“my amendment is simple. It would require that the census determine basic population statistics like the number of citizens, noncitizens, and illegal aliens that live in this country, and it would require that only U.S. citizens be counted in determining the number of House seats and electoral votes that each State gets. Currently, illegal aliens are counted for determining how many congressional seats and electoral college votes each State gets. The more illegal aliens and noncitizens in your State or district, the greater your voting power in Congress and Presidential elections. This not only destroys the principle of one person-one vote by making some American's votes more powerful than others, but it encourages illegal immigration in sanctuary cities as a way to increase political power. In fact, a Democrat House Member from New York recently called for more illegal immigration to her district for redistricting purposes. The weight of every American's vote should be equal. More illegal alien resettlement shouldn't mean more political power in America. My amendment would ensure this, and I encourage my colleagues to support it. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Washington.”
