In a pivotal legislative decision, the House of Representatives passed the Equal Representation Act on Wednesday with a narrow vote of 206 to 202, strictly along party lines. This new legislation includes the reinstatement of the citizenship question on the United States Census, a move championed by conservatives as a step toward ensuring more accurate census data for federal resource allocation and electoral representation.

A recent article from Fox News explains what is really at stake with the Census count, and how the Democrats are stacking the deck in the House while counting illegal aliens.

Overall, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, there are an estimated 16.8 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. as of June 2023. Therefore, because every House seat represents 761,168 residents on average, the total number of illegal immigrants account for roughly 22 seats in the House.

Proponents of the Act argue that asking about citizenship status is essential for the government to enforce voter registration laws effectively and to provide a clearer demographic overview of the nation. They believe that such data is crucial for proper decision-making at both federal and local levels.

However, opponents, mainly Democrats, express concerns that the inclusion of a citizenship question may deter participation from non-citizen residents. They fear this could lead to an undercount in areas with significant immigrant populations, thus affecting federal funding distribution and fair congressional representation.

The push to include the citizenship question aligns with the efforts of various conservative groups and echoes past initiatives by former President Donald Trump, who had similarly aimed to add the question to the 2020 Census. Despite his administration’s efforts, the move was blocked by the Supreme Court, which demanded a more detailed justification for the question’s inclusion.

The bill, now heading to the Senate where Democrats hold a slight majority, faces an uncertain future. Senate Democrats have previously voiced their opposition to changes in the census methodology, suggesting a challenging path ahead for the Equal Representation Act. If approved, this legislation will significantly alter the landscape of how census data is gathered and utilized in the U.S., impacting resource distribution and electoral processes for years to come.
