Adam Schiff says quiet part out loud about Dems needing illegals to win

Adam Schiff let slip what Americans paying attention already know, which is that the Democratic Party’s fevered defense of criminal illegal immigrants is, in reality, a desperate fight to hold onto the number of seats they have in Congress.

The Democratic senator from California was responding to an announcement from President Donald J. Trump about not counting illegal immigrants in the U.S. census.

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” the president posted on Truth Social. “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

“This is plainly unconstitutional — and the president knows it. But more than that, it’s another blatant attempt by Trump to rig the next election, and gerrymander more Republican seats. We’ll fight this,” the senator known as “Pencil Neck” posted on X.

The next census is in 2030, however, the Trump administration is tasked with beginning the process, including determining what questions would be asked, according to NBC News.

“According to the Census Bureau, federal statutes require the agency to notify Congress of general census subjects three years before the decennial count, and of the actual questions to be asked two years before the count,” the network reported.

All of which means massive legal challenges on the left if Trump pursues a new census during his administration, and the Supreme Court has previously blocked attempts to alter census practices, such as adding a citizenship question in 2019 or excluding noncitizens in 2020.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

You are a lying, pandering POS… I cant wait to post your perp walk.

Hi Adam,

No it’s not, the Founding Fathers could never have imagined the insane amount of taxation, regulation, and handouts the federal government gives.

They threw tea in harbor for an 8% tax.

The least we can do is give representation to only citizens.

Thanks.

Adam Schiff, the same guy who spent YEARS lying about “Russian collusion,” leaking classified info, and pushing hoaxes to divide this country, now cries because Trump wants the Census to count AMERICANS, not illegal aliens. Schiff has done more to destroy America from the inside…

How is it unconstitutional to exclude illegal aliens from the census for congressional representation? Are you drunk?

So we’re pretending it’s perfectly constitutional to flood the border, let millions of illegal immigrants in, and then strategically settle them in blue sanctuary cities to inflate House representation? Got it.

Kinda saying the quiet part out loud.
