Brian Harrison (R) that Democratic states, like Illinois, have gerrymandered their maps by saying that what Texas is doing “is not the result of what happened in Illinois at the last Census.

The argument that Britain needs mass migration to sustain its economy and generous welfare state is fundamentally flawed and is, in reality, creating more economic problems, a government economist has argued.
