It’s a census of citizens! It’s not about people who are not here permanently!
“They argued doing so would be advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.”
So they admit that not doing so puts DemocRats at an unfair advantage.
California, Texas, New Mexico have enclaves of red districts that have heavy illegal immigrant populations. To see those areas loose House seats would be fitting justice.
Go Trump, drain the swamp.
Finish the wall and round up visa overstays. Then go after all illegals and deport them immediately! Any other questions?
Now we know that the bigger game here is not that many of these illegals will vote in the elections. The even bigger game is to give the communist communities where they live more representation after the census. This is even more damaging than the illegal voting.
Amendment XIV
“Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside...
“Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers
,counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed....”
Call off the census or delay it for one year until the question of citizenship is allowed.
Senor Resident Ilicito must be counted, but he doesn’t factor into apportionment.
We will have maybe 370 million residents and about 340 million citizens. Apportionment will be based on those 340 million citizens(excluding DC residents).
Federal funding will generally be based on the 370 million residents, as Congress (and the President) get to decide.
Estimado Senor Resident Ilicito:
We are not able to verify US citizenship in your case. A copy of your census form is attached. Please ensure any error with respect to US citizenship in your case gets corrected.
Muchos Gracias,
Presidente Trump

“worried that citizenship information will be used by states and local governments to redraw legislative boundaries using only U.S. citizens”
Um why should non-US citizens determine our legislative boundaries?
Not sure if the Constitution wanted districts determined by citizens, but I think it did.
If so, then this info is needed.
Mu impression is that the Department considered impact on the Party of considering citizenship. I do not think such a consideration rules out the collection of the info.
Party preference is not inherently a racial qualification.
By their fruit you will recognize them.
Civil rights groups challenged Trump’s order, worried that citizenship information will be used by states and local governments to redraw legislative boundaries using only U.S. citizens instead of the entire population. They argued doing so would be advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.

Not doing so is disadvantageous to USA citizens. It undermines and dilutes our votes in the what is supposed to be our representative government-spit.
