Democrats support counting of illegal migrants in US census

Sky News Australia host Caleb Bond says it’s “obvious” why the Republican effort to stop illegal immigrants being counted for House districts and the Electoral College was shot down in the Senate. The measure failed to secure the support of a single Democrat. “Every day it just gets more obvious,” Mr Bond said. “We want two million people every year pouring into the country. “Because if we send them down to a Democrat state it means that we get more apportionment in the House.”
