Report: NYC’s Power-Hungry Democrats Want to Keep Illegal Aliens on 2030 Census
New York Democrats are reportedly trying to inflate the city’s share of seats in Congress and of federal funding by keeping illegal aliens in the federal 2030 census.
The New York Times reported Thursday that “a coalition of elected officials, community activists, and labor and civic leaders in New York City” is planning ahead for the 2030 census, as Republicans push to have noncitizens excluded from congressional districting counts.
New York Democrats fear they will lose at least two of their 26 seats in the House, according to the Times:
Now there is growing alarm over the Trump administration’s immigration raids and over a renewed push by Republican lawmakers to require the census to ask respondents whether they are U.S. citizens and to exclude noncitizens from counts used to apportion congressional seats.
More than 4.5 million migrants live in New York State, about 23.1 percent of its total population, according to a breakdown of 2023 census data from the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. Of those 4.5 million, about 1.8 million are noncitizens.
Jeffrey M. Wice, a census expert and adjunct professor at New York Law School, said that the state already stood to lose two more congressional seats based on current population estimates and could lose even more if noncitizens were excluded from the counts.
It is important to note that Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), who represents Brooklyn’s Ninth Congressional District, in January 2024 revealed why she personally wants illegal aliens coming into the United States, stating, “I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes,” RedState reported at the time.
