GOP effort to stop illegal immigrants being counted for House districts, Electoral College shot down in Senate
Fox News
Sen. Bill Hagerty's, R-Tenn., amendment to stop non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, from being counted for the purposes of apportionment for House seats failed in the Senate.
While the bill would also exclude legal immigrants on temporary visas and green cards from the census, the move has been undertaken explicitly to stop illegal immigrants from being counted amid millions of new arrivals at the southern border. It's similar to a Trump-era effort to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census. Trump's effort sparked widespread criticism and condemnation from Democrats and left-wing immigration groups who argued that a citizenship question was unlawful and was designed to help Republicans in future elections.
Hagerty told Fox News Digital last month that he believes that Democrats in "sanctuary" cities and elsewhere are accepting of the effects of the migrant surge because they are hoping to gain greater representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College by redistricting.
