This is not up for debate. If you are not a legal citizen, then you do not vote.
And you are not counted on the census.
Its not about voting it is about forcing the house of representatives to accommodate a lot more "Democrat" representatives because they want the illegals counted. That is like saying hey, I have 5 people in my house... and your neighbor says doesn't matter I let 30 come into my yard... so we get to decide what we do with your money. Now pay up so we can keep spending your money.
Not with the 'Regime' in charge...even with the Fraudulent 2020 Election becomes clear. 'They' Cheated, because that 's the only way 'They' win.
They don't really care about the vote. They would love for that to happen but what they will settle for is the extra delegates they will get just from them being here.
@@jamesreed6634that’s not what the constitution says. Funny how you guys are so willing to ignore that when you don’t like what in it 😂
They refuse to acknowledge the difference between immigrants and people here illegally.
I WONDER WHY ?
Always been the plan
That's because it enables them to cheat!!!!!!
Only way Demonrats can win!! Let's Cheat Again. FBS!!!
No,my friend, Constitutionaly, immigrants having legally come through the process are citizens, and rightfully so. Those who have violated our sovereign borders are here illegally .
They keep failing to say illegal immigrants, they keep saying immigrants ,not illegal immigrants. Words are very important and powerful. My grandfather and my father were immigrants. But they were legal immigrants. And they had to go through the proper legal process. This is not fair to them!😡😡 How about you give all that money that my family payed back with interest!? 🤔😡😡😡 . This is not fair no matter how you put !!😡😡😡😡 ☠️☠️☠️
All of people was illegal immigrants before they was legal my dad was from Oklahoma. And mom was from Misery
The constitution is for American Citizens. Not for people here illegally.
We need LESS POLITICIANS NOT MORE!
We don't get more total representatives with reapportionment. The total number of Senators and Representatives is capped at 535 by Federal Law. Reapportionment is just that. If there is a growth of illegal immigrants living in certain areas (such as large metropolitan areas), relative to other areas of the country (such as rural areas), then those areas will receive relatively more Representatives while the other areas will have fewer Representatives. That is the Democrats' plan!
Once again, Raskin claims this particular bill is all about NOT counting non-citizens. Do not be fooled -- as many of the speakers in the video are. It is NOT. This is about getting a handle on how many immigrants have actually illegally entered our country. It is also about basing reapportionment of Representatives only on those who are citizens.
@@davidbrick626well said. A lot of these people posting comments missed that class in 9th grade civics.
@@davidbrick626well stated. A lot of people posting on here were absent on the day this was explained in 9th grade civics and it's not on the GED. I respectfully thank you.
Hey Ho ho the IRS needs to go !
We had No invasion in 1790 !!!
NO ID .. NO VOTE !
This has nothing to do with voting
Since states have started issuing non citizen drivers licenses, it is not about ID anymore.
@@LJones-tx6eg💯💯🎯👈
To those that are saying, "This has nothing to do with voting".
That's NEXT!
It's really pathetic those people don't "get it". comprehend it😮
@@TheMomseloc They get it...Democrats only care about winning, they don't care about the constitution or voter rights.
We in South Africa have census done but ONLY CITIZENS CAN VOTE.
If you are not a US CItizen, you do not get to vote, or work in our Goverment...
No one has a problem with migrants here LEGALLY.
Speak for yourself. We are being replaced.
Too many, needs to stop!
Are migrants American Citizens if not they cannot Vote!! Need to have a card that says we areUS citizens and are eligible to vote in federal elections!! Every one should have this card!
O HECK YA WE DO
Yes now it's going to take Romany years to save us there here
My dad was a Vietnam Veteran and the Democrats are just kicking him in the face for serving his country and helping to keep us safe.
My father and 4 uncles that fought in WW2 to keep this crap out of our country 😢
The law says citizens only not illegals.
Why is the united nations has to be involved in our census ? It's NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS !!😒
American people did not want that border deal 5000 a day.That's stupid
That border deal was full of crap!
@@texastreat8721The old " border" was the east coast. Chances are someone you know had family who came to this country by buying a ticket on Atlantic Steamers. Most of them didn't have sponsors or papers. They paid the ship fare, boarded the ship and showed up in Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore, Savannah.
