Even the most ardent follower of immigration issues may have missed it. After all, in recent weeks, cable news has been — justifiably — covering the gruesome murder of Laken Riley, the rape of a juvenile in Louisiana, and the rape of yet another child in a Massachusetts migrant center, all allegedly by illegal aliens. But a recent U.S. Senate vote that was largely ignored by the media spoke volumes about one of the left’s underlying motives for fueling mass illegal immigration, and for allowing tragedies like these to continue.
By a 45-51 vote, Senate Democrats defeated U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty’s (R-Tenn.) amendment to bar federal funding from being used for a national census that does not accurately count illegal alien and U.S. citizen populations in the country. The amendment also would’ve prohibited funds from being used to count illegal aliens for purposes of congressional district and Electoral College apportionments.
Senator Hagerty’s response to the partisan vote was swift and blunt: “Democrats’ unanimous opposition to this commonsense measure confirms that they’re using illegal aliens and sanctuary cities to increase their political power.”
