Illegal immigrants are counted by the census and total population is used to allocate congressional districts. High rates of illegal immigrants in a district therefore increases the voting power of the citizens living there. This allows illegal immigration to distort election results without anyone casting a ballot.

I can see why Texas is excited to ship folks north.
So are legal immigrants, along with everybody else.
