The census has long been perverted from its original mission of enumeration. With the scores of non-germane questions already asked, I don’t know the basis of the objection to asking about citizenship. Unless they are afraid the revelation that 11 million is ridiculously fake.
What will happen here...unless the Supremes tell Trump he can’t do this...is that a under-count will occur in blue-states (highly dependent on population counts to get more House members).
I don’t think any foundation has ever done a research project like this....to say that the citizen count in California is only 90-percent of ‘all’ citizen count would be. If this were true in states like NY, California, Texas, and Florida...then they’d all lose a minimum of two House members each.
But the other thing is that the procedure used to build the gerrymandering maps for placement of House members, would also come into play very quickly. Judges would then be forced to accept the citizen question and I would take a guess that 50-percent of all districts would end up being redrawn because of accusations.

I believe it, like the DACA DB, may show how the data can be used to round-up said criminals. Showing how it can be done vs. their anti-2nd A agenda just calls attention they don’t want.