Exactly the Democrats NEVER mention HR2
The additional border patrol agents don't mean fuckle when 5000 illegals a day instantly becomes 5000 legals a day.
That is the lamest excuse I have heard in a long time! @@yvonneplant9434
I'm thinking we've reached the point of "tyrannical government".
This is false
You should start poppin' off then big talk.
They want an uprising, so they can jail anyone who doesn't agree.
@@Matthew-rr4deWe all should, but we're a bunch of pussies.
@@ChiTownBossFJB Wow, honesty on TH-cam...who knew?
The key word is legal not illegal immigration
Only citizens should count.
VOTER ID SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO VOTE
except they are giving drivers licenses to illegals with no designation of citizenship and the drivers license is all that is needed to register to vote
❤❤❤❤
You have to show your id to vote now so idk what you mean
@@DX2069 and the ID does not state whether you are a citizen or not
Louisiana does require your license and voter ID card. Been that was for many years!!
it would have been cheaper and safer just to secure the border.
The whole point for Dems is letting the immigrants in and using them to gain more delegates. The black population is onto them. They need to "pretend save" another peoples.
Going to cost a fortune to send them back but oh well waste more money than that
Exactly 66 Billion, billion not million spent last year alone went to take care of ILLEGAL immigrants that broke our law to get here and we taxpayers pay for this BS! While the people that fought for our country get craped on. And yet we still have real Americans that want to vote for Biden. Sheer crazy!
@@jameshenson4089 It wouldn't be a waste to boot them to Mexico or Canada both those nations are complicit in the problem and they can foot the bill to send them back the next step.
tRump refused to allow the house leadership to bring the REPUBLICAN senate border bill up for a vote on the floor.
No Citizenship…No Votes…That’s it
This is forking returded. Citizens get representation. Noncitizens do not. Asking the question of citizenship should not be a problem. If you're afraid of the question of citizenship on the census, you are probably not where you are supposed to be and should leave.
Uphold our rights and protect America and protect our citizens and our borders
❤❤❤❤
Raskin keeps throwing out the Republicans are blocking the bill from securing the border... He is such a big liar because HR2 has been in this Democrat Senate hands for over a year and it was securing the border. Really secure in the border versus what that 5,000 a day thing with this bill.
Conservatives better start having lots of babies to take back the Congress.
Excuse me but aren't Consititutional privileges only available to American citizens?
Why dont they let the American people vote if they want this bill to pass or not! Not these politicians that benefit from non citizens saving politicians seats!
All Sanctuary cities must be dissolved
Because that's not how our government works and that's not ,what the Constitution says!
Absolutely true !❤
Good idea
That’s why we need to make sure we had our representatives up and others as well
The founders didn't know we would be over run by criminals from other countries prisons
Now you people know why they left the border open
I need my ID to vote! So should anyone else
This has nothing to do with voting
To those that are saying, "This has nothing to do with voting".
That's NEXT!
It's really pathetic how those people don't "get it".
N the politicians are not doing anything now n getting all
N Donald you are bringing in people that where democrats that are turning Republicans because they can do that anyone that does that they are not surpose to be there they could speak what anyone needs to hear
Don't do this we need all new that is going to be he after u when u clean the swamp not somebody was there especially n x dem
Proof of being a US citizen = your ability to vote. Common sense, it’s a privilege not a right for just anyone.
This has nothing to do with voting. lol

@@MikeW165 How embarrassing that you don't see their end game.
@@TheMomseloc There is no game
Born and rasied in America got in trouble when i was 17 and not allowed to vote but someone illegally here can vote ? Wtf?
Unless you was tried as an adult you can vote. Nothing under the age of 18 effects you as an adult
@@raybusby740 I was tried as an adult . No matter what if you commit a crime I agree you should have to pay for it but I don't think you should have to pay for the rest of your life . Never the less my point is these people are breaking into our country and they are pushing for them to vote and that is just wrong in so many ways
NO, only Citizens Born in the United
States of America! Period!
