Trump Asks SCOTUS to Keep Illegals Out of Redistricting
President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to issue a ruling that would keep illegal immigrant populations from being used in redistricting.
If the court rules in his favor it could have major implications on the Democrat House majority.
According to The Washington Free Beacon:
AdvertisementThe Trump administration will press its bid to exclude illegal aliens from the population baseline for awarding House seats on Monday in the Supreme Court, a move that would shift political clout away from states with large undocumented populations.
President Donald Trump’s July order to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment could be one of his most consequential acts in office. States like California, where approximately 6 percent of the population is undocumented, will lose out on congressional seats and untold millions in federal funds if the administration prevails.
Blue states losing even a handful of seats would make the House’s thin Democratic majority even more precarious. Congressional analysts suggest Democrats will lose the House in 2022 on the basis of reapportionment alone, since red states with growing populations are expected to gain seats. But right-leaning states like Florida and Texas could each pick up one seat fewer as a result of the order, according to the Pew Research Center.
…
The Constitution and a federal statute provide that House seats are awarded based on “the whole number of persons in each state,” a key phrase in the case. In court filings, acting solicitor general Jeffrey Wall argues that phrase covers the “inhabitants” of each state. It’s reasonable to say a person who “lacks permission to be in this country” is not an inhabitant, Wall wrote, adding that the president has discretion to determine who counts as an inhabitant.
Wall also argues that the plaintiffs lack standing based on their argument that the ruling would keep illegals from answering key questions on the census. But the census ended in October and there is no more harm to be had.

Illegal aliens – not “undocumented immigrants” are inhabitants of their home nations. Not the states they snuck into.
Throw out all illegal immigrants along with all the deplorable racist communist democrats and the squad with all supporters
Hey cory the punk booker why don’t you just get your anti racist communist rich bastards buy a huge chunk of property in Alaska and start your own state you little boy
Get the fat rich bitches to donate $$$$$
Illegal Alien Invaders should NOT be Counted in the census…. anybody with a brain knows that the “Sanctuary” states would NOT fight for the sanctuary if the Apportionment wasn’t at stake…. also The Legal citizens are having their Rights Damaged by Having to PAY for these Dregs of Society, Also if Sanctuary is Kept then lets ship every MS-13, and Other gang, members to Los Angeles County and Require Angelenos to pay for them, Guard them and Supervise them !
Based on results of the Frankfurt firefight, it might be advisable to post Special Forces under arms at every voting place that uses Dominion machines or copies thereof.
The Dominion machines should be thrown in the recycler! They connect to the internet and the servers are in a foreign county. We don’t even know who owns the company!
Sorry, but any illegal alien does not get counted because THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. IF THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO VOTE, try to be a Citizen. DO NOT SUCKLE FROM OUR ECONOMY AND EXPECT TO VOTE IN OUR ELECTIONS. DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY! BECOME A CITIZEN!
But go wait in your OWN country while applying..
Our laws and Constitution are based our our CITIZENS. Illegals are criminals from another country.
They should not be counted for anything but illegals. If they were not aided and abetted in being here and they did not benefit the corrupt leftist Damnocrats they would voluntarily go back where they belong! There should be no sanctuary and no respite for being illegal. And those harboring illegals should be punished to the full extent of the law be they a law breaking so-called citizen or a law breaking giant corporation, be they John Doe or G. SOROS or a Bloomburg or a CA communist governor!
You deserve 10 thumbs up for that Truth.
When the Constitution was enacted by approval of the states, they would not have assumed that there would be huge numbers of persons residing illegally in the Country. Therefore, the clear intent is that persons here legally would be represented in the Congress.
Why not count mules chickens and jackasses they are legal residents.
I am getting so sick of this illegality by the damn demon Rats.
Illegal aliens’ DO NOT BELONG here.. Thus, they have no right to have representatives.
Our no-longer-supreme-court had better get this figured out!!
No reps for illegals.
Dems want illegals for cheap labor!
Sanctuary states and cities don’t want to lose federal money but they expect us to pay for their illogical spending.
Counting illegals in states give those state more representation which means less representation for actual citizens!
