Census Estimates Show California, New York Losing House Seats to Demographic Change

[Wingnut]

Monday’s estimates, which are close approximations of changes to state populations for the last year which ended July 1, project a seat shuffle in the House of Representatives, with Texas and six other states poised to gain seats, while California, New York, and six other states look set to lose representatives.

The upcoming reapportionment is a smaller change than after the 2010 census, when eight states gained 12 House seats from 10 states.

California, which recorded its lowest level of population growth in over a century, lost an estimated 200,000 people to domestic migration over the last year and is expected to lose a Congressional seat for the first time in its history. New York, which the Census estimates lost over 180,000 to domestic migration, will likely lose another House seat after losing two in 2010.

Texas, which gained four seats in 2010, is expected to gain an additional two, while Florida, Arizona, and others are also slated to add seats as demographics shift south.

This runs contrary to what everyone was saying earlier, that illegals would bolster states like California and New York.

This runs contrary to what everyone was saying earlier, that illegals would bolster states like California and New York.

If they really are fleeing places where there is oppressive government, lousy low end living conditions, and violent behaviour, why would they go to New York (city) or California?

More likely, those areas are bleeding middle class folks who want to stay that way.
