The shrinking base of Democrat voters
Political analyst Dick Morris told Newsmax Saturday that he has witnessed two incredible recent shifts in voter sentiment.
"One is that trend, which is that a lot of new voters are coming into the Republican Party, and a lot of voters are leaving the Democratic Party," Morris told "America Right Now."
Morris attributed the pendulum swing to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's announcement that the administration has deported 1.6 million illegal immigrants from the United States during President Donald Trump's first seven months in office.
"And that means that when seats for Congress are reapportioned, when the census comes in and earlier, if they do it earlier, Democrats will lose representation for those seats.
"So when you combine, when you combine the country moving toward Republicans and away from Democrats and the congressional seats themselves being reallocated not to count illegal immigrants — not because of we're not counting them, but because they're not here anymore — you're talking about major, major changes that are going to have huge impacts on this election and every election to follow," Morris said.
Morris also gave Trump credit for "remaking the political and commercial landscape," including $10 trillion of new investment in the United States and "trade deals all over the place."
"We're talking about major, major changes that will last long after this election cycle goes where basically the tech industry, the high-tech AI [artificial intelligence] industry has become an American deal, not a European one," he said.

Blue states like California, Illinois, and New York are shrinking in population as red states like Florida and Texas are gaining population. This is besides the Democrats losing voters who no longer align with them. This should lead to a Congress that is more conservative. As for deportations, the number has grown becasue of the self deportations.

The number of people in immigration detention has soared by more than 50% since President Trump took office — and that doesn't include thousands more detainees who aren't in the administration's official count, an Axios review finds.
Why it matters: A record 60,000 immigrants are now officially in long-term detention, according to the latest government data, a historic jump from the 39,000 or so who were behind bars at the end of the Biden administration.

And:
A federal appeals court has authorized Trump administration officials to terminate deportation protections for tens of thousands of migrants from Central America and Asia. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the ruling late Wednesday, allowing the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status for about 60,000 individuals from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal while legal challenges proceed.
The three-judge panel unanimously overturned a prior order from a Biden-appointed judge. Trump administration leaders celebrated the decision as a key step in upholding immigration laws and protecting American citizens.
