Vance calls for GOP to fight 'as aggressively' on redistricting as Democrats in blue states
"California has way more House seats than it should because they have such a high population of illegal aliens," Vance says
Vice President Trump J.D. Vance called on the GOP to fight "as aggressively" on redistricting as Democrats have in blue states.
President Trump recently directed the U.S. government to begin work on a new Census and argued that illegal immigrants should not be counted.
Democratic legislators in Texas left the state last week after a committee approved a congressional map that could give 5 additional seats to the GOP.
"So, California has way more House seats than it should because they have such a high population of illegal aliens. So, they get rewarded for welcoming illegal aliens in their state, giving them federal benefits, actually asking the taxpayers of states like Ohio to subsidize them," Vance said on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News.
"And then those same taxpayers in Ohio and Indiana and elsewhere, they have fewer congressional representatives because of what California has allowed to happen that's ridiculously unfair, and the only real way to fight back against it is for us to redistrict in some ways, as aggressively as these hard blue states have done," he added.
