The Great Replacement Scheme: How Illegal Immigrants Inflate Democrat Power in Congress and the Electoral College

This should be the single biggest priority for the Republican Party before midterms. Ensuring the Census only counts US Citizens ENDS the Democrat Party Rep Tim Burchett “Are illegal immigrants counted in the US Census?” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “Yes” Rep Tim Burchett “Is that data collected by the census used to decide how many congressional districts and electoral college votes a state gets?” Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “it is” Again, this should be the biggest priority to change. Democrats would be projected to lose a minimum of 27 congressional seats without illegals


In a bombshell clip that’s exploding across X, posted by @WallStreetApes (Above) , Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) grills Census Bureau Director Robert Santos during a House Oversight Committee hearing. “Are illegal immigrants counted in the US Census?” Burchett asks point-blank. Santos sheepishly admits, “Yes.” Burchett follows up: “Is that data collected by the census used to decide how many congressional districts and electoral college votes a state gets?” Again, Santos confirms, “It is.” This exchange lays bare the Democrats’ dirty secret: Their open-border policies aren’t just about “compassion”—they’re a calculated power grab, flooding blue states with illegals to steal House seats and electoral votes from red America. As the post declares, ensuring the census only counts U.S. citizens would “END the Democrat Party,” with projections showing they’d lose at least 27 congressional seats without this illicit boost.

This isn’t hyperbole—it’s math. The U.S. Constitution mandates a census every decade to apportion House seats and, by extension, Electoral College votes based on total population, not citizenship. That means every illegal alien squatting in sanctuary cities counts toward a state’s clout in Washington. Democrat strongholds like California, New York, and Illinois, which roll out the red carpet for migrants with freebies and no-deportation policies, reap the rewards. Meanwhile, red states like Texas and Florida—despite their own influxes—see their citizen votes diluted as power shifts leftward. Experts warn that under Biden-Harris’s border catastrophe, which has unleashed over 10 million illegals since 2021, blue states could gain even more unearned seats in the 2030 reapportionment. Take California: Home to an estimated 3 million illegals, the Golden State has ballooned its congressional delegation thanks to this scam.

Without counting non-citizens, California would lose multiple House seats—and with them, Electoral College votes that could swing presidential elections. Fox News reports that illegal immigration alone could hand Democrats extra seats in states like New York and Illinois, while robbing representation from heartland conservatives in Ohio, Alabama, and West Virginia. A 2019 study highlighted how post-1965 immigration reforms, pushed by liberals like Ted Kennedy, have skewed power toward Democrats by redistributing 26 congressional seats to blue areas through mass migration. National Review quantifies it starkly: Democrats have “gained electoral votes by the addition—strategic or otherwise—of illegal immigrants,” turning sanctuary policies into a voter-suppression tool against citizens. This rigged system doesn’t stop at seats—it funnels billions in federal funds to Democrat havens. States get more taxpayer dollars for programs like Medicaid and education based on inflated populations, rewarding politicians who harbor criminals.

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) calls it a “sheer power grab,” shocked that most Americans don’t know illegals are counted for apportionment. The Heritage Foundation slams it as unconstitutional theft: “Democratic-controlled states have gained congressional seats by welcoming and harboring illegal aliens,” while President Trump’s efforts to exclude non-citizens from the census were sabotaged by leftist courts. Even Elon Musk, in a viral takedown of Don Lemon, explained how this “insane” setup helps Democrats: Illegals boost census numbers in blue states, giving them more House seats and EC votes without a single illegal casting a ballot. Biden’s border betrayal is no accident—it’s the linchpin of this scheme. By flying in migrants on taxpayer-funded charters and ignoring deportations, Democrats are engineering demographic shifts to lock in power. The Federalist reports that a GOP bill to exclude illegals from apportionment—the Equal Representation Act—was shot down by Senate Democrats, who know it would cripple their majority. Four red states recently sued to block illegals from the census, arguing it violates the 14th Amendment by rewarding lawlessness.

As Fox News opines, why should sanctuary states like California be “rewarded with more political power” for shielding illegals? Historical precedents prove the point. The 2010 census factored in illegals, helping blue states gain seats while red ones lost out. Fast-forward to 2020: Immigration-driven population growth handed extra clout to Democrat bastions, influencing everything from the House majority to presidential outcomes. National Review details how immigrants “redistribute political power without voting,” diluting conservative voices in flyover country. Breitbart exposes New York City’s Democrats scrambling to keep illegals on the 2030 census to preserve their “power-hungry” grip on federal funds and seats. Republicans have fought back, but spineless RINOs and Democrat obstructionism prevail. Trump’s 2020 memo to exclude illegals was struck down by activist judges, and recent bills like H.R. 7109 met the same fate. Heritage urges immediate action: Stop letting non-citizens “determine congressional and presidential” power.

If we counted only citizens, Democrats could lose up to 50 electoral votes, flipping close races and ending their stranglehold. This isn’t about diversity—it’s election rigging by proxy. Democrats decry “voter suppression” while suppressing citizen votes through imported populations.

As Burchett’s clip shows, the GOP’s top priority must be census reform: Count citizens only, deport the rest, and watch the blue wave crumble. America’s future depends on ending this insidious scheme before it’s too late.
