Missouri Strikes Fear In Every Democrat: Sues Commerce Dept. for To Exclude Illegals In Census

Another red state has stepped up to right a wrong that, if successful, could mean the end of the Democratic Party as a power player in American politics.

In a first-of-its-kind legal move, Catherine Hanaway filed a federal lawsuit Friday that should send a chill through the political establishment — and strike fear into the heart of the sanctuary crowd. Missouri is suing the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau, demanding an end to the practice of counting illegal aliens in the decennial census and calling for a recount of the 2020 Census that excludes non-citizens from the population totals used for congressional apportionment.

She tweeted:

United States citizens have a right to representation, NOT illegal aliens. United States citizens should decide electoral votes and congressional seats, NOT illegal aliens.

We are suing @uscensusbureau for unconstitutionally allowing illegal aliens to commandeer the path to The White House and compromise our elections.

The lawsuit argues that including illegal aliens and temporary visa holders in the census tally dilutes the representation of U.S. citizens, transfers political power to states that harbor large numbers of illegal immigrants, and undermines the principle that only the people governed should determine who governs them. Missouri’s complaint claims that the current system unfairly shifts congressional seats and Electoral College votes to states with higher illegal-alien populations — effectively “commandeering the path to the White House and compromising our elections.”

“The State of Missouri and its voters can no longer ignore the ongoing denial of their right to self-government and fair representation,” said Hanaway in a press release. “United States citizens and lawful permanent residents have a right to representation, unlike illegal aliens and temporary visa holders. In America, the People, the members of the social compact, are the only legitimate source of the government’s power. We are taking a stand against those who are cheating our system.”
