Experts are warning that the onslaught of illegal immigration may significantly impact the makeup of the House of Representatives and, therefore, the Electoral College.
Immigration experts are raising the alarm about how the increasing flow of migrants illegally crossing into the U.S. may significantly impact states' representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College. Shortly after taking office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation of the U.S. population.
In addition, electoral votes for presidential elections are distributed to states based on how many representatives in Congress they have. Therefore, a state with a larger number of House seats has greater influence during presidential elections every four years.
Hagerty's bill comes years after former President Trump attempted to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census questionnaire. 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. The Trump administration ultimately abandoned the effort in July 2019 after an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling.
