How Illegal Immigrants Can Elect Our President

Politico had an interesting piece:

Illegal immigrants—along with other noncitizens without the right to vote—may pick the 2016 presidential winner…

The right to vote is intended to be a singular privilege of citizenship. But the 1787 Constitutional Convention rejected allowing the people to directly elect their President. The delegates chose instead our Electoral College system, under which 538 electoral votes distributed amongst the states determine the presidential victor. The Electoral College awards one elector for each U.S. Senator, thus 100 of the total, and D.C. gets three electors pursuant to the 23rd Amendment. Those electoral numbers are unaffected by the size of the noncitizen population. The same cannot be said for the remaining 435, more than 80 percent of the total, which represent the members elected to the House.

The distribution of these 435 seats is not static: they are reapportioned every ten years to reflect the population changes found in the census. That reallocation math is based on the relative “whole number of persons in each state,” as the formulation in the 14th Amendment has it. When this language was inserted into the U.S. Constitution, the concept of an “illegal immigrant,” as the term is defined today, had no meaning. Thus the census counts illegal immigrants and other noncitizens equally with citizens. Since the census is used to determine the number of House seats apportioned to each state, those states with large populations of illegal immigrants and other noncitizens gain extra seats in the House at the expense of states with fewer such “whole number of persons.”

It goes on to point out how just with a basic analysis which removes illegals from state population counts, seven electors would be taken from large states with dense populations that typically go to Democrats, among them California and New York. Many of those seven electors taken from the Democrats would then likely have gone to low population states which normally go Republican. If Democrat states lose four electors, and Republican states gain four, then as of now Republicans begin with roughly an eight elector disadvantage they need to overcome – strictly due to illegals, even though they do not vote. Of course that math assumes there are only 11-12 million illegals in the US. The real number may be as high as 40 million or more, especially since Obama opened the flood gates and forbid deportation.

Is it any wonder Democrats want to import illegals, and allow them to stay illegally in our nation? Suddenly all of Obama’s executive orders appear a lot more strategic, and Donald Trump’s candidacy appears a lot more important. Also important – ejecting the GOPe who have shown themselves to be nothing more than self-interested traitors, stabbing their supporters right in the back through their support for keeping illegals in our nation.

23rd Amendment – March 1961 (ratification)
Cloward-Piven Strategy proposal – May 1966

Reminds me of something that the author Ian Fleming is reputed to have said: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”
