Speaking of citizenship, what’s the latest from Judge Carter’s court regarding the issue before it. We all know what THE ISSUE is.
Yeah; we want to be COUNTED so we can be sure to get l’os freebies, and we want to CONTINUE to vote Democrat. However, we DON’T want to be arrested and deported as the Law provides, or have our locations being known.

“Since the census is for the purpose of aportioning the House of Representatives illegals shouldn’t be counted since they aren’t represented or voters!”

It’s important to know how many ILLEGALS we have so we can figure out what they cost every single one of us!
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
Oh, sorry.
Thought it was about the _resident’s citizenship.
“The Framers directed us to count all “persons.””
Illegals aren’t persons!
Furthermore, you should review SCOTUS decisions that recognize that all people in the US, including illegal aliens, have constitutional protections.
I don’t give a damn what those communist bastards have to say!
