Donald Trump and his allies have the U.S. census in their sights as they continue to pursue their anti-democratic visions for the country.
Touring a controversial new immigrant detention center in Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump excitedly backed a proposal from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would drastically alter the U.S. electoral map if implemented. Greene said Monday that her proposal, which she said she will introduce in the House, would require the Census Bureau to “immediately” conduct a new census — even though the census takes place every 10 years, with the next one set for 2030.
“In conducting the new census of the U.S. population, it shall require questions determining the citizenship of each individual, and count US citizens only," Greene wrote in a post on X. "Upon completion of the census, the bill will direct states to immediately begin a redistricting of all U.S. House seats process using only the population of United States citizens."
Essentially, it would be an accelerated and further-reaching proposal than the bill House Republicans passed last year, which the Senate — controlled by Democrats at the time — didn't take up.
Speaking on behalf of himself and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was standing beside him, Trump said Tuesday that they “love” the idea. He went on to frame the proposal as a response to his false claim that Democrats rigged the 2020 election by allowing “millions” of unauthorized voters to cast ballots.
DeSantis then accused the Biden administration of rigging apportionment to harm Republicans — an odd claim considering the ways the process seems to have benefited Republicans.

I thought I’d be clicking on a Babylon Bee satire.
An honest count is ‘rigged’ according to MSNBC.
Rig?
Project much?
Holy cow, that’s a real headline.
“rig”? You mean.... actually counting those who are here LEGALLY?
I don’t even have a problem COUNTING immigrants for statistical purposes, but ONLY US Citizens are entitled to representation in our Constitutional Republic.
The whole “counting every body and assigning Congressional seats based on total population, not only of citizens, but every immigrant, including illegal aliens” is tied to the sanctuary city/state model. Pumping the numbers to grab power.
I am sure I am not the only who thought form the headline this had to be the Babylon Bee.
“Rig” the US Census by counting US citizens??? Do they ever read their headlines?
Ja’han must have a screw loose. Non-citizens are not citizens. They don’t mean anything to the American population. Just maggots freeloading off the American taxpayers.
They cannot vote so should not be counted when the DemonRATS are gerrymandering the districts.
Hilarious.
“Donald Trump and his allies (American citizens) have the U.S. census in their sights ...”
Mr. JONES LIES.
I thought for sure this headline was Babylon Bee.
Seriously is that how they are framing it 😂😂😂 omg the headline alone proves the damn point yeah we only want CITIZENS ON THE DAMN CENSUS not illegals but dems need illegals to gain congressional seats they’d lose 30 without illegals
“rig the U.S. census”
Can’t get past the MSM headline, just here for the comments. lol
Not all resident aliens are recipients of government largesse.
Great news!
The title is hilarious.
Imagine: Only count citizens in a census! I’m outraged. 🙄
