New report: Mass migration gives Dem states 24 more seats, electoral votes in 2020
Daniel Horowitz · December 19, 2019
The one question nobody in Washington wants to ask in light of the greatest wave of mass migration in our history is: How much is too much? Quantities matter with most things in life. Yet GOP elites are ignoring the mass migration to their own peril – and political demise, according to a new report.
The Center for Immigration Studies published new estimates of the 2020 census that show states won by President Trump wind up losing 24 seats in the House, corresponding with a loss of 24 electoral votes, thanks to mass migration and our policy of counting immigrants for reapportionment. In total, 26 seats are transferred as a result of factoring in total immigration, which includes those who became naturalized. If you just look at current immigrants who are not naturalized, they cause a transfer of 10 seats, thanks to the policy of counting them along with citizens in state reapportionment. To put that in perspective, Democrats control the house with a majority of only 21 seats, yet that majority is built on the policy of counting immigrants in the political process that should be controlled exclusively by citizens.
“Immigration profoundly redistributes political power at the federal level by changing the apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College,†noted the report’s authors, Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler. While we have counted legal immigrants in the reapportionment for much of our history, most of this distortion of citizen-based reapportionment occurred after the 1965 immigration bill. That is because the foreign-born population has grown roughly four and a half times as a result of that legislation, along with the growth of illegal immigration.
Here is the breakdown of which states are slated to gain or lose seats as a result of total immigration, which includes legal and illegal immigrants:
