David Sacks: “ Democrats want to stop deportations because illegals are part of their power base.”

February 03, 2026 / 00:47

This episode discusses the impact of illegal immigration on congressional apportionment and electoral votes, focusing on the 2030 forecast.

The conversation highlights how illegal immigrants contribute to the population counts used in the census, which affects the distribution of congressional seats. The speaker argues that Democrats rely on these numbers to maintain their political power.

It is noted that citizens are migrating from blue states to red states, leading to a predicted loss of nine house seats and electoral votes for blue states due to changing demographics.

The episode also mentions how, in the last election, President Trump could have gained nine additional electoral votes with a more accurate count of citizens versus illegal immigrants.

TL;DR

Illegal immigration affects congressional seats and electoral votes, benefiting Democrats and altering state demographics.

The Democrats want to thwart mass
00:00:01
deportations because illegal immigrants
00:00:03
are a vital part of their power base.
00:00:05
And you can see this in the 2030
00:00:07
aortionment forecast which just came
00:00:10
out. Illegal aliens count towards the
00:00:12
census which occurs every decade. And
00:00:14
the census determines the aortionment of
00:00:16
congressional seats and electoral votes.
00:00:18
And what you see in these maps is that
00:00:21
citizens of blue states have been
00:00:23
migrating to red states because those
00:00:25
blue states are failing. As a result of
00:00:27
that, blue states are expected to lose
00:00:30
nine house seats and electoral votes
00:00:32
because of the changing population
00:00:34
numbers. Illegal aliens in blue states
00:00:36
have been propping up those numbers. And
00:00:38
so, for example, in the last election,
00:00:40
President Trump would have won an
00:00:42
additional nine electoral votes if we
00:00:44
had an accurate uh counting.
