Is it a felony to lie to the census taker and say you are a citizen (when you are not)?

Echoes of the 3/5 Compromise...

What politicians never learn is how many of these people WANT to remain “in the shadows” - on their own terms. They want the freebies, flushing toilets, and public schools for their children; they’d just rather send their earnings to their home countries than have them taxed for Americans’ retirements - or to pay for those “freebies”.

I can understand the sentiment, but I fail to see how such a proposal could pass consitutional muster.

The clause in question does not speak about citizens - it refers to “free persons”, indentured persons, indians and all others (i.e. the non-free, slaves). Non-citizens (legal or not) are not slaves and not indians - so representation must consider them.

"count every person living in the newly-created United States of America and to use that count to determine representation in Congress."

The problem is that the Founding Fathers never,in a million years,dreamed that foreigners would violate our citizenship/residency laws.And even worse they never dreamed that any politician would tolerate such crimes.

And so,today,I give you the Rat Party!

He is a little bit late if he wants to implement significant changes in the 2020 census.

The wheels are already in motion.

I am a citizen, yet I don’t answer my door other than for family, friends, and package deliveries.
They will simply have to assume it is an immaculately-maintained yet abandoned residence with functioning utilities. ;-)

If that is the case, it would seem we only need one question on the census. What is the constitutional basis for all the other questions? None, so why not a citizenship question?

I check a lot of Census records in my ancestor research. 1940 back to 1790.i know I have seen the citizenship question. I don’t remember what years and I am too lazy to go back and look before posting this comment.

I already give them my citizenship. In the area where they ask how much melanin is in my skin, I write in “American”

I took a brief look at the Constitution and it really only discusses counting people, so all they get is the number of warm bodies residing in my house. The rest is usually left blank.

Also, ask who they voted for in the last election.

I have refused every time - left the air on my porch steps blue a couple times as I sent the illegal Gestapo Agents off my property...after telling them the Census is EVERY AUGHT year - ONLY - and they don’t need to know how many times I go to the bathroom. ;)