We the People should have the vote on situations like this but we don't it's pathetic
Ratskin needs to go
We do have the right to vote indirectly on these issues. By either retaining or voting out these Congress/Representatives that don't vote the way the people want. I know that doesn't help immediately. IMHO, Illegal aliens need to be counted, but not included in how they determine the number of Politicians. Citizens only.
I so agree with you. It's scary that it could become a reality due to Jamie (the snake) Raskins.
Their not citizens STOP THIS NOW!
* They're
They can probably spell at a 6th grade level. You should find one and ask them to teach you.
This is crazy!!!!!!!!!! Illegal means Illegal and has no rights for anything!
Those individuals, IN THE HOUSE, that have their heads in the sand, will have a huge RUDE AWAKENING when,, WE THE PEOPLE, come for their seats.!!!😡
In every sane country you have to: 1. be a citizen 2. be registered and 3 bring a gawd dang valid ID when you show up IN PERSON to vote.
This has nothing to do with elections. It's only about the census.
❤❤❤❤
This has literally nothing to do with voting
Almost every developed country uses mail in voting lol
I don’t do mail in ballots. Don’t trust them
There are differences between legal and illegal migrants, beeetch
Probably not in California.
Proof of citizenship must be required.
J6 was not insurrection. Correct that verbiage . No one was charged with that.
How can they call that an insurrection while calling the destruction, kidnappings, & actual acts of terrorism on these college campuses “peaceful protesting”?
Not to mention, it’s been proven in court with facial recognition technology, that most the destruction done on J6 was committed by these leftist professional protestors posing as right wing activists.
They’re easy to spot. Still all dressed in black with black masks. They just put on red MAGA hats, with the exception of the guy who always wears his Viking horns while he’s either storming the Capitol or burning black businesses to the ground in black neighborhoods to prove how much their lives matter. 🙄
The United States of America was once considered and respected as the greatest country on the planet. We are now considered the classroom dunce.
Banana Republic
Says who?
Hey Radkin, I had to wait 5 years, gone to evening school then take test to get American citizens.
Congratulations! Welcome to the greatest nation on earth.
Congratulations!! Welcome to the mess. My Great Grandfather came from Italy. Legally. He had to go to work.
So, migrants don’t work?
Congratulations! And, now you feel like a real citizen! Welcome to our country your part of it!
Congrats! I need help to immigrate legally like you did.
Obama wasn’t born in the United States or Hawaii. He was born in Africa.😅
Since these Democrats are such Constitutional scholars, they have no problems understanding “Shall not be infringed” right?
If Citizenship doesn't matter, then Taxes don't matter. #DefundPoliticians
Noncitizens pay taxes too! Even illegals with an illegal SS card pay taxes!
Must ask citizenship every census. Not a citizen, you can't vote! Period!
This is about being counted for seats in the House of Representatives. It's supposed to be proportional to population. So Democrats are mass populating blue states to enact single-party rule.
Illegals or anyone undocumented should not be counted. Idk how you can be counted and undocumented, anyway
There has to be a better option than the honor system. Why would any illegal say 'Not a citizen'?
@@ivdg46ethere is. It's called BORDER CONTROL and DEPORTATION
The Republicans should get on the stick to get 3/4ths of the states to ratify the change to the Constitution....that only Citizens can be counted on/in the Census and only Citizens can Vote in any Federal Election or office for a Federal position !
Ask him if he knows what illegal and legal means explain why illegal should have any legal rights in our country.
If your not a citizen you shouldn't be counted!
You don't understand what they are talking about. It's about census...we count children for census and they don't vote. This has nothing to do with voting. It's about how many people, kids, legals, illegals that live in a specific area. If we don't know how many people, kids, etc live in an area then we won't know what is needed in your city. It has nothing to do with voting. Illegals cannot vote, kids cannot vote. Geez folks it's not that hard to understand unless your in a brainwashed cult and believe whatever you hear. We learned this in grade school and high school. I can't believe how many people can't think for themselves anymore.
