what ever number he comes up with through the agencies will be blocked again by the USSC for use in the congressional districts, because the info did not come from the census.

make sure status is on the tax returns.

Hello 9th??

Got another one for you courtesy of OrangeMan

[Sarah Barracuda]

They wont give up that info, they dont want Americans to know the truth, that there are over 30 million illegals in this country

[dwg2]

Watching the Five talk about this. Juan Williams is a real dumba$$.

[Hadean]

Here comes another investigation...

All that would have to be done is to not call them Census Workers, and not have it organized by the Department of Commerce, and send agents of some other federal department to every house in the country to take Roll.

How does anyone get an accurate count of those people who don’t want to be counted?
Also, just because you aren’t a citizen doesn’t mean you are in the country illegally. For example, there are about 13 million Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card holders), about a million international students and a million and a half legal guest workers.

[Ingtar]

Call it a government census.

[Signalman]

I would watch that show, occasionally, if they didn’t have Williams on.

We are a smart country when we want to be.

This was AWESOME news!! And is MUCH better than having the Citizenship Question on the Census.

Why? Because the real issue is about Congressional Apportionment. At the end of the statement AG Barr referenced a court case, that case is Alabma V US Dept of Commerce

Alabama is suing the Dept of Commerce to force it to not include illegal aliens in the counts use for Congressional Apportionment. This is why the Citizenship Question was needed. If Alabama wins then there must be a means to excluding illegal aliens from the counts or the courts would through the case out as moot, because there was no legal remedy even if the plaintiff proved their case.

One of the weaknesses of the Alabama case is that it is uncertain that even with the Citizenship question on the Census would Commerce be able to come up with a number accurate enough for the court. It was questionable if it could, but now they are saying that they can come up with a much more accurate number of Citizens/Residents/Aliens and that can only strengthen the Alabama case!

To Anyone questioning how important this is, the effect of illegal aliens on the 2000 Census was nine congressional seats moving to other states. States gaining seats because of illegals were CA(+6), TX(+1), FL(+1), NY(+1). All states that lost seats (1 a piece) were carried by Trump in 2016. California would have had SIX fewer seats in Congress had illegals not been counted for Apportionment, and you know there are many times more illegals in the US now, so you can image what the impact would be. This is the real reason that Democrats love illegal immigration, and provide sanctuary cities/states!

And if agencies won’t comply, perhaps this can also accomplish reducing the agencies and shrinking our gubmint.

[alloysteel]

It would have been easier to have included the question.

But make no mistake, nobody manages to thwart Donald J. Trump for very long. He moves through the world, a force of nature, and cannot be accurately predicted or even resisted.

Adapt or get out of the path.

[myerson]

It’s time to punch the judicial bully in the nose, Donald.

[glennaro]

The Left will say that President Trump is “interfering with the election”. The Democrat/Left Party needs every illegal alien, every felon, every deceased person they can register to vote to have even a remote chance to win the presidency and an even-money chance to hold the House. They are a mess and Pelosi is so disrepected by the extreme Left-wing of her party -— which is growing in numbers and strength every day -— she is no longer leading anything!

[GotMojo]

perhaps Trump telegraphed his intentions, earlier in the day he ridiculed the census, and its cost of $ 20B

[Eleutheria5]

I knew he would find a way. My hero. Sigh.
