About 7-in-10 United States registered voters support excluding illegal aliens when it comes to determining representation in Congress, a new poll reveals.
A poll by Rasmussen Reports and Just the News Daily finds that voters overwhelmingly support excluding illegal aliens from congressional apportionment counts, which determine how many representatives each state receives in Congress.
Overall, about 70 percent of all voters said they support excluding illegal aliens from such counts - including nearly 30 percent who want only citizens counted.
A majority of Republican voters, 52 percent, said they support counting only citizens in the counts, while 57 percent of Democrats and 65 percent of swing voters said they support excluding illegal aliens.
Liberals are the most likely of any group to say illegal aliens should be counted in congressional apportionment counts, while conservatives are the most likely to want only citizens counted.
The sanctuary state of California has filed suit against Trump for the memorandum, admitting in their legal case that their 2.2 million-strong illegal alien population is used every ten years to drive up their congressional representation in Washington, DC. Before Trump's memorandum, red states that disincentivize illegal immigration were set to lose congressional representation.
A 2018 analysis by Breitbart News determined that only counting American citizens - excluding all non-citizens, including illegal aliens - in congressional apportionment, would shift political power away from coastal states to middle America.
