“We should not reward states and cities that violate federal immigration laws and maintain sanctuary policies with increased Congressional representation,” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement after the vote.

We shouldn't reward states and cities that turn black people into slaves to facilitate prison gerrymandering either. The only difference between prisoners and immigrants is that Mike Johnson and his anti-American can't exploit immigrants for cheap labor the way they can with literal slaves.

So, fuck him and his fake ass concerns.

"The most recent time the House of Representatives gained members due to census data was after the 2020 census, which took effect in 2023. The 2020 census results led to five states gaining one seat and Texas gaining two, while seven states lost one seat. The states that gained seats were: Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon."

Notice these are NOT blue states.
