President Trump is right to demand a new census that excludes illegal immigrants from the population count. For years, the left has pushed to inflate numbers with millions of noncitizens who have no legal right to even be here. This inflates political representation and hands the Democrats an unfair advantage in Congress and state legislatures. It’s time we stop rewarding lawbreaking with extra political power.
The latest estimates put the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. at over 18 million. That’s not a small “mistake” or a tiny fraction of the population — it’s a massive invasion costing Americans dearly in jobs, resources, and political clout. Yet the bureaucrats and left-wing activists want to stick illegal migrants into the official census count, distorting the very foundation of our representative democracy. Trump’s order to the Commerce Department to use “modern facts and figures” and exclude illegal aliens is a necessary course correction.

Expect the usual liberal hysteria and lawsuits to follow. In Trump’s first term, the attempt to exclude illegal immigrants was met with picket signs and courtroom battles, even though their inclusion is a blatant violation of the Constitution’s intent. Democrats openly admit their true goal: Import more noncitizens so they can gerrymander states to gain power. They don’t care about the rule of law or the voters — only about securing permanent, guaranteed majorities by any means necessary. This move by Trump strikes right at the heart of this cheating.
The Census counts are not just numbers on a page. They dictate how many representatives each state sends to Congress. They influence federal funding. When illegals are counted, taxpayers foot the bill for illegal migration while losing political ground. It’s the opposite of fair. Every American citizen deserves to have their voice heard and their interests protected — not drowned out by people who broke our laws to get here.
President Trump is showing real courage by tackling this issue head-on, something the swamp and the globalist crowd refuse to do. They’d rather import millions of illegal migrants for cheap labor and left-wing votes than defend America’s borders or defend the principles that made this country great. If we can’t even count our own population honestly, how can we expect to govern ourselves? The question is simple: When will the American people finally say enough and demand a government that puts citizens first?
