Senator Bill Hagerty, Republican from Tennessee, introduced a proposal that would bar illegal aliens from this count. However, Senate Democrats unanimously voted to defeat this proposal. Hagerty argued that illegal aliens can be leveraged to shift federal power in favor of the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From NTD News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Democrats&#8217; unanimous opposition to this commonsense measure confirms that they&#8217;re using illegal aliens and sanctuary cities to increase their political power,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With this vote, Senate Democrats chose to trample on the rights of each American&#8217;s voice. I will continue to fight and press this issue in the Senate,&#8221; Sen. Hagerty added.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Hagerty has made this accusation in the past, arguing that Democrats in sanctuary cities are allowing illegal immigrants into their regions in the hopes of gaining more votes and greater representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College.<\/p>\n<p>A sanctuary city is an area where the authorities may limit cooperation with the federal government&#8217;s efforts to enforce immigration law, deportation, or prosecution. At the moment, roughly 200 cities, counties, and states are considered sanctuary cities in the United States, with New Orleans, New York City, and Washington, D.C., among them.<\/p>\n<p>The measure was shot down 45-51 after failing to get even a single Democratic vote. Sen. Hagerty released a statement on March 8 accusing Democrats of holding back the amendment for political reasons, while also promising to keep pressing this issue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NTD News provides additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntd.com\/democrats-vote-unanimously-to-include-illegal-immigrants-in-census_978680.html\">here<\/a>.
