20 years ago, Detroit had a racket to pad their Census numbers because they wanted to stay above 1 million residents.
But it got so obvious and ridiculous that they had to give up the scheme.
Looks like Illinois is going to try it statewide!
I’m sure there are always undercounts in the ghetto. If people.dont respond to the census, then census workers are supposed to go knock on doors and get info. How many people go how deep into slum tenements to try to count people? That is dangerous work.
I’ve heard these stories surrounding the census for decades. Potential undercounts are nothing new.
Illinois is one of 2 states that has lost population over the last 10 years, numbers are accelerating since home owners are paying 5 to 10 times the amount of property taxes on the same amount of assessed valuation of other states and property values are decreasing. Illinois will lose 2 more Congressional seats after 2020 Census. Just fill out the number of people on your Census form and send it in.
Truth is, people are leaving Illinois.
There are two methods that the illegals play into the Census business. First, about a third of all states have a low density illegal situation....meaning very low numbers and it doesn’t help the state in getting more representation. Second, you’ve got five or six states with extremely high density illegals, and those states (particularly California, Florida, NJ, Georgia, NY, Illinois and Texas) are benefitting (each getting probably one to two additional Reps).
States like Miss and W. Virginia....are getting no real plus-up because of marginal illegals in the states.
That should raise the concern of a few illegal and send Democrats into a frenzy.
You nailed it, this is why the RATS are fighting to keep the citizenship question off the sensus.
Maybe they’ll cheat like they do on voting. Count the dead and count the same people multiple times. And of course the wetbacks can always lie and say they are citizens.
Gotta count the illegal aliens.
Democrats depend on them.
Luis Gutierrez says Chicago is Mexico’s third largest city behind Los Angeles and Mexico City.

Trump should start talking about matching names on census replies with state birth records. Anything to keep illegals from responding. The latest estimate of the number of illegals living in the US is 22 million. The average House district comprises some 710,000 people. So the impact of all those illegals is just shy of 31 House seats.
The census taker gets the number of people in household that’s it. Not how many bathrooms, if we speak other languages, if we have a refrigerator. I hate census takers.
The loss of two congressional seats and billions of dollars in federal funding are only two of the problems facing Illinois if it cannot get all of its residents to respond to the 2020 census.
...
And the most important residents of all to the Dems are their illegal aliens.
They count toward their corrupt rule even if they don’t vote.
A Democrat President would support estimated numbers for percived uncounts.
“The truth is finally starting to come out. If illegals avoid the census, Democrats lose money to buy votes with.”
They also lose congressional seats, and electoral votes. By counting illegals in this way the Democrats have been diminishing the representation of real citizens.
Wonder how California’s census will change?
