“Because the census is critical to setting political representation at all levels of government, an accurate census is the bedrock of fair political representation,”


Which is exactly why illegal aliens should not be counted in the census. Why should my representation in Congress be diluted by a non-citizen foreign national?

Forget apportionment, Democrats have never hidden their devotion to representing non-citizens and their legal/philosophical defense of that!

Democrats Must Hide: How Many More Voters Than Citizens In Democrat Controlled Areas!

If known, they can not legally or philosophical defend that - and without it they can not win (and could not have won) so many elections.

Citizens should be afraid of waking up one day and being a minority of the population.

The Census Act of 1790 directs that all persons in a district shall be counted except for Indians who are tax exempt.

The original Act says nothing about citizenship.

The original law has been amended or modified many times.

In 2016, just six weeks after Scalia died, the Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that “all persons present” must be counted in any district.

So, apparently the precedent law or the Constitution must have very compelling language about this issue.

If you are afraid of citizenship questions, you should be.

They break the law when they sneak into this country, use some citizen’s social security number, file fraudulent applications to get SNAP cards and other welfare, and lie when they get their voter registration cards. So it shouldn’t bother them too much to lie to the census taker, too.

Make it question #1: Are you, and all in your household, US citizens and/or legal aliens?

If you answer “NO” to question #1, then all other information for that household is discarded and not valid for the census count.

The socialist-democrats would shit kittens over this.

...some [All illegal] residents are worried about a topic that may come up in the 2020 Census for the first time in 70 years: their immigration status.

I fixed the post; But I can't help wondering... what happened in 1948?
Who introduced the bill? Who joined in sponsoring? Why?

The Census Bureau is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and its director is appointed by the President of the United States.

Who decided that statistical information about United States residents was no longer a useful statistic?

All it took to restore this useful information was an Executive Order? So all it takes is an Executive Order?

So the traitor and communist slut Tatiana Sanchez is worried about the immigration status of her alien invaders. Good.

To answer your question, because the Constitution requires it.

“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons...”

Since illegal aliens aren’t slaves or untaxed Indians, they get counted.
