Could this be why as I claimed over a year ago?


A possible answer can be found in an executive order that President Biden signed on the first day of his presidency. It reverses former President Trump’s memorandum that excluded undocumented immigrants from the decennial census that is used to determine how many seats states will have in the House of Representatives.


Undocumented migrants tend to settle in Democratically controlled cities that have adopted sanctuary policies that protect them from the threat of deportation, so any additional seats are likely to benefit the Democrats.


Biden claims that our “elected representatives have a responsibility to represent the interests of all people residing in the United States and affected by our laws.” If congressional representatives have a responsibility to represent undocumented immigrants, though, why have they legislated statutory provisions that make them deportable? How is that representing their interests?


The interests being represented in this situation are those of the Democratic Party, not those of the border crossers Biden is releasing into the country.
