(Worthy News) – President Trump signed a memorandum that seeks to exclude illegal immigrants from being counted in the next round of congressional redistricting.
Redistricting occurs for state legislature seats and at the federal level for U.S. House districts, known as congressional apportionment. The memo would affect the latter.
Trump’s memorandum, sent out by the White House Press Office on Tuesday, reads, “I have accordingly determined that respect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President’s discretion under the law.” [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
