The Real Reason Politicians Want Illegal Immigrants

The United States is often celebrated as a nation built by immigrants. Its history is marked by waves of people from diverse backgrounds seeking a better life and contributing to the growth and development of the country. The U.S. Census, conducted every ten years, plays a crucial role in understanding the nation's demographic makeup and ensuring fair political representation. However, a puzzling and controversial aspect of this process is that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are counted in the census but are not allowed to vote. This is by no means an argument for the expansion of the right to vote beyond citizens, but rather a rebuttal of the unqualified counting of immigrants and their subsequent unsolicited representation. This dichotomy raises questions about representation, fairness, and the principles upon which the nation was founded.
Why would a politician want illegal immigrants? The reason is much more complex than influencing individual votes. No matter how hard a politician may try, it is very difficult to please any large group. If, however, the politician maintained the ability to represent and at the same time lowered the number of people needed to vote that politician into office, then they would have achieved a win. We have all seen politicians that have districts that have all but been decimated by crime, homelessness, drug abuse, and squalor. Yet these politicians continue to be voted in time after time.
Politicians gain representation through the number of undocumented immigrants without the votes needed to secure their position.