This has to do with the "CENSUS"... legal, illegal, green, blue, whatever... Should ABSOLUTELY be counted... I don't understand why Washington DNC elites are against counting EVERY one, aren't they interested in the LEAST, how many undocumented there are because wouldn't that give a more accurate rate for money for each group?? They're all just talking out their ASS, pulling the wool over the eyes of their own liberal base
Green card holders on path to citizenship should. But it's not about them voting it's about the size of the districts so they have a certain amount of elected officials based on population. So they can get in more democrats to have more representation in the Congress. Not that they are saying the illegal is voting. But they are putting them in to blue areas to for the voting citizens to get more Democrats into the house so they can have majority very easily.
To those that are saying, "This has nothing to do with voting".
That's NEXT!
It's really pathetic how those people don't "get it".
The Amnesty and Mass citizenship is coming next .
I can remember the pride that went along with being a citizen of this country we considered ourselves so blessed to live in the greatest country in the world.
I'm an emigrant but i don't feel been attacked, because thats the way it should be,you are not citizen you can't vote
What ever Jami Raskins is arguing for, I am against. 😊
So you’re against the US Constitution?
Do Not Relect RATSKIN IN ANY CAPACITY!! HE WANTS TO BE IN THE HOUSE, AND chairman no less.
THE CONSTITUTION REFERENCED HERE, "MEMBERS OF EACH STATE" REFERS TO AMERICAN CITIZENS, NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS.
WHAT A TWISTED MIND HE HAS 🤨.
It's a damn shame when any party of any branch of government is willing to stand for criminal trespassers before their own country!
Despicable behavior
Leopard RASKIN never changes his SPOTS Very slippery
Why do Dems argue with this...vote them out, no common sense
Hard to believe this is even a question. Hard to believe anyone can keep a straight-face when asking something so silly. Should we count visitors, vacationers?
Maybe we should count ghosts, unborn babies, and the population of other dimensions.
One thing that outrageous me when I watch these congressional hearings is all the stats without documentation. We follow our Constitution,end the discussion. I’d like to see some documentation as to the 11.2 million people that have entered our country illegally.
So you can't ask if you're a citizen on the census but I'm forced to stop 100 miles from the border and answer if I'm a citizen??
There it was! “The Insurrectionists on January Sixth”!!! Can someone please tell the Democrats what an actual Insurrection is??? As Ron White says; “You can’t fix stupid!”
And yet, what their precious protestors have done to black neighborhoods over the last 6 years and to college campuses over the last week & a half is considered “peaceful”, when the damage done is so much worse (along with kidnappings & loss of life) than what happened at the Capitol. Not to mention how many courts have proved with facial recognition technology, that many of these liberal protestors were at the Capitol, posing as right wing activists, creating the exact same destruction they create everywhere they go.
Can’t even believe they are having this debate. True citizens are being crapped on.
Should not includ non citizens, for determing , senators, representibes
The entire Democratic party could fill in on 'The View' and no one would notice the difference. So one sided.
😆 🤣 😂 love it !
In honor of mother's Day let's give Mom the right to abort her child? How sick
This country is going down quickly. Really sad! Stay strong!
It doesn't get much sicker. If they don't want a child then use protection or don't have sex.
This is a Land built under GOD. AND HE LEFT IT OUT.
PLEASE, GOD JUDGE HIM ACCORDINGLY 🙏
In 1920 my Grandmother was listed as Alien, later she became a citizen it included her language and highest grade of education, and is she could read and write, what job she had, what scares me is thinking they committed crimes in their own country and running away from being put in prison in their own country! Those countries aren’t even trying to extradite known criminals, they are happy they are out of their country
EVERYONE'S thoughts went immediately to "insane asylum". C'mon, admit it.
Raskin will never shut up
He is terrible!
Whenwill will be dealt with for all of his lies?😮
Raskin is not even human!! These people don't make any amount of sense!!!
Ratskin, spell it right
$$$
I agree that all persons, citizens and non- citizens should be counted if they came in legally BEFORE Biden opened up our border.
In regards to voting, only U.S. Citizens should be voting. HOLD THE LINE...
Rusty Mae signing off😊😊😊😊😊
Citizens should only be able to vote. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The census can include everyone, but non citizens shouldn't be used for extra seats and electoral votes.. count them so we know how many are here,but exclude them in house seats
No, the census CAN'T include everyone. Only citizens and those immigrants that are here LEGALLY! It's not just about representation. It's about welfare, medicare and medicaid, school funding, and a hoard of other things that are determined by census counts.
