California would be the biggest winner in the sanctuary vote scam, as it would gain 11 more congressional seats due to immigrants and their young children being counted in the census.
President Trump is once again pushing to exclude illegal aliens from the census count used to determine congressional representation and Electoral College votes.
On January 20, 2025, he rescinded a Biden-era executive order that had mandated counting all residents regardless of immigration status, signaling his intent to revisit the policy. The president argues that including undocumented immigrants dilutes the political power of U.S. citizens and amounts to a form of voter suppression.
Trump declared that “States adopting policies that encourage illegal aliens to enter this country and that hobble Federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress should not be rewarded with greater representation in the House of Representatives”.
