Another way to say it, the power of citizens to influence the government is being weakened on purpose. Illegals aren't in the house, but extra seats are being given to blue states due to their illegal population. This is something Trump tried to stop during the last census unsuccessfully.
Overall, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, there are an estimated 16.8 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. as of June 2023. Therefore, because every House seat represents 761,168 residents on average, the total number of illegal immigrants account for roughly 22 seats in the House.
Ha,, Okay, now I get it. Thank you. It's a frustrating situation and I feel like no one is doing anything about it. (Because they aren't) I'm not doing anything about it either, am I to blame? I don't even know anymore.
Frustrating for sure, the "solution" given to us is to vote for people to enact policies to deal with the situation. We see how well that is working.
