Florida could get as many as three additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives with Arizona and Texas each gaining two seats if the 2010 U.S. Census counts the nation’s undocumented population.

This is according to a study released today by the Connecticut State Data Center at the University of Connecticut. New York and Ohio would each lose two seats and Illinois, Michigan and Missouri would lose one seat each. Connecticut’s seats would stay the same.

The changes could be problematic, the study’s author said, considering undocumented residents don’t vote.

“The number of voters hasn’t changed,â€

All I can say is I hope some Alipac members run for these seats!

When one state gains a seat due to illegals, then citizens of another state lose a seat. That means just counting the illegals in the census disenfranchises a number of CITIZENS.
