Uh, they are illegally present.
They are not citizens. They are not supposed to be here. They do not get representation. What is so hard about that?
‘Rat politicians trying to steal power by having their states overrepresented in Congress through inflated population counts. It’s ridiculous.
Exclude the undocumented
Newspeak
“Undocumented”? HOW ABOUT ILLEGAL!
The SCOTUS did not cut the census count short by two weeks. They stayed a lower Court ruling that illegally extended the census count by two weeks. The ruling was 7-1, and you will struggle to find the actual vote count in any news story.
Unauthorized immigrants? Yet another wording style to avoid saying illegal aliens?
Yes, we all understand they are not citizens - however, the Constitution says to include all people in the census and says nothing as to whether illegals should or should not be included in the apportionment. Since illegals have always been included in the apportionment, my guess is the SC will not change it. But we will see.
“The Supreme Court has cleared a path for the Trump administration to exclude undocumented immigrants from representation, potentially altering the balance of power in Congress for the next 10 years.”
So, they’re ‘projecting’ to us that it will take 10 years for the Socialist Democrats to find another way to allow people who should NOT be voting, to vote?
Got it! Stay vigilant, FReepers!
It means ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS are to be counted to determine REPRESENTATION in the U.S. Congress.
You completely misunderstand. This has to do with the House apportionment and not voting.
Undocumented aliens are criminals. Call them what they are. Enough if these sanitized / Orwellian euphemisms. Comment:, many of them may be just fine to admit into USA legally but the rest include Islamic terrorists and Mexican drug gangsters etc. dangerous
They DO have documents, not legal documents to be here.
Yes, I understand how the census and apportionment works.
I’m just saying the Socialist Democrats WILL find another way to CHEAT if ‘We The People’ allow it.
You can’t tell me that people who are here illegally and counted on the Census aren’t voting illegally, as well. The ‘Rats don’t pass up a chance; it’s a ‘Two-Fer’ for them.
Do you think that the Founding Fathers ever imagined that people would be sneaking into the USA EN MASSE? Perhaps we need an Amendment to clear this up. And no, I don not believe that the phrase means that those who entered illegally should have representation, They can go back to their own countries if they want representation.
I suppose this means all visitors also count for representation. After all, they are shown on old census records wo citizen indication.
Seems ridiculous that slaves could be counted partially, but anyone who did not actually live here would be counted fully.
Perhaps this is one of the few things the Founders really dropped the ball on.
Do you include foreign tourists who happen to be visiting Disney World during the census? If not, why not? Most illegal aliens are migrant workers, here temporarily to earn money to send home. At least the tourists are legally present.
They are Illegal Invaders, not Undocumented Aliens or Illegal Immigrants.
Immigrants are Invited, Invaders are Repelled.
