You are correct.

Obama dispatched Rahm Emanuel to take over the 2010 census resulting in deleting the citizenship question from the long form which 20% of Americans receive randomly.

Deletion of the citizenship question allowed the ‘Apportionment Population’ to grow with the inclusion of massive numbers of illegals.

For those curious about this, note that not every human that breathes the air inside the borders of the USA and its territories is entitled to representation in Congress.

Only the Apportionment Population is entitled to have representatives in Congress.

Census takers count a lot of things but counting citizens is the whole purpose for the Census to begin with.

They found their villain and now they're going to compose their narrative around him.

I've done a good deal of family history research in recent years...some of it done through census forms. The census returns I've seen all had a citizenship question.
