WASHINGTON.
The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday dismissed a challenge to President Donald Trump’s plan to exclude undocumented migrants from the population count used to assign states the number of banks in the House of Representatives.
The 6-3 decision gives Trump a victory as he seeks to implement his hard-line anti-immigration policies in the final days of his presidency.
It is unclear whether Trump will receive the final figures from the Census Bureau before his term ends on Jan. 20.
Consequently with our determination that no interest has been shown to act and that the case is not mature, we do not express a position on the merits of the constitutional and legal claims filed. We just hold that they are not fit to stand trial, “he said.
In a dissent, the three non-conservative court judges said it was illegal to try to exclude people from the country’s population by allocating banks.
I think this court should say so, ” Judge Stephen Breyer wrote, joined by Judges Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
When considering illegal migrants in the census, which is conducted every ten years, the number of seats for each state is determined.
In addition, the number of seats in the House of Representatives of each entity also determines the votes it holds in the Electoral College, a system used to determine the winner of the presidential election.
With the measure, California, Texas and New Jersey would lose several seats in the House of Representatives
With the recent census, it was determined that more than 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States.
