For some background on what Musk is discussing, consider the following:
Joe Biden issued an executive order in 2021 mandating that all citizens be counted in the US Census, including those who are undocumented immigrants.
According to Fox News:
Experts on immigration are warning that states’ representation in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College might be severely impacted by the growing number of people entering the country illegally.
President Biden issued an executive order shortly after taking office in January 2021 mandating that the U.S. Census Bureau include all residents—including noncitizens—in its decennial population computation. As a result, as long as migrants keep crossing the southern border, the distribution of House seats and, therefore, the electoral votes for presidential elections, may be affected.
“Illegal immigration has all kinds of effects and among them is that it distorts the mechanics of democratic government,” In an interview with Fox News Digital, Mark Krikorian, the Center for Immigration Studies’ executive director, said. “Illegal immigrants aren’t even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of apportionment really is outrageous.”
“There are a lot of close votes in Congress, more than there used to be. So, it can, in fact, make a difference,” Krikorian said. “It shouldn’t be a question of: Does this give you personally more influence in Washington? The question should be: Is it right? Is it healthy for our democratic process to be distorted this way? The answer is no.”
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
In order to stop the practice of exploiting illegal immigrants to gain more House seats, President Trump had intended to include a residency requirement in the US Census.
Large Democratic strongholds like California and New York would lose a great deal of influence if that were to occur.
Elon Musk is 100% correct when he criticizes Democrats for engaging in this dubious behavior.
In actuality, Democrats do not have sufficient sway on the American people on their own.
Therefore, they must increase their influence by bringing in illegal immigrants…
It makes sense why they have little interest in the border situation.
The Western Journal provided further context for Musk’s caution:
Democrats, who are unwilling to alter the practice of counting illegal immigrants in the Census, are benefiting from the unbalanced political landscape.
“Most Americans do not know that the US census currently counts, for purposes of voting power, all people in a district, regardless of citizenship!” Musk shared a post on X Friday that, by of Sunday night, has received 19.2 million views.
“Senate Democrats just voted unanimously to defeat an amendment that would have stopped counting illegals for congressional seat apportionment and electoral college (presidential) votes,” he wrote.
“Most Americans do not know that the US census currently counts, for purposes of voting power, all people in a district, regardless of citizenship!”
Musk pointed out that Democrats benefited by counting illegal immigrants.
“Since illegals are mostly in Democrat states, both the House and the Presidential vote are shifted ~5% to the left, which is enough to change the entire balance of power! This is a major reason why the Biden administration is ushering in record levels of illegals and doing so few deportations,” he wrote.
The post was made concurrently with the defeat of an amendment by Republican Senator Bill Hagerty to forbid the Census from counting undocumented immigrants.