Lets fund an independent investigation on how much money is paid in taxes by non citizens and specify the total dollar value of all benefits like schooling costs, medical benefits, food stamps, etc.. In some states they receive priority for federal jobs over citizens.
As someone who has worked in the construction industry for over 15 years. ( Home remodels 2yrs plumbing 4yrs, asphalt and concrete 9-10 yrs) we fill out a W9 FORM that doesn't take taxes out by your company but it's up to you as an independent contractor to do your taxes and pay every year. Needless to say not all but most companies I've worked with had illegals working with us. Now I grew up in a predominately Hispanic small town outside the south west of Houston Texas and I do speak Spanglish fluently. I got no issues with anyone but most of all I have lived around grew up dated and even married Hispanic ppl lleh growing up and still to this day im known as white boy in certain places and take ABSOLUTELY no issue because I know the ppl who call me this are only the ppl close to me. This city folk claim illegals pay into taxes just like everyone else when that's 99% false. And unless your in the Hispanic community you'd know that the LEGAL imagrant who waited years n years or are 1st gen citizens ABSOLUTELY HATE these ILLEGAL immigrants coming over taking their jobs and unfortunately maketing the actual legal Hispanic look bad and get jumped together with the law breakers. In Houston TX the legal vs illegal Hispanic violence is out of control. But y'all don't know that cause y'all to scared to leave your dance 2 story brick houses in the gated suburbs to talk to the real ppl this effects but still pretend you know what's going on. IT'S DISCUSSING
You better get Raskin out of there
Congress cannot go wrong if they just vote opposite of anything.Raskin supports
As a legal citizen I can't get free food, free clothing, free rent, free money or better yet FREE HEALTHCARE! WHY? Because as a citizen I am treated less than the ILLEGALS because I was born here and I work here. This bill is NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL:. THE SUPREME COURT SAID IT WAS LEGAL!!
Wake up America
I'm praying we get a tremendous amount of Republicans to our house and senate, so if this bill doesn't pass now, we can pass it under a President Trump administration.
I think Republicans have a good chance of flipping the Senate but I think Democrats will flip the house. The presidency is a toss-up. This bill has no shot of becoming a law.
There will be no further Trump administrations. Enough people cannot and will not vote for him.
End Dual Citizenship in government
Why?😂😂
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513no split loyalties.
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513 BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY LOYAL TO THE USA.
Is that a thing?
They must be citizens of United States
Census bureau needs to absolutely count every resident and indicate citizenship. The total count should be used for resource allocations for infrastructure and schools.
But the noncitizens should not be used in assigning congressional representation nor should non citizens vote.

If you say citizens enough, you may realize that only citizens are LEGAL Americans not paper cut outs
Seems like this country went to war about no taxation without representation!
How about new comers? They don even have job, American are supporting them.
I think the many lawyers who will be overseeing the elections have some tricks up their sleeves. If I were one of them, and the person in front of me presented an ID that was issued two months ago or very recently, I don't think it would be wrong to ask for additional ID like a utility bill to show the person was simply not living in a *_common address_* such as a 5-star hotel. There are ways you can prove someone is an actual citizen and someone who simply was issued an ID.
When are forefathers were riding the rules about counting persons in the census they had no clue that a democrat president would allow 15 million illegal immigrants to come in for them to use as voters

“Our” country belongs to people from everywhere around the world.
America seems to be the only country to ever celebrate a quashed insurrection with confederate flags, statues, monuments and heroic embellishments of events instead of the facts.
Non citizens means non American citizen to be represented
Represented for what ?? either you are a registered US citizen Identifiable With 2 acceptable ID`s With a address as proof.ie current utility bill. if not No Vote
As an immigrant let me clarify. “Undocumented immigrant” is a migrant or an illegal. Immigrants are people that come to a country legally.
To get american citiszen ship it should be u worked for 3 years and paid taxes before u can become a citizen and be able to vote
Another argument about people that are not even supposed to be here.
