Ryan Seacrest: 我收到了听众关于2030年人口普查的问题,以及非法移民如何影响各州获得的国会席位数量。这不仅对众议院很重要,对选举人团也很重要,因为选举人团的票数取决于各州在众议院拥有的席位数。在2022年,布伦南中心预测,由于疫情影响,蓝州将失去席位,而红州将获得席位。但布伦南中心更新了预测,显示红州获得的席位减少,原因是移民。移民正在弥补蓝州治理失败造成的损失。例如,在2023年至2024年间,有58,158名美国人离开了布鲁克林,但由于有37,000名移民迁入,布鲁克林的人口实际上增加了25,000人。这意味着纽约不仅不会失去三个席位,甚至可能不会失去两个席位。移民奖励了失败的蓝州,剥夺了红州本应获得的席位。研究人员回顾了1980年以来的数据,发现如果不计算非法移民,一些州的国会席位将会发生变化。自1980年以来,加利福尼亚州额外获得了10个国会席位,这要归功于非法移民。由于非法移民的存在,住在纽约州Nydia Vasquez选区的人的选票比住在俄亥俄州中部的人的选票价值更低,这是一种不公平的代表。 RJ Holman: 国会席位和选举人团的票数应该代表美国人民,公民和选民,而不是所有在我国领土上的人。目前的法律规定,人口普查计算所有人口,包括非公民和非法移民,用于分配国会选区和确定总统选举人。拜登政府故意引进大量非法移民,这实际上是在奖励民主党,而那些执行法律的州则受到惩罚。特朗普总统试图纠正这个问题,但他发布的命令在拜登上任的第一天就被推翻了。像加利福尼亚州这样的庇护州,由于拥有数百万非公民,因此在国会和选举人团中获得了更多的席位和影响力,而那些遵守法律的州则会因此受到损失。这种做法为开放边界州创造了巨大的动机,使它们可以继续藐视联邦移民法。“平等代表法案”是一个很好的解决方案,该法案将在人口普查中增加公民身份问题,并要求仅计算公民人数以进行国会席位分配和选举人票分配。这种做法将恢复我们整个政治体系的公平性,因为代表权就是权力,而我们现在正在将权力交给那些不应该在这里的人。如果你问一个美国公民,你是否希望你的选票被稀释,无论是国会代表权还是选举人团票数,每个人都会说“不”。
