Which actually hurt red states. See, the number of representatives is based on total population, both citizen and non-citizen. So when it came time to reapportion congress, the undercounted data was used, because it was the official data.
And census takers counted as many people as possible in those blue states.
Red states said fuck it, don’t count any non-citizens.
And red states suffered from their racist policy in the re-apportionment.
It’s a classic story that’s repeated over and over again. Racists put in place a racist policy to appease their racist supporters, and that racist policy hurts them.
Look at Florida, where republican racists put in place a policy to punish anyone who works with undocumented migrant workers, and now, no one is picking Florida produce because the migrants went elsewhere.
Whereas, blue states are open and accepting (for the most part) and offer help obtaining paperwork and even help navigating the citizenship process.
