Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy on Wednesday pressed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on what he said were facts about illegal immigration’s electoral impact.
The Census Bureau includes illegal immigrants in its count, and congressional seats are based on the data from the census, according to the bureau’s website. Kennedy asked Mayorkas questions on this topic, but the DHS secretary found fault with the “phrasing” and appeared to lose his temper with the senator.
“Isn’t it a fact, Mr. Secretary, that the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Kennedy asked.
Mayorkas first claimed he didn’t understand Kennedy’s question.
He then claimed, “The notion, senator, that we intend to allow illegal immigration is nothing short of preposterous. It is disrespectful to the extraordinarily hard work that we perform and far more importantly that the personnel in the Department of Homeland Security and across this administration perform to stem illegal immigration, build lawful, safe and orderly pathways and invest in a working system.”
But Kennedy, who had already given Mayorkas a major dressing down, pushed back, saying, “You’re using up my time. You do this every single time. It’s a fact and you know it and I know it that the more people you allow into our country illegally, the more people are counted for reapportionment. And the more people you allow into our country illegally, the more people are counted for allocating electoral votes. Now maybe that’s a coincidence, but that’s fact. And you know that. And you’ve done nothing for four years. Nada. Zero. Zilch!”
“In fact, the only people I know in this country who are better off today than they were four years ago are illegal immigrants!” Kennedy declared. “And that’s a result of your policy… that’s why you’ve been impeached!”
“It gives me no joy to say this us, but most Republicans don’t trust you, and a vast majority of the American people don’t trust you. That’s why you’ve been impeached,” Kennedy declared near the beginning of his time, as he calmly ripped into Mayorkas.
