Maxwell Frost of Florida interrupted him. The committee was discussing legislation including H.R. 151, the Equal Representation Act, which proposes adding a question about citizenship status to the 2030 Census and beyond. Biggs was supporting the bill, arguing it corrected an overcount issue related to illegal immigrants affecting congressional representation, especially in states like California. Frost interrupted, citing the Constitution&#8217;s directive to count all persons irrespective of status, which led to a heated exchange between the two over decorum and respect. The article also highlights that Census results impact congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes. Additionally, it references a 2021 statement from Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke expressing a desire for more migrants in her district to influence redistricting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rep.

Andy Biggs, a Republican from Arizona, became visibly upset on Tuesday during a House Oversight Committee session when Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost of Florida interrupted him. The committee was reviewing several bills, including H.R. 151, the Equal Representation Act, which proposes adding a citizenship status question to the 2030 Census and future censuses. While Biggs was expressing his support for the bill, Frost interjected. Frost argued that the bill aims to fix an imbalance by pointing out that some members of Congress from California might be there due to overcounting caused by including illegal immigrants-estimating as many as seven representatives affected. When Biggs began responding about potential changes in representation for Frost&#8217;s state with nine representatives, Frost interrupted again by stating that the Constitution mandates counting all persons regardless of their status.<\/p>\n<p>Since census results influence congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes used in presidential elections, this exchange was significant. Biggs retorted sharply to Frost&#8217;s interruptions: &#8220;From now on when you speak I will interrupt you-is that fair?&#8221; He accused Frost of being rude for not allowing him to finish and suggested proper decorum would involve requesting time rather than cutting off others mid-sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Biggs continued by emphasizing his own courtesy and respect-qualities he claimed were missing from Frost&#8217;s behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, California holds 52 House seats with Democrats occupying 43 of them.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, during an October 7, 2021 hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York expressed interest in having Haitian migrants counted within her district to assist with redistricting efforts. She noted Brooklyn&#8217;s capacity to absorb many migrants and remarked on colleagues&#8217; complaints about limited space metaphorically as &#8220;no room in the inn,&#8221; stating she welcomed more people for redistricting purposes.<\/p>\n<p>All content is produced by the Daily Caller News Foundation and is freely available for legitimate news publishers who include proper attribution per their guidelines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2518494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2025-12-03T162847.821.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[48057,4912,6203,35743,5894],"class_list":["post-2518493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-congressional-debate","tag-democrat","tag-gop","tag-political-drama","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2025-12-03T162847.821.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2518493"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2518497,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518493\/revisions\/2518497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2518494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2518493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2518493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2518493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
