Maybe they are going to be instructed to count no one in the house if they can determine that it is occupied by illegal aliens.

No. Authoritatively.

With the BLM and antifa riots, it must be tough to gather data in urban areas.

But for the sake of a scenario let's suppose that a census worker knocks on the door and someone answers. The worker asks the person if he/she is a citizen and if there are more people residing at the house who are citizens. The person answers "no" and the census taker says "Thank you," or "Gracias," records no information about the residents of this house and moves on to the next house.

No.

Half the operations are already done, and many people have already responded by Internet, phone or mailer.

Boy is California going to be upset.

I like the idea that when the next Congressional redistricting takes place in certain states, that illegal aliens will not be included in how has voting power in Congress.

There is no such thing as an “undocumented migrant”.

They are ILLEGAL ALIENS, and should always be described as such.

..." how would they know who to exclude?"...

I'm trying to remember if they ask SS# on the form. If they give a fake, it could be detected, and without one it could be thrown away.

.

As he should, as it is used to set VOTER districts - the primary reason a census is taken every 10 years.

Trump is so clever. This will force Democrats to side with illegal aliens when they take it to court.

It will either be a precedent setting win or a close loss. Trump wins in either case.

If the court says yes of course America wins.

If the court says no Democrats will have gone to court to fight American citizens to take from them to give to illegal aliens AND it will scare illegal aliens out of declaring themselves on the census now.

If it loses in SC Trump will say this is why you need me to appoint judges who will follow the constitution. That will help in re-election.

BTW of course there is precedent against this but so what? Trump will have engineered a win/ break even against Pelosi who will be put into a lose/break even situation. It’s a beautiful thing.

They need to be counted and they need to be counted as either: non-citizens here legally or non-citizens here illegally. But that ship has sailed. On the grounds that it’s racist or hateful or something for asking legitimate questions like that.

NJ and NY as well; as these states have chased businesses out many skilled Americans follow - and they’ve kept the lights on by becoming sanctuary states. Without illegals there would be ghost towns in both NJ and NY.

The problem is, there are no rules.
Depending on who is in charge, you count them (Democrats, RINOS) or you don’t count them (Americans).

Currently, they are counted. As a result, California has 5-7 Congressmen they don’t deserve.

They don’t count foreign tourists who are in the United States on April 1st, but they do count illegal aliens. That’s the kind of non-logic that a John Roberts would come up with.

Arguable. Especially since the Census determines the number of House seats & Electoral College votes. Here’s a good article on it from 2019:

This ends the modern 3/5 compromise, where liberals encourage and count illegal immigrants and inflate their representation in Congress.

Excellent news...

States like CA, TX, and NY might stand to lose substantial numbers of Representatives if this is finally addressed...

The “American” portion of the country would gain legislative power through the cleansing of the census and removal of the consequential dilution an illegal-immigrant-enhanced census has created...
