LBJ-era immigration changes skewed political power toward Dems, away from GOP: study
By Sam Dorman | Fox News
 
U.S. legal and illegal immigration levels will create a markedly different House of Representatives -- and post-2020 electoral college votes -- than would have existed otherwise, a new study claims.

The study, conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), claims to offer insight into how immigration reforms during the era of Democratic President Lyndon Johnson affected the distribution of American political power.

"Our findings indicate that, over time, immigration profoundly redistributes political power at the federal level by changing the apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College," the study's authors wrote.

They needed a study to figure this out?

Apparently so. Up until very recently there was a large segment of the republican party who brutally condemned anyone who questioned current immigration policy, opting for 'come one come all they're all natural republicans' happy talk instead.

Dummies who didn't understand the concept of critical thinking, let alone self preservation.

CIS analyzed Census data to determine that immigrants, and their U.S.-born children, will redistribute at least 26 House seats after 2020. Of those 26 lost seats, 24 will come from states that voted for President Trump in the 2016 election. Meanwhile, solidly Democratic states -- California, New Jersey, and New York -- will collectively gain 19 additional seats, CIS said Thursday.

This is something like the 5th or 6th or even 7th thread about this same "study". I've deleted several such duplicates, and maybe other Mods have as well. So, unless I am asked by Admins or other Mods to delete this thread as well, I am going to simply close this, leaving a simple request: no more threads about this topic, please. One thread about it is enough.

Here is the initial thread about this topic, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,386293.0.html . As can be seen, duplicate thread(s) have been merged into it, as I alluded to above.
