Senate Democrats voted unanimously to allow the census to count illegal immigrants, killing a measure that would have stopped it. This could have massive effects on the balance of political power, since the census determines the number of House seats and electoral college votes each state gets.
Retired Homeland Security Agent Victor Avila told KTRH, this proves Democrats have been using the border crisis to gain power all along. He said, "This is the bigger picture. We have a lot of issues like crime and healthcare, but it's about control."
Avila says this will lead to conservative states having little or no voice in American politics. Or if they do have a voice, it won't really be that effective, since it will be drowned out by extra House Democrats from blue states that harbor illegal immigrants. He says this needs to be one of Republicans' top issues going into the 2024 general election.
