It seems that the Republicans are once again trying to adjust the allocation of congressional seats among states by excluding illegal immigrants. However, a new study points out that including illegal immigrants in the past four censuses has had little impact on presidential elections or congressional control. This is truly astonishing, as the Republicans’ ‘great’ plan turns out to be so insignificant. History is amazing in its similarity, isn’t it returning to the old days of using citizenship to divide congressional seats?
