Pelosi Smacks Trump for Seeking to Exclude Illegal Aliens from Census Count Used to Apportion Congressional Seats

(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) put out a statement on Saturday about an amicus brief the House of Representatives has filed in federal court in a case seeking to force the Trump Administration to include illegal aliens in the population count that will be used to distribute House seats among the states for the coming decade.

There are 435 members of the House of Representatives. Following each decennial Census, these House seats are distributed among the states according to their populations. States with more people get more seats.

On July 21, President Trump issues a memorandum that was titled: “Memorandum on Excluding Illegal Aliens From the Apportionment Base Following the 2020 Census.”

“For the purpose of the reapportionment of Representatives following the 2020 census, it is the policy of the United States to exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), to the maximum extent feasible and consistent with the discretion delegated to the executive branch,” Trump said in his memorandum.

“Excluding these illegal aliens from the apportionment base is more consonant with the principles of representative democracy underpinning our system of Government,” said the president’s memorandum.

“Affording congressional representation, and therefore formal political influence, to States on account of the presence within their borders of aliens who have not followed the steps to secure a lawful immigration status under our laws undermines those principles,” said Trump’s memorandum.

“Many of these aliens entered the country illegally in the first place,” said the memorandum. “Increasing congressional representation based on the presence of aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status would also create perverse incentives encouraging violations of Federal law.”..........

Uh, no.  House seats are distributed among the States according to how many people are allowed to vote.  And it is a violation of federal law for non-citizens to vote in US elections.

Once again, Pelosi reveals her contempt for the Constitution of the United States of America.

Since 1790 we have been counting our citizen population.  Illegal Aliens aren't citizens.    What part if that concept is Botox Nancy oblivious to.

In other words, a State's representation in the House is based on the number of persons who can legally vote.

Seems to be a lot of that going around.

Well, then, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, etc. should lose a crapload of (Communist) voters...

Illegals should be deported, not represented in Congress.

I'm all for them being represented in congress, provided their nation of origin has one.

But just not ours.
