Why Sanctuary Cities Encourage Illegal
Immigration
Numerous
cities have declared themselves to be “sanctuary cities,” where local police
are forbidden to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in enforcing
our national immigration laws. Legislation is now moving through the
California legislature to implement such a policy throughout that entire state. Why
this energy to protect violators of our laws? Oddly, the answer goes back
to the founding. Due to a residue of the notorious three-fifth
compromise, sanctuary cities encourage illegal immigration because undocumented
residents (to use the politically correct term) are counted in
determining representation in the House of Representatives and state
legislatures. The more undocumented a city has, the more seats it gets.
When
the Framers were deciding how to apportion the House of Representatives, the
southern states wanted to count slaves and the northern states wanted to only
count free citizen residents. They compromised by counting three-fifths of the
non-free population. To implement this, the House is apportioned on the
basis of the gross total population rather than the citizen population.
As illegal immigration was not a great issue in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment
simply carried forward this practice. As a result, the Census Bureau
explicitly includes both legal non-citizen and undocumented residents in the
census.
In
our era of historically high immigration, this has
a major impact on legislative apportionment because these immigrants are very
unevenly distributed. The Census Bureau estimates that the
proportion of non-citizen population in the states varies from 14% in
California to less than 1% in West Virginia. This has a direct impact on the
states’ political power. California, on its way to becoming the first
sanctuary state, has five or six more members
of the House (and consequently Electoral College votes) counting its
non-citizen population than if House seats and Electoral College votes were
based on only citizen population. No wonder California politicians favor
illegal immigration.
This
disparity can be even more pronounced within states. In my new book Fifty
States, Not Six I show how New York City has ten or more seats in the
150 member Assembly (the lower house of the New York State legislature)
counting non-citizens than it would if apportionment were based on the citizen
population. This is true across the Nation, where immigrants tend to
concentrate in urban areas, which generally are the areas which have declared
themselves sanctuary cities.
For
example, according to the Census Bureau estimates 7.4% of Illinois residents
overall are non-citizens. However, in Cook County (Chicago) non-citizens
are 11% of the population, which is 61.5% of Illinois’ total non-citizen
population. Without Cook County, Illinois’ non-citizen population would
be only 4.8%. This difference corresponds to about five seats in the
Illinois House of Representatives, which would go to other parts of the state
if apportionment was based on the citizen population. On a national
level, this also means that Cook County probably has one more seat in the
federal House of Representatives than it would if only citizens were
counted. That is a seat which would otherwise go to downstate Illinois or
to suburban areas.
If
you ask what difference one seat in Congress could make, consider
Representative Luis Gutierrez’ grotesquely gerrymandered Illinois
4th district. Congressman Gutierrez’ core constituency appears
to be undocumented aliens. If you ever wondered how a member of Congress
could be elected when his prime constituency supposedly cannot vote, now you
understand. If apportionment were based on the citizen population, it is
doubtful that the 4thdistrict would survive, and Congressman
Gutierrez would have to face a constituency of native-born African-American
citizens for whom amnesty for undocumented aliens is not the highest priority.
Of
course, sanctuary city politicians claim that their policies are based on
compassion for the stranger. However, if they really cared about poor
people, one wonders why they promote flooding our Nation with low-skilled
workers who deprive the native-born poor of
all races of wages and opportunities. The more logical explanation is the
desire to increase the size of the low-skilled, welfare-dependent
electorate. Many believe that these non-citizens are being
allowed to vote right now. However, even if this is not true, it is
undeniable that non-citizen residents are increasing the representation of
sanctuary cities in Congress and state legislatures.
So,
what do we do about this? The surest solution is to amend the
Constitution to apportion on the basis of the citizen population rather than
the gross population. I propose such an amendment in Fifty
States, Not Six. (By allocating electoral votes proportionately, the
amendment would also permanently eliminate the Democrat ‘blue wall.’)
However,
our Constitution is the most difficult to amend in
the world. A fallback position relates to the Census. Although the
federal constitution is an impediment for the federal House of Representatives, states arguably could apportion their
legislatures based on citizen rather than gross population. However,
states rely on the federal census to do their apportionment, and the federal
census only counts the gross population. The 2020 census is not so far
away. Congress should pass a law providing that the 2020 census count the
citizen population as well as the gross population. This way states
wishing to apportion based on the citizen population would have the information
to do so. In addition, the results of these parallel counts would
illuminate the selfish motives of sanctuary cities, and build support for a
constitutional solution.
Our
country should be governed equally by all of its citizens. However, by
encouraging illegal immigration, sanctuary cities are showing yet again their
belief in the old leftist principle that some are more equal than others.

So when cities across the country declare that they will NOT be
sanctuary, guess where ALL the illegals, criminals, gang members fleeing ICE
will go???? straight to your welcoming city. So ironically the people fighting
for sanctuary city status, may have an unprecedented crime wave to deal with
along with the additional expense.
