WASHINGTON.
The US Supreme Court yesterday rejected a challenge to President Donald Trump’s plan to exclude undocumented migrants from the population used to allocate states the number of seats in the House of Representatives.
The 6-3 ruling gives Trump a victory as he tries to enforce his harsh anti-immigration policy in the closing days of his presidency.
It is not clear whether Trump will receive the final figures from the Census Bureau before his term ends January 20.
Consistent with our determination that no interest has been expressed to act and that the matter is not yet mature, we do not provide a position on the merits of the constitutional and legal claims submitted. We just claim that they are not suitable for judgment, ”he condemned.
In a dissenting opinion, the three non-conservative judges said it is illegal to exclude people from the country’s population when allocating seats.
I think this court should say that, ” wrote Judge Stephen Breyer, accompanied by Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
Including illegal migrants in the census, which takes place every ten years, determines the number of seats for each state.
In addition, the number of seats in each entity’s lower house also determines the votes it has 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
The recent census found that there are more than 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
