DNC's Perez: "Voter Suppression" To Only Count Number Of U.S. Citizens In Census
RCP Video ^ | 3-27-2018 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 03/28/2018 5:34:04 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

om Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, joins MSNBC's MTP Daily to discuss the citizenship question being added to the 2020 census.

Guest host Katy Tur asked Perez shouldn't it matter who is a citizen of this country, in terms of representation, and who is not.

Perez said trying to figure out who and who is not a citizen is a "scare tactic" and called it "voter suppression" to only county U.S. citizens in the census. He said not counting non-citizens will hurt "funding formulas."

(snip)

They want to change it to count the number of U.S. citizens so that they can engage in very not subtle voter suppression. That is illegal and that is totally inconsistent with what the north star of the census in Republican and Democratic administration has been.

It's been about accuracy. That's why you see folks from the Bush administration and other Republicans who are calling out this complete overreach. I mean Donald Trump before this announcement was made was already fund raising off of this.

This is just another divide-and-conquer effort. This is a first cousin of this voter I.D. law to make sure that African-Americans and Latinos can't vote. This is not who we are as a nation. This is not why people died for the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

it is in fact the rats who are guilty of voter suppression as every time an illegal casts a vote, more times than not in favor of a demoKrat, it suppresses the vote of a legal American citizen..

The REAL “voter suppression” is that OUR votes are actually counted at 80% because the Dems support illegals voting at all every corner. WE are the suppressed people every time an illegal votes. Republicans need to throw that at the GD Dems whenever they make utterly stupid and outlandish statements like this.

It’s worse than that. We need to send census takers to Mexico to count everyone who needs to be represented in congress once they get to the US. /sarc

No trip....

Its an Alinsky tactic.. accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

Explains the completely fake Russia influence to a T, while the left commits active fraud every day.

This tactic worked for years when the piss stream media controlled the narrative... not so much anymore.. hence the drive by the left to shut down the internet

It’s clear the lib cities want illegals to show up as citizens for purposes of House seats and federal benefits. As Trump noted that violates the Voting Rights Act. Trumps proposal does count illegals - it just doesn’t count them as citizens.

CANT A DEMOCRAT EVER GET IT RIGHT? EVER? HOW STUPID ARE THEY?
Democrats whine about "foreign intervention" in our elections but see no problem in foreigners voting.

Now the Dems want foreigners to be counted via the census so they can get back in power.

ANOTHER SOP TO HILLARY HAVISHAM Let's not forget the humongous amt of money "sure-thing" Hillary
took from China and Saudi Arabia. AND the Clinton Foundation's sold-out foreign policy machinery
priced at zillions in donations from foreign entities.

==============================

DEMORATS HIDDEN AGENDA
Dems are desperate. Counting foreigners would give them Congressional seats.....and more power.

WHAT ABOUT US? Americans would be at the mercy of Democrats should this gambit get Dems back in power.

Dems would "owe" foreigners. Payback at the expense Americans would be a taxation monster and a neverending giveaway.

====================================

Factor in:

<><> Obama and his Chicago mobsters took over the census (and the US Treasury) when they landed in DC.

<><>The Kenyan let in diseased misfits from every ****hole on the globe and they are still coming in.....
calculately being resettled in electoral college states.

Democrats are very much concerned about illegal votes. Without them their reprospects for returning to power are considerably weaker.

Non-citizens aren’t necessarily illegals. Many are here legally under various types of visas.

The Dems (and some Republicans), keep saying that there are 11-12 million illegals in the country. They’ve been saying that for decades, as if it is a static number. Everyone knows it’s much more than that. Every time you hear someone site that number, you know they don’t know what they’re talking about.

"... Another BS lie from the left."

It would only be a lie if Perez was concerned with legal voting by citizens - which he OBVIOUSLY is not.

Since he is concerned with "suppression" of the illegal voting by non-citizens that the Democrats have become dependent on, this is the truest confession, on the subject, possible from a Democrat.

Too bad it will not only be covered up by liberal/leftwing politicians and media, but also ignored by the naive or cowardly on the right.

But chances are the more radically he speaks there will be some who wake up to his rantings and realize that they are not like that.

The truth is that when people are honestly questioned the numbers shake out to be about 2/3rds agreeing with us. The remaining 1/3rd are hard core leftists.

There is about 16% of the vote that is made up of the easily swayed who if they really thought about it they would vote contrary to the leftists. For example, Latinos are personally pro-life however they tend to vote democratic, until they begin to pay attention. There have been elections in Texas where when the abortion issue was correctly addressed, meaning the dem was outed for wanting little babies to be aborted, the Republicans were very successful.

Perez is a voice that is working to clarify what people think. Which can be a boon to us.
