Elon Musk highlighted how the census, including illegal immigrants, affects political power and money distribution to states and congressional districts.
This has sparked a debate, with Republicans proposing amendments to exclude illegal migrants from congressional district apportionment.
They argue that counting illegal immigrants in the census and awarding congressional representation and electoral votes based on this practice is controversial.
Biden’s strategy is very simple:
1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.
2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

“Most people in America don’t know that the census is based on a simple headcount of people (including illegals) not just citizens,” Musk wrote. “This shifts political power and money to states and Congressional districts with the highest number of illegals.”
The issue has also drawn attention from Senate Republicans, who introduced legislation to address the inclusion of illegal immigrants in the count for congressional district apportionment and Electoral College votes.
They argue that including non-citizens in the apportionment count is concerning and could impact political representation.
“I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes,” Rep. Yvette Clarke said.
“True. And when they find out, most Americans disagree with the current practice of counting illegals in the census and awarding congressional representation and electoral votes based on illegals,” Rep. Thomas Massie said.
“The Biden administration’s refusal to secure the southern border and then just allow unfettered entry into the United States by illegal immigrants has far-reaching impacts, far beyond just the things we think of on the surface,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said.
“The Census is the foundation for representation in our political system, and any census that could include non-citizens in the apportionment count is really concerning to me, and it ought to be to all North Dakotans. Illegal immigrants and non-citizens cannot vote and should not be used as pawns as the Democrats redistrict in various states. Our Census has to count both Americans and non-Americans but should also distinguish between them.”
“While people continue to flee Democrat-run cities, desperate Democrats are back-filling the mass exodus with illegal immigrants so that they do not lose their seats in Congress or their electoral votes for the presidency, hence artificially boosting their political power and in turn diluting the power of other Americans’ votes,” Sen. Bill Hagerty said.
