Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) has claimed that if the more than ten million people who have illegally crossed the border in recent years are accurately allocated in certain areas, it could lead to 13 additional congressional districts favoring Democrats in future elections.
“They want these illegal migrants in here to create more electoral power for them in their blue states. They’re basically creating sanctuary cities to be a magnet, so these people will disproportionately flow to these blue states,” Mr. Hagerty said.
“Since Joe Biden came into office, the estimates are as high as ten million people that have come in here, that would be 13 extra congressional districts if you allocated them the right way,” he added.
According to Mr. Hagerty, the sheer number of illegal immigrants is a “tremendous amount of power,” that will result in Democrat voters having “disproportionately more power than they are giving my voters in Tennessee.”
He also claims U.S. citizens are fleeing sanctuary cities in droves due to the vast numbers of illegal immigrants.
A sanctuary city is a jurisdiction where authorities may limit cooperation with the federal government’s efforts to enforce immigration law. At the moment, roughly 200 cities, counties, and states are considered sanctuary cities in the United States, with New Orleans and New York City among them.
“Citizens are leaving New York. They’re leaving Illinois. They’re leaving California, where the sanctuary city is located,” Mr. Hagerty said.
“New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, they’re actually creating these magnets so they can backfill and create more ‘bodies’ to count so that they can get more electoral votes.”
“Her district, the same one that Chuck Schumer used to have when he served in the Congress, her district, the school, to go home and study on Zoom because they needed that schoolhouse to house illegal migrants,” Mr. Hagerty said.
“That’s what’s happening here in America, that’s the motive behind the crime at our border.”
“If Dems win President, House & Senate, with enough seats to overcome filibuster, they'll grant citizenship to all illegals & America will become a permanent one-party deep socialist state,” he said.
