President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Tuesday that would prevent migrants who are in the United States illegally from being counted when U.S. congressional voting districts are next redrawn, triggering swift rebukes from Democrats and at least one promise of litigation.

What has happened to this country that this is even an issue???
They’re not undocumented. I AM undocumented when I don’t have my license on me if I get pulled over.
If I don’t even have one at home, then I’m not undocumented. I’m driving illegally.
It’s all so very easy.
How long before an obama district judge in a tiny, nondescript location issues a nationwide stay?
GOOD FOR PRES TRUMP.........THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE............BUT THE LEFT LIKES TO MUDDY THINGS UP. Thank God for a common sense President

This is not a permanent ping list. It is only for purposes of pinging for this article because of your interest in the prior article I posted on this subject.

Can you say “Alooooooooohhhhhh-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”?
A Federal judge from the District Court of Bugtussle today ruled...
“If he REALLY wanted to make the Dems head’s explode he could make them only worth three fifths of a person.”
By opening the negotiations with zero fifths, he can make them beg for three fifths later - then hang that on them.
This is headed for the courts for sure. But consider this scenario:
In a Census Year, are the tourists at Disney World counted. If so, how do they do that?
Are they counting illegal immigrats during the emmuneration and how to they distinguish between them and the tourists? Without documents, how can we be sure that they are residents and not just the Griswolds of Austria looking for Wally World.
Is this a response to the DACA ruling from the Supreme Court? Will the next president have to go through the court system to negate this?

Statement from the President Regarding Apportionment
IMMIGRATION
Issued on: July 21, 2020
Last summer in the Rose Garden, I told the American people that I would not back down in my effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population. Today, I am following through on that commitment by directing the Secretary of Commerce to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base following the 2020 census.
There used to be a time when you could proudly declare, “I am a citizen of the United States.” But now, the radical left is trying to erase the existence of this concept and conceal the number of illegal aliens in our country. This is all part of a broader left-wing effort to erode the rights of Americans citizens, and I will not stand for it.
Today’s action to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment base reflects a better understanding of the Constitution and is consistent with the principles of our representative democracy. My Administration will not support giving congressional representation to aliens who enter or remain in the country unlawfully, because doing so would create perverse incentives and undermine our system of government. Just as we do not give political power to people who are here temporarily, we should not give political power to people who should not be here at all.
Under an Executive Order I signed last year, Federal departments and agencies have been collecting the information needed to conduct an accurate census and inform responsible decisions about public policy, voting rights, and representation in Congress. Today’s action further advances this effort and is another example of my Administration’s commitment to faithfully representing the citizens of the United States and putting their interests first.
Great idea.
I’m still laughing.
If you go down that slippery slope, claiming non-citizens should be represented, you have to ask why non-residents, e.g. people living in Russia, India, and China, are not allowed to vote in US elections?
America has global influence, and the lives of people all over the planet are profoundly affected by who gets elected US President. Don’t they get a say? Even our sworn enemies, who want us destroyed and dead, they have a stake, too. With mail-in balloting, their distance shouldn’t matter, either.
Well, that will work in the honest, conservative, areas, but not in the Black Panther controlled areas such as Phillie-dufuss.
They’re foreign nationals illegally in this country. Do we count foreign tourists at Disney World in the census? Of course not.
This one shouldn’t be difficult but I suspect CJ Roberts will ride to the rescue of the Democrat party again.
In a Census Year, are the tourists at Disney World counted. If so, how do they do that?
LOL. I thought of the same analogy. POTUS should order census workers to Disney World if Roberts strikes again. Ha ha.
