“Yeah, I think we just had a guest talking about this issue. This is accurate. They’re counting illegal immigrants in the census because they want to get more members of Congress and more electoral votes.” It’s to move illegal immigrants into the state. It’s purely political. So he’s willing to trade America’s security — whether it’s terrorism, drugs, or other crimes.

“So what’s going to happen in the upcoming election? Are you worried that they’re going to try to get illegal aliens to vote? Look, AG Merrick Garland has said he’s going to fight and vow to fight voter ID laws. ” Bartiromo responded.

Reason 1. There’s only one. We debated this in the Texas House of Representatives in 2011, and I was there. The only reason we don’t need voter fraud prevention or voter ID is because we need voter fraud. And that’s because we need voter fraud. That’s clearly what this administration is pushing for,” Paxton said.
