Legally who knows how this comes out. But it seems to me, there’s no harm in asking about citizenship. This question has been asked on census forms in the past.
I wonder why the liberals fear the citizenship question? Don’t they want to know how many non citizens are here?
There are many legal residents who are not citizens.
I agree that the question should be on the form.
It’d be a hoot if in some districts it turned out there were more votes than citizens.
If a state or district counts a million more bodies than actual citizens, the money flows based on bodies. Follow the money. Plus it might dispel their assertions that there are only a small amount of illegals in the country. Like hell. I’d put it 25 mil...which is 1/14th or 1/15th of the countries population.
The fear that New York and California will lose a significant number of congresscritters if the census shows the population of citizens is lower than the actual number of representatives they have presently.
People like ‘Nadless could lose their fat seats to the Sandy Cortez of the party. Further that the proportion of representation of NYC is significantly less such that upstate and western NY might actually have a say in how the state is run.
