It’s utterly amazing to listen to people try to defend counting non-citizens for apportionment in the US House.

I’ve written several articles on this and the “backlash” is amusing.  Among the claims is that non-citizens are entitled to representation.  No they’re not.  They’re entitled to human rights (because no government gives you those) but not representation in the halls of Congress.

The premise that a non-citizen has a voice in the Halls of Congress and has any right to influence said policy is outrageous.  In fact it’s beyond outrageous, especially in the context of the 14th Amendment, which was clearly passed to deal with the situation of newly-freed slaves.

See, slaves that were alive in the late 1800s were nearly all born from non-citizen parents; that is, other slaves brought into the United States from some other nation.  Those people were never naturalized as they were considered property and thus couldn’t make such an application.  So you free the slaves with the 13th Amendment but, with very, very few exceptions they can’t vote in federal elections!

If you read The Congressional Record this was the entire background behind the changes Amendment 14 made with regard to enumeration and citizenship.  It was simply never envisioned that this nation would permit lawless individuals to come here and poop out children suddenly claiming citizenship for them and the right to stay and access government services as their parents.

In fact such a series of actions has a long and sordid history in the world and America was one place where it was never tolerated.  The most-outrageous example of it was the Mongol Invasions and Genghis Khan, who single-handed fathered hundreds of children, most by rape.  He is in fact the most-prolific male “stud” in human history and it is estimated that one in two hundred people alive today can be traced to his lineage!

He didn’t “ask”; he and his invading armies came, in most cases murdered all the men and then forcibly replaced themselves with the women already there, literally screwing themselves into whatever society and nation they took over.

Other nations do the right thing — non-citizens attempting to influence any form of legislative process are not only immediately removed and barred from future entry in many cases they’re subject to prosecution.  Mexico is one of those nations but hardly the only one; indeed, this is nearly a universal law among civilized nations and with good cause.  Only those who are citizens in a civilized nation have the right to influence politics and policy; all others are barred.  It is for this reason that the FEC requires that only citizens be able to make election contributions.  Clearly, non-citizen voices, when it comes to representation, do not count.

But it is exactly this sort of nonsense — that non-citizens should and have a voice in the Halls of Congress — that the Left embraces.  Diluting the voting rights of all who do not agree to participate in such is an act in furtherance of the forcible destruction of our representative system of government.   That is, those who do not permit illegal invaders to come into their areas who as their first act break the law, be unlawfully employed making their second act breaking employment laws and in many cases stealing identities, an act of fraud against the person who has their identity stolen, and then as a reward for allowing that lawless behavior those regions, towns and House districts gain superior voting rights in that the divisor is smaller for each vote per-representative.

While in California as a whole about 15% of the population is non-citizen in some districts on a percentage basis it is much higher.  In those districts citizen votes have a much higher weight than do those of citizens anywhere else in the country; these citizens are effectively given superior voting power by virtue of destruction of our national security, national identity and borders.

This is blatantly unconstitutional and really is no different, in terms of “sanctuary” policies and similar, than Genghis Khan and his Mongols in terms of intent.

The intent is to render such criminal invasive conduct so normalized that eventually it results in overthrow of the enitre premise of citizenship; that one gains representation by virtue of citizenship through the election process.

Giving greater weight to votes as a direct consequence of and in proportion to non-citizen presence in a given district is in fact no different in outcome or intent than ****ing one’s way to conquest.  It leads to exactly the same result and destroys the value of citizenship and the national identity of the country.

Further, if you think there is not bone-crushing, third-world level poverty in this nation I can show it to you right here and now.  I saw a pocket of it yesterday.  I’ll be happy to drop you off in the middle of it and let you see how it works out for you.  Yes, it’s in pockets here and there but that doesn’t make it less real.  For the four insanity-riven nutjobs pushing this open-borders crap while we have that situation existing in our own nation, with our citizens, right ****ing now is an outrage.  It is such an outrage that these four deserve to be dropped right in the middle of it in their underwear so they can see what it’s like living in conditions that are literally worse that the tin huts most of these “refugees” are coming from.

There are things worth going to war over.

This is one of them as it is not a matter of voting by representative process or amendment of the Constitution via its process.  It is in fact forced at gunpoint on those who will not permit unlawful invasion of their districts — who insist on and adhere to the rule of law.  Those who adhere to the rule of law, at its logical conclusion, have their votes diminished to ineffectiveness at which point the entire Constitutional identity of the nation is lost.

We did not wait for the Japanese to land in California to go to war. Nor did we wait for them to land in Hawaii and take even that land from the United States.  No, the clear intent — by blowing up ships and bombing both people and things — was enough.
