The American Immigration Council (AIC) has issued a report noting that 23,053,019 foreigners are now eligible to vote in US elections. In addition, another 13,336,047 are eligible for naturalization and may soon be voting as well. In all, that’s 36,389,066 people born elsewhere who are or will soon be eligible to add their weight to U.S. elections. That number is greater than the populations all the U.S. states except California (population 38,915,693).
The AIC report adds the following:
As more immigrants naturalize and become eligible to vote, they continue to gain political power. The number of immigrant voters is only projected to rise in the next decade, and in some states, foreign-born voters are already capable of deciding elections.
These numbers of course refer only to legal immigrants. The number of illegals living in the U.S. and subject to naturalization given an amnesty or two is anybody’s guess. For some reason, despite a constant influx of aliens either admitted as “humanitarian parolees” or as “asylum seekers” or simply those who managed to get by the understaffed and under-utilized Border Patrol as “got-aways,” the number of illegal residents that has been cited year after year is a constant “11 million.” That number has become increasingly suspect, and in 2021, Tucker Carlson quoted an academic study that arrived at a far different total that is twice the official estimate. After running a series of computer simulations, in 2018 researchers at Yale and MIT found the more likely number to range from “16 million to 29 million, with 22.1 million as the mean.”
Assuming the mean number and a (highly unlikely) halt to all new immigration, that adds up to a potential +58 million foreign-born voters eventually participating in all local, state, and national elections. And note that that figure does not include the immigrants’ offspring born here and who are thus automatically made citizens due to birthright citizenship.
Given that naturalized voters traditionally favor Democratic candidates by more than two to one, adding that many voters would constitute a virtual hand-over of political power to the world’s excess. In other words, ¡Adios, America!
