[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5856664, member: 24302"] Because trying to support millions of newcomers in one state far outweighs the benefit of more representation. And for the millionth time the Federal government and NGO's have bused and flown in many, many more illegals than Texas has. Abbott has been focusing on two major cities due to their sanctuary city policies. He's making a point that overwhelming numbers are harming his state and the only way to make others realize that is by their sharing the burden. Now I fully expect you to once again ignore this and claim it's Abbott behind the shipping of illegals all over the country. Here's the downside to New York and other liberal states keeping their representation due to all the illegals being shipped in. Their policies have incentivized many of the wealthy to move to more tax friendly states. The illegals increase the welfare burden on the state without adding to the tax base the fleeing wealthy have taken with them. So liberals are setting themselves up to fail. [/QUOTE]
