Senate Democrats Block Bill That Would Ban Illegal Immigrants From Voting
Politics,Migrants,Voting,US Senate
With the 2024 presidential election coming up and millions of illegal aliens storming the southern border, Republicans are taking a stand from letting another 2020 election happen.
However, Democrats are trying to squash the GOP’s efforts of upholding election integrity.
This week, Senate Democrats shot down proposed legislation that would exclude illegal immigrants from being counted on the census for the purposes of apportionment for House seats and the Electoral College.
Proposed by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) to add an amendment to the $460 billion spending package, the legislation would require the Census Bureau to include a U.S. citizenship question in any future census. It would ban any illegal immigrants and non- U.S. Citizens from being counted for congressional district and Electoral College apportionment.
However, 51 Democrats and Independents voted against the bill.
