In testimony before the U.S. Senate this week. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo confirmed the electoral consequences of illegal aliens streaming into the country to take advantage of President Joe Biden's open border. Specifically, the way that — even without the ability to vote in federal elections — illegal aliens are bolstering Democrat efforts to wield power in Congress and the White House.
The admission came in a line of questioning from Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) about the census — the decennial survey of the U.S. population conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce — and how the way it is currently conducted "encourages illegal immigration."
"Illegal aliens today are counted in the U.S. census, is that correct?" Hagerty asked Raimondo. "Yes, as required by the U.S. Constitution," the Commerce secretary replied.
"This total census population, which includes illegal aliens, is then in turn used for the allocation of congressional districts and electoral votes for each state — is that correct?" Hagerty continued. "Yes," was again Raimondo's reply.
