Hagerty Amendment to Stop Counting Illegals in Census for Congressional Seats Fails

United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) today released the following statement after the vote on his amendment barring illegal immigrants from being counted on the census:

“Today I forced Chuck Schumer to hold a vote on whether illegal aliens should be counted for determining the number of congressional seats and electoral votes each state gets. Democrats’ unanimous opposition to this commonsense measure confirms that they’re using illegal aliens and sanctuary cities to increase their political power. With this vote, Senate Democrats chose to trample on the rights of each American’s voice. I will continue to fight and press this issue in the Senate.”

What a disgrace, and if we're lucky enough to get a Republican president, whoever it is, the first thing they should do is EO the change back to counting CITIZENS. Just like Biden unwound it to allow this travesty. I've read that there are something like 22 congressional seats that exist strictly on the number of illegals counted in those districts.


They need to go away.
