Since taking office in 2021, President Joe Biden has used the illegal-immigration policies of open borders; importing, releasing, and paroling “migrants”; and stopping the deportation of illegal aliens to remake the nation through demographic change.
Democrats know those millions of “migrants” might well become citizens and then Democratic voters. But even before that, they alter the apportionment of congressional seats because they are counted in the decennial census.
But the GOP took two measures this week to stop the nefarious plan. Yesterday, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill that would stop the census from counting illegals. That would stop the mass influx of Biden “migrants” from changing election maps.
On the same day, Texas U.S. Representative Chip Roy led Republicans in introducing a bill to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
Unhappily, neither bill has a chance of seeing the light of day in the Senate — at least not unless the GOP keeps the House and takes control of the upper chamber in November’s elections.
No Voting for Illegals
For now, Roy’s is the more urgent bill because the next census is 2030, while another federal election is just months away, and millions of illegals and Biden “migrants” are marching to the country with the grim determination of the Orcs in Lord of the Rings.
“Radical progressive Democrats are taking drastic steps to fundamentally remake America through open borders, the release of millions of illegal aliens into our communities, and by waging a full-scale assault on election integrity laws,” a fact sheet explains, reprising a statement from Roy.
Biden has released some 4.6 million to colonize the heartland and major cities, and at least 1.8 million are gotaways — those who slipped past border agents.
Blue states are giving the illegals driver’s licenses and “providing ample opportunities to illegally register to vote in Federal elections,” the fact sheet says:
In some jurisdictions, non-citizens are even able to vote in local elections. While only U.S. citizens can legally vote in Federal elections, Federal law has generally preempted and undermined state laws requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in such elections.
Thus Roy’s bill. The ID required to prove citizenship includes the following:
- ID that conforms to the REAL ID Act of 2005;
- U.S. military with documentation of birth in the United States;
- a valid state, federal, or tribal ID that proves birth in the United States, or one accompanied by a state or tribal birth certificate;
- a hospital record that shows birth in the United States;
- adoption papers that show birth in the United States;
- a consular report of a citizen’s birth abroad, or the same from the secretary of state;
- a naturalization certificate; and,
- an American Indian Card issued under the Kickapoo Act of 1983.
The law will forbid a state from processing an application to register an applicant to vote unless he provides proof of citizenship. It also requires states to accommodate disabled Americans and those with ID discrepancies because of a name change.
States must remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and they receive free access to federal records to help do so.
Importantly, citizens will have the right to sue election officials who don’t purge the rolls of noncitizens and election officials who attempt voter fraud by permitting noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
Utah GOP Senator Mike Lee introduced a companion bill. “Illegal immigrants and non-citizens across the nation are being improperly registered to vote, allowing them to cast illegitimate ballots in federal elections,” he said. “Voting is both a sacred right and responsibility of American citizenship, and allowing the people of other nations access to our elections is a grave blow to our security and self-governance.”
Census Bill
The census bill, introduced by North Carolina GOP Representative Chuck Edwards, is straightforward:
“In conducting the 2030 decennial census and each decennial census thereafter, the Secretary shall include in any questionnaire distributed or otherwise used for the purpose of determining the total population by States a checkbox or other similar option for the respondent to indicate, for the respondent and for each of the members of the household of the respondent, whether that individual is a citizen of the United States,” the bill says.
The bill amends 2 US Code Section 2(a) with the italicized text this way:
“On the first day, or within one week thereafter, of the first regular session of the Eighty-second Congress and of each fifth Congress thereafter, the President shall transmit to the Congress a statement showing the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed and individuals who are not citizens of the United States.”
If it becomes law, it will stop the Biden-sponsored invasion of illegal aliens from altering the apportionment of congressional seats, because they won’t be counted in the 2030 or future censuses.
The bill passed along party lines, 206-202. Democrats voted en masse to permit illegal aliens to alter the American electoral landscape.
Not surprisingly, NPR lied in its headline about the bill: “Republicans in Congress are trying to reshape election maps by excluding noncitizens.”
In fact, knowing illegals are counted in the census, Biden and Democrats are “trying to reshape election maps” by importing millions of noncitizens from the Third World who will radically alter apportionment by adding seats to Congress.
Biden and the Democrats also know those noncitizens are likely here to stay and might well become citizens and Democrat voters.
As Roy said, the Democrats’ goal is “one-party rule.”
