirty little secret that’s been going on for decades. Blue states have held a hidden advantage in Congress. And here’s the kicker—it has nothing to do with actual American citizens. This quiet manipulation of our democratic system has given certain states way too much political power. Meanwhile, lawful Americans in other states? Their voices get drowned out.
You know what’s crazy? The game has been simple. Count everyone, no matter if they’re here legally or not. Then watch as congressional seats and Electoral College votes flow to states with the most illegal immigrants. It’s a system that rewards breaking the law. States that follow the rules and prioritize legal immigration? They get punished.
From Fox News:
President Donald Trump declared in a Thursday morning Truth Social post that he has directed the Commerce Department to start working on a new census, noting that illegal aliens in the U.S. will not be included in the population count.
“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” the president said in the post.
President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell. In a Thursday morning Truth Social post, he directed the Commerce Department to start working on a new census. The big change? Illegal aliens won’t be counted anymore.
California’s Congressional Advantage
Here’s where it gets really interesting. The numbers are mind-blowing. About 2.6 million “unauthorized immigrants” live in California. Texas has another 2 million. Some experts think more than 18 million illegal immigrants live in the whole country. And get this—these aren’t just numbers on a page. They equal congressional seats and electoral votes that should go to states with more legal residents.
Think about it. Every ten years, the census decides how many House seats each state gets. Since we count illegal immigrants, states like California have been pumping up their political power for years. That’s a lot of extra congressional seats, isn’t it?
Democrats’ Open Secret
Want to hear something wild? Democrats actually admit this when they think nobody’s listening. New York Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke got caught on tape. She said she was eager to see more immigrants come in to help Democrats with “redistricting purposes.” Did she really just say that out loud? This isn’t about being nice or helping people. It’s about raw political power.
Senator Bill Hagerty didn’t mince words either. He said Democrats are desperate. People are fleeing Democrat-run cities in droves. So what do Democrats do? They “back-fill the mass exodus with illegal immigrants” just to keep their seats in Congress. Talk about gaming the system!
Constitutional Considerations
Look, I’m no constitutional scholar, but this seems pretty clear. The 14th Amendment says representatives should be based on “the whole number of persons in each State.” But come on. Do you really think our Founders wanted millions of people who broke into our country to decide who runs Congress?
The Constitution was written for citizens and legal residents. Not for people who snuck across the border in the middle of the night.
Trump tried to fix this during his first term. He said we need to respect the law and protect democracy by not counting illegal aliens. Biden reversed it in 2021 because of course he did. But now Trump’s back, and he just reversed Biden’s reversal. Game on.
What Happens Next
Here’s the thing that gets me excited. The next official census isn’t until 2030. But Trump’s not waiting around. He wants to use “modern day facts and figures” and data from the 2024 election to get a new count going now.
The impacts? They could be huge. I mean really huge. Blue states might lose multiple House seats. Their Electoral College votes could drop like a rock. California alone could lose two or three seats. New York? Maybe two seats gone. Illinois? At least one.
This isn’t about being mean to anyone. It’s about making sure every legal American’s vote actually counts for something. States that became sanctuaries for illegal immigrants? They’re about to learn that choices have consequences.
Key Takeaways
• Trump orders new census that won’t count illegal immigrants in population totals
• California and other blue states could lose multiple House seats and Electoral votes
• Democrats openly admitted using immigration for “redistricting purposes”
• Legal citizens’ voting power has been diluted by counting non-citizens
