Fun fact: the average Congressional district has 750,000 people
Most illegal aliens live in blue sanctuary cities
If President Trump deports 10 million illegal aliens, that will save us more than 13 Congressional seats in the 2030 Census
If he deports 20 million?
26…

The U.S. Census determines Congressional representation based on total population, which includes citizens, legal residents, and undocumented immigrants. Each district is designed to represent roughly 750,000 people, though the exact number varies due to population shifts and reapportionment.
Illegal immigration plays a significant role in shaping political power. Many undocumented immigrants reside in blue sanctuary cities, where local governments shield them from federal enforcement. These population concentrations influence Congressional seat allocation, as states with higher undocumented populations gain more representation.
If 10 million illegal immigrants were deported before the 2030 Census, states with large undocumented populations could lose more than 13 Congressional seats. The impact would be even greater if 20 million were removed, potentially shifting 26 seats. This would reshape the balance of power in the House of Representatives, reducing Democratic strongholds and altering future elections.
The political consequences would be profound. States like California, New York, and Illinois, which benefit from inflated population counts, would see their influence diminish. Meanwhile, states with lower undocumented populations could gain seats, strengthening conservative representation. This is not just about immigration—it’s about political control.
Democrats rely on population-based apportionment to maintain their House majority. If undocumented numbers decline significantly, their ability to secure Congressional dominance could weaken for decades. The next Census will be pivotal in determining how representation shifts, and immigration policy will play a central role in that outcome.
