Don't take this the wrong way, but you strike me as a simpleton, Tiger.

I'd venture to say the reality is the vast majority are all for securing the border and enforcing immigration law. And fwiw, I do think the census counting "all" residents for apportionment is a legitimately debatable topic.

That said, your meme goes waaaaaay beyond that. If Democrats' entire power structure hinges on illegal immigrants and fraud, could you explain to the board how Republicans won the WH, both chambers of Congress and are making gains in states that have large immigrant populations? You can't have it both ways...argue that the Dems rely on illegal immigrants to win elections and explain away Republicans winning those same elections.

That really only leaves two possibilities, right? Either illegal immigration has far less impact on election outcomes than your cute little meme claims. OR Republicans are somehow overcoming this supposedly YUGE structural advantage.

The first explanation seems a lot more plausible to me. What say you?

You strike me as a person that doesnt grasp the total concept of whats going on and has a very narrow point of view on the subject. Hakeem Jeffries pretty much admitted this on tv. But just to give you an idea of the plot, its not just votes they get but they also get to pad the House by counting illegals as voters. Cali would lose up to 5 districts if the population was adjusted to what it should be. Thats 5 seats the Dems would lose on the House...

I understand the apportionment argument, hence why I said it's a legitimate topic for debate. But that wasn't my question. My question to the OP was, Democrats' power structure depends on illegal immigration then how did Republicans win the presidency, both chambers of Congress and are making gains in high-immigration states under the same rules?

Oh, and not to be nitpicky but since you called me out for not "grasping the total concept," one small correction...you said the census counts illegal immigrants as voters. It doesn't. The census counts persons for purposes of congressional apportionment, not voters.

in some areas yes. The margins are small. When the Dems win by just over 10000 votes and after the election we discover there were 60000 illegal votes counted then yes it matters. Take away the seats that shouldnt be there to begin with the Dems can block the will of the people when they shouldnt be able too....
