    Mo Brooks: The 15M Illegal Aliens in U.S. Give Blue States 20 Congressional Seats

    Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says the counting of illegal aliens when dividing up congressional seats and electoral college votes is a violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

    Brooks, along with the state of Alabama, are suing the federal government for their counting of illegal aliens, rather than citizens, in congressional apportionment and the dividing up of electoral college votes.
    In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot Channel’s Breitbart News Saturday, Brooks revealed that should the Congress continue dividing up congressional seats and electoral college votes based on all persons in each district—including illegal aliens—rather than the number of American citizens, that the state of Alabama is set to lose a congressional seat.

    We’re probably in the neighborhood of about 15 million illegal aliens in America now. 15 million comes out to roughly 20 congressional seats and 20 electoral college votes. Each congressional seat has roughly 700,000 to 800,000 people in it. [Emphasis added]

    So, if you count illegal aliens in the Census for the purposes of distributing political power, that’s the number of congressmen per state or … the number of electoral college votes per state, you’re talking about … 20 electoral college votes and congressmen that are taken from states that follow our laws, that help our border patrol agents, and help our ICE agents … shifting those 20 congressional seats and 20 electoral college seats to states like California that have large numbers of illegal aliens in them.

    Congressional apportionment is based on population without regard to citizenship or eligibility to vote; this produces "rotten" districts with relatively few actual voters.

    In Nov. 2010 there were fourteen districts where the total vote cast was less than 100K, and many were won with less than 50K votes:

    AZ-04 Ed Pastor(D) won with 62K votes
    CA-20 Jim Costa(D) won with 46K votes
    CA-31 Xavier Becerra(D) won with 76K votes
    CA-34 Lucille Roybal-Allard(D) won with 69K votes
    CA-47 Loretta Sanchez(D) won with 51K votes
    IL-04 Luis Gutierrez(D) won with 63K votes
    NJ-13 Albio Sires(D) won with 63K votes
    NY-07 Joseph Crowley(D) won with 71K votes
    NY-12 Nydia Velasquez(D) won with 69K votes
    NY-16 Jose Serrano(D) won with 62K votes
    TX-15 Ruben Hinojosa(D) won with 54K votes
    TX-16 Silvestre Reyes(D) won with 49K votes
    TX-20 Charles Gonzalez(D) won with 59K votes
    TX-29 Gene Green(D) won with 43K votes

    Many, many congressional candidates lost their races getting more votes than these "winners" did.
