Andy Biggs: Counting Illegals in Census Will Give a State a Disproportionate Number of Congressional Seats and Electoral Votes
RUSH EXCERPT:
BIGGS: “Mike, you know what this is about, in the Constitution itself, the reason that you take a census is not to find out how many toilets or stoves or refrigerators or TVs or cell phones you have. It’s to apportion the voters for congressional districts. That’s what the census is wall about. Then it would be transported to the states for legislative districts. If you’re counting illegal aliens who are in this country, people who cannot vote, because they’re here illegally Russian watering down the votes of people who are here lemly. California gets a disproportionate number of congressional seats and electoral votes for the president, than, say, Wisconsin which has far fewer illegal aliens in their population. It is a fairness issue to get at the bottom of this. I think they’re really going to try and get it done, fighting an uphill bootle.”
