If you look at the three biggest years for naturalizing the most citizens in a given single year, it was 1996.
Bill Clinton's reelection, 2012, Barack Obama's reelection, and 2024, Joe Biden's attempted reelection.
So the Democratic Party has recognized this in terms of new voters.
They also recognize it, Steve, in the context of accumulating political power.
The way we do the census in this country, you've talked about this, is you count people, you don't count citizens.
Places like California are incentivized to have as many illegals as possible because it means more congressional seats.
It means more electoral votes for the presidential election.
It means more block grants from the federal government.
Just the state of California, if you look at the illegal population, they have four more congressional districts as a result of illegals being in that state.
Now, four, you think that may not be a lot?
Put that in context.
Those four congressional seats that illegals effectively get in California, that's more than the congressional delegations of 13 U.S.
states have fewer congressmen representing them than the illegals in California do.
So it's a political winner for Democrats, and they also see it as a transformative force in America.
This is the thing I think that's been ignored or has been brushed away by the mainstream media, which is a lot of these advocacies, whether it's Catholic Charities, whether it's Lutheran Services, whether it's some of the other migrant resettlement groups, they openly say...
that they favor and they support migrants because it's going to have a transformative effect and transform America.
We didn't vote for that.
