The author is taking a strong “death to America” position.
Do you feel the appropriate level of guilt yet white people?
Unless I’m mistaken, at the writing of the Constitution the slaves that were counted may not have been citizens, but they were legal residents of the United States.
From the revolution, to today. Democrats are always desperate to count/exploit their cheap human labor force to gain political power in the Congress.
Sick
Liberals are really stupid and uneducated. The entire 3/5 of a person written into the constitution was a compromise which increased the representation from Demonrat (slave) states out of proportion compared to the number of actual citizens.
By counting illegals, the old Demonrats are up to the same nonsense, just using different terms. Counting illegals distorts the count and dilutes the representation and votes of true citizens.
Illegals should only count 3/5ths. I heard of a compromise like that once.
So much to debunk in this article, but I haven’t the time so I’ll go for low hanging fruit.
1. It became a “thing” not because of Trump, but because the left fought him on it.
2. The question was there for a long time. Trump just wanted to put it back. Duh.
Leftists never cease to amaze. Their chief weapons are:
Ad hominem attack
Deflection
Projection
When our country started, there was no such thing as an illegal alien. People were landing every day. Some became citizens. Some did not. There were indeed open borders...until we wrote some immigration laws.....which I think began after the Civil War.
This writeup is a mashup of lies.
The census has had a citizenship question for 220 years except for 2010 when Obama ordered Rahm Emanuel to take charge of the census and delete the citizenship question so that millions of illegals could be counted for apportionment of representatives to Congress.
The census was split in 1965 into a short form and a long from. The citizenship question stayed on the long form.
Leftist liars will say the citizenship question hasn’t appeared since 1960, that it was taken off in 1965. That’s because it was made part of the long form.
Oh, bull crap. The census is used for determining many things that are funded by our tax dollars. If you have nothing in the game, why should you have any say in how that money is spent?
I give the left credit for never giving up,shaping and rolling their ideas like turds and calling them Bonbons to the mostly idiotic public.
RE: Why we count people, not citizens
Why can’t we count BOTH to get an accurate picture of who are living here?
So... foreign diplomats in the areas surrounding DC increase the representation of those areas? Foreign travelers to Disney World increase the representation for that part of Florida? If we recognized this invasion for what it is... we should increase the representation of areas that have been invaded?
This argument is nonsense. The census determines representation in the halls of government. No party should represent anyone but their own citizens.
“””Seemingly out of nowhere it was announced the 2020 Census would be modified”””
Since 1800 there have been 21 census.
Does anyone know how many of those 21 census asked the residents in the USA about their citizenship?
It is my guess that most of the census did ask the question and it was only recently that the question was no longer asked.
We still have SLAVERY??? WOW!
Not saying it's Mickey Mouse or anything...
>> States with heavy immigrant populations, which also coincidentally happen to be strongholds for the Democratic Party, would likely lose seats in Congress,
Heavy illegal immigrant populations....
The Democrat Thug Party’s critical support base —not the American citizen.
Because criminal degenerates are people, too!
