One of the most poorly kept political secrets in modern times is that Democrats just love themselves some unfettered illegal immigration.
Sure, they’ll never outright admit to it — that would be tantamount to political suicide — but actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to illegal immigration, Democrats have practically been screaming at the top of their lungs of late.
The million (billion? trillion?) dollar question, then, is why?
Look, anyone with a room-temperature IQ can tell you that Democrats are trying to “import voters.”
The common criticism is that Dems, alongside all of their unpopular ideas, can’t win over the average American on policy. Instead of changing those unpopular policies, however, Democrats seem far more intent on simply bringing in more agreeable voters.
But it’s not quite so surface-level, as Border Czar Tom Homan so eloquently — and worryingly — pointed out during a Fox News appearance on Tuesday.
WATCH: Tom Homan says Dems and Biden “sold this country out for future political power” by importing millions of illegals to swell blue states.
As blue state populations increased, Dems would get more House seats and electoral votes.

“They think they’re future Democratic voters,” Homan told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “But remember, when Joe Biden opened the border up, he also overturned the Trump census rule.”
Homan continued that this meant that “millions of illegal aliens in sanctuary cities, they’ll be counted in the census.”
“What does that result in?” Homan asked. “More seats in the House for the Dems. They sold this country out for future political power. They saw a future political benefit in doing this, and as we’re removing record numbers of these people, they’re mad.”
“They’re pissed off because we’re ruining their long-term plans for power for decades to come.”
Despite how furious Democrats are getting, Homan vowed that he would continue to push President Donald Trump’s mission of tackling illegal immigration.
Good.
If non-citizens are being counted in the census, that directly impacts congressional apportionment and Electoral College math.
You don’t need a conspiracy board and red string to see the incentive structure there. More bodies in blue strongholds means more seats, more influence, and more insulation from the very voters they’re struggling to win over.
What makes it worse is the sheer dismissiveness toward the downstream consequences.
Strained public services, overwhelmed communities, and a legal immigration system that gets completely undermined — all of it gets brushed aside in favor of lofty rhetoric and selective outrage.
And that’s where Homan’s warning really lands. Immigration policy should serve the national interest, not a party’s electoral prospects. Twisting it into a long-term political strategy erodes trust not just in one party, but in the system itself.
Because at the end of the day, Americans aren’t stupid.
They can see when priorities are out of whack, when enforcement is selectively applied, and when politicians seem more focused on future leverage than present responsibility. Democrats can bristle at the criticism all they want, but until they address the glaring incentives and consequences tied to their approach, that skepticism isn’t going anywhere.
