New report: Mass migration gives Dem states 24 more seats, electoral votes in 2020

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.

"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.

Ohio will have three fewer seats in 2020 than it otherwise would have had but for the presence of all immigrants and their minor children in other states.

California will have 11 more seats in 2020 than it otherwise would have; New York and Texas will have four more seats each; Florida will have three more seats; New Jersey will have two more seats; and Illinois and Massachusetts will each have one additional seat.

Overall, 19 of the total 26 seats transferred in reapportionment due to immigration will be awarded to "Solid" Democrat states: California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Illinois.

"Illegal immigrants alone in 2020 will redistribute three seats, with Ohio, Alabama, and Minnesota each having one fewer seat than they otherwise would have had, while California, New York, and Texas will have one additional seat," note the authors.

The Founders didn't want states to imprudently bring in more immigrants than were good for the country at large just to juice up their numbers at the expense of other states.
