Let me get this straight > illegal immigrant-headed households use far more welfare than US-born households > thus, they're dependent on states that fund welfare w/out regard to citizenship > these states gain additional congressional seats via apportionment, and eventually loyal voters when naturalized This is a gerrymandering scheme funded by taxpayers California, for example, spends literally $12b just on free healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants through MediCal It also applies on a district level within a state btw Political parties are meant to gain power by winning voters over with policy and performance. Not by shifting demographics via bribery.
