In 2009 there were an estimated illegal alien population in the United States of 11.9 million.

That was Barack Obama’s first year in office.

After eight more years of the Obama open border – catch and release policies it is safe to say that number likely rose by another 5-10 million.

And in 2019 federal officials estimate that another one million illegal aliens will be caught crossing the southern border into the United States.

What many Americans don’t realize is that the US census counts these illegal aliens when they decide apportionment of federal funds and representation in Congress.

So California, the state with the most illegal aliens, receives up to 5 or more congressional seats thanks to illegal aliens.

As Michelle Malkin reported today illegal aliens helped liberal California gain more seats in Congress and this also affects the presidential election.

The Census is used to divvy up seats in the House as a proportion of their population based on the head count. The redistribution of power extends to presidential elections because the Electoral College is pegged to the size of congressional delegations. More people equal more seats. More illegal immigrants equal more power. Indeed, the Center for Immigration Studies determined that in the 2000 election cycle, the presence of noncitizens (illegal immigrants, temporary visitors and green card holders) caused nine seats in the House to switch hands. California added six seats it would not have had otherwise. Texas, New York and Florida each gained a seat. Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin each lost a seat. Montana, Kentucky and Utah each failed to secure a seat they would otherwise have gained.

And far left groups are used for head counts.

During the last census under President Barack Obama, with $300 billion in federal funding at stake, social justice groups from Soros-funded ACORN to Soros-funded Voto Latino to the Soros-allied SEIU were enlisted to count heads and help noncitizens feel “safe.”

The Trump administration better ensure this does not happen this time around.

The future of the nation is at stake.
