California's "Illegal" House Seats

Remember back when Wisconsin had 9 seats in the House of Representatives?

Good times.  Good times.

Know why Wisconsin now only has eight??

California's illegal immigrant population.

...According to an analysis from Unbiased America, Blue States with large illegal alien populations like California are benefiting massively in terms of representation due to their non-citizens.

  • California: +6 representatives (11.3% of its current representatives)
  • Florida: +1 representative (4.0%)
  • New York: +1 representative (3.4%)
  • Texas: +1 representative (3.1%)

Because the House of Representatives is currently fixed by law at 435 members, states that have fewer illegal aliens and non-citizens lose representatives as a result. The following states have fewer representatives than they would if undocumented immigrants were not counted in the calculation:

  • Mississippi: -1 representative (25.0% of its current representatives)
  • Oklahoma: -1 representative (20.0%)
  • Kentucky: -1 representative (16.7%)
  • South Carolina: -1 representative (16.7%)
  • Wisconsin: -1 representative (12.5%)
  • Indiana: -1 representative (11.1%)
  • Michigan: -1 representative (6.7%)
  • Ohio: -1 representative (5.6%)
  • Pennsylvania: -1 representative (5.3%)

The Census is also used to allocate federal funds, and states with more illegal immigrants thus receive more from the federal government at the expense of those with smaller illegal alien populations.

All those illegals make a difference. 

Since Trump is an "Americans First" kinda guy, he changed the policy; the Census bureau will no longer count illegals towards population.  And yes, the Usual Suspects immediately sued him.

One more thing:  the Electoral College ALSO gained six votes from California--and subtracted them from "flyover country."  That means that the land of fruits, nuts, and illegals has a lot more to say about how THIS country is run--and who runs it.

Food for thought.
