Under American law, non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections. In some areas, non-citizens are allowed to vote in local elections, but that is somewhat limited. Unfortunately, due to an Executive Order signed by President Biden in January 2021, non-citizens and illegal immigrants will have an influence on our presidential and Congressional elections.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Fox News<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n Immigration experts are raising the alarm about how the\u00a0increasing flow of migrants<\/a>\u00a0illegally crossing into the U.S. may significantly impact states’ representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College.<\/strong><\/p>\n Shortly after taking office in January 2021,\u00a0President Biden signed an executive order<\/a>\u00a0requiring that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation of the U.S. population. As a result, the apportionment of House seats and, therefore, electoral votes for presidential elections, could be swayed as migrants continue to pour over the southern border.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Illegal immigration has all kinds of effects and among them is that it distorts the mechanics of democratic government,” Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Illegal immigrants aren’t even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of apportionment really is outrageous.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “There are a lot of close votes in Congress, more than there used to be. So, it can, in fact, make a difference,” Krikorian said. “It shouldn’t be a question of: Does this give you personally more influence in Washington? The question should be: Is it right? Is it healthy for our democratic process to be distorted this way? The answer is no.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The next President can overturn this order if he chooses to. Vote carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Under American law, non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections.
