I like it, good tactic.

It was always wrong to count criminal aliens for the purpose of allocating representation in DC.

TX and CA may lose congressional seats, Midwest and Northeast may gain some.

🚨What if House seats were based on citizens, not residents?

Using 2023 Census data and the Huntington–Hill method, here's how congressional representation would shift if we counted only U.S. citizens 🇺🇸 (not all residents):

📈 Gains:
Arizona : +1
Idaho: +1
Michigan: +1
Ohio : +1
Tennessee: +1
Utah : +1

📉 Losses:
California: -4
Illinois: -1
New York: -1

My take for the Trump administration: If you're aiming to represent voters, it makes more sense to count citizens only, not just exclude undocumented immigrants (which would still count legal non-citizens who also can't vote).

Just so it's clear, there are 3 separate ways Republicans can gain House seats

1️⃣ Stop counting undocumented immigrants or foreign residents; shifts about 10 seats
2️⃣ Redo the 2020 Census correctly; would shift around 15-20 seats per your post
3️⃣ Gerrymandering; effects vary but can stack on top of the above

These aren't either/or; they all stack.

Dunno how the data repub is so optimistic - TX would lose a few seats as well, although likely from cities which are blue or purple. Houston Dallas and San Antonio are full of illegals.

You have no idea just how much the Democratic Party has to rely on non-citizens and illegal aliens to inflate their legislative districts.

Just look at this. Nearly 25% of this Blue district's population in the Virginia House of Delegates are "non-citizens".

These people get to be counted in the census and then end up being allocated in Congressional and State Legislative districts, which artificially expands the Left's electoral power.

Democrats don't even represent Americans. They represent foreigners. Literally.

It’s more. I used to believe the 10 million illegals number. I no longer do.

Went to the local el Torito last night with wife. We have not been there in about 6 months. 100% turnover in staff. New staff is almost entirely under 25 years old. They were nervous and had hard times with the scripts. Both the hostess and the waiter. That’s fine. They all get an A for effort. It’s a good thing that younger people are taking these part time jobs, hopefully going to college or otherwise learning a profession and making $35-50k a year while working 25-35 hours.

Nothing wrong with replacing adults illegals with young people. Fwiw el Torito has improved its food quality. The carne asada in my burrito was better than I’ve had in the past and the salsa was spicier, bringing them more in line with the authentic taco stands that are abundant in Los Angeles.

I don't experience it where I live much. It's way more than 10M though. The hispanics get their enclave and turn full NIMBY to protect the illegals and don't want gentrification in their neighborhood. Cops are mainly latino so everyone looks the other way. They've got the system down. This is how it was when I worked in Chicago.

2-4 units with 6-8+ people per unit, most illegal. Literally going around the block there could be 500-1,000 illegals. Little Village being the biggie, then Pilsen and probably Hermosa within Chicago. Cicero and Berwyn are bad as far as close suburbs. There's easily 1-1.5M illegals in the Chicagoland region. Extend it out from city center to 100 miles and it's probably 2M just in this region.

LA is probably double that. Same with Texas. NY and NJ are biggies. Then just filter in places like Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, St. Louis and then other smaller cities. It has to be 25-30M illegals. Problem is they'll be lucky to get 1M. If a new census happens they have to go after illegals in specific districts. Gotta get 5-10k out of specific districts that are purple.

Could be as many as 10 million in California alone. Girls who were citizens and worked in my office said very few of their relatives and friends ever bothered to apply for citizenship. They had their embedded subcultures, didn't seem to prevent them getting into the social services networks etc. so they didn't bother with citizenship.
