A Trump administration proposal to exclude some types of immigrants from the 2030 census might not expand the congressional map for Republicans, and could even result in fewer House seats in red states.
If congressional seats were redistributed based on recent census figures, excluding undocumented immigrants and other non citizens without green cards could cause Texas to lose a congressional seat it would otherwise have gained, according to a New York Times analysis. Minnesota, a blue-leaning state, could gain a seat.
The states shaded in orange: Texas, Florida and Rhode Island could loss seats under this proposal. The states shaded in green: Minnesota,Ohio and Oregon would gain seats.
Another "brilliant plan" from the mind of Donald Trump. Obviously, he never thinks these decisions all the way through.
