Doesn’t it seem odd to vote against deporting illegals who commit a crime?

I think more people should be informed on the incentive structures around illegal immigration.

Before reading this post were you aware that the census counts ALL people, including illegal immigrants, for deciding how many House seats each state gets?

I’m curious how informed people are on this.

Yes, and I'm also aware of the states that lose population in large amounts will also lose a congressional seat

Half didn’t know, and that’s among the people on this platform, who are on average more political

Yep - seems like we need an awareness campaign on this issue.
