Dems want migrants to benefit from redistricting

 Blaze:

While Democrats are raging over mass deportation efforts by the current administration, a video showing the real reason those on the left want more migrants has gone viral years after it was recorded.

In the resurfaced video of Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York, she says that in her district, they need to bring in migrants to increase the population in time for redistricting. The video is from a 2021 House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing where she questioned a government official about the Biden administration's reaction to Haitian migrants escaping the chaos in their home country.

"I'm from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants," said Clarke in the video.

"When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed, no room in the inn, I’m saying, you know, I need more people in my district, just for redistricting purposes, and those members could clearly fit here," she added.

Democrats would lose several House seats if illegals were not counted for purposes of reapportionment.  That is one of the reasons they support open borders.
