What if your a Dam in a district that is losing population...YOUR voters. Maybe at the next apportionment, your district and anothernwill become a single district.
For apportionment purposes, do you need voters or head-count?
Not voters because we are free to not register to vote.
There are two things to keep separate:
1) Count
2) Enumeration
The Census counts just about every fricken thing it can, people, dogs, cars, Sasquatch, you name it.
The enumeration is for apportionment and is spelled out in the Constitution and the 12th Amendment. It does not include diplmats, aliens or Indians who do not file taxes. They may be counted but they are not enumerated for apportionment of Representatives.
Coaches for illegals do want them to be ‘counted’, they want them ‘enumerated’. They want them treated like citizens, like permanent green card residents. Enumeration leads to the apportionment of Representatives which leads to more power and money,
That’s why we always hear “but undocumented immigrants pay taxes!”. Yeah sure, but they don’t file taxes so there’s no way to prove it. And they won’t file taxes because that reveals them. But they are trying to pose as Native American Indians who pay taxes who are enumerated.
And that’s not all. When the Census taker knocks on the door and asks what is the size of the household, how many children, etc. the illegals are coached to exaggerate the size. If there are 8 shacking up in a 1-bdr apt, they will say there are 16 in the household.
“Si, tengo mucho grande familia! Si, my wives, hehe, siempre embarazada, they always pregnant! Estan Niños everywhere!”
This is why we don’t know if there are 11 million illegals or 30 million illegals.
This has been going on for decades and it needs to stop big time.
