(DC Pundit) – Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro is clutching her pearls again. It isn’t a scandal or a budget crisis. It’s the census, and specifically the idea that people living in the country illegally might not make the final tally.
On Friday, Gov. Ned Lamont, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz and DeLauro (CT-3) joined advocacy groups to warn that the administration’s new counting rules would leave roughly 250,000 state residents out of the numbers used to divvy up U.S. House seats and federal funding. DeLauro went further, claiming the move is an effort by the Trump administration to “punish” blue states with large illegal immigrant populations.
Here’s the part Democrats wish was kept quiet. “The 250,000 estimate appears to reflect the state’s non-citizen population that would fall outside the new apportionment base,” the Connecticut Centinal writes. So those missing quarter-million aren’t being erased from existence. They just aren’t citizens. Funny how that works.
The panic tells you everything. Congressional seats and federal dollars ride on these numbers, and every head counted is a little more political muscle for the party that wants it. That’s why Democrats care so much about counting illegals. It’s not about compassion. It’s about math and power.
DeLauro, in particular, came out swinging, calling the new rules “illegal.” Her beef is that they include the dreaded “citizenship question.” Read that again. According to the congresswoman, asking whether someone is a citizen on a census form is illegal, while declining to count people who entered the country illegally is rigging the system.
Democrats open the border, oppose deportations and want the millions of illegals they let in counted for congressional apportionment.
So, they call the effort to count only US citizens in the upcoming census "an effort to rig the system."
"The system" they actually want to… https://t.co/TWv162jE5A pic.twitter.com/8CbGG6WIVi

Let’s recap. Democrats flooded the country with illegal immigrants, and now they’re furious that the government might not hand them representation for it. Rules that mention citizenship are the problem, apparently, not the lawbreaking.
If that logic makes your head spin, don’t worry. It’s not supposed to make sense. It’s supposed to get Connecticut a few more seats in Congress.
