Trump backs renewed push to rig the U.S. census by only counting citizens
MSNBC ^ | July 4, 2025 | Ja'han Jones

Posted on 07/12/2025 6:02:56 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

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.

No. That would be unrigging it. The rigging took place when they started counting illegal aliens.

When you count illegal aliens in a census it does several things. Although they can not legally vote it increase the number of congressional districts. It increases federal funding for social programs in those districts. It increases the number of electoral votes in that state.

Is this fair? Think about it.

The Democrats wanted slaves counted toward representation to give pro slave states more power. Now they have a similar position for counting illegal aliens...who they can also exploit as cheap laborers and domestic servents.

Feds should look into Ja’han Jones’s voting record.

I know we often throw the phrase "They're not even trying to hide it anymore," somewhat tongue-in-cheek but Jesus wept! Read the headline.

They are literally not trying to hide it anymore.

“Trump backs renewed push to stop Democrats from again rigging the U.S. census by counting non-citizens.”

There, fixed it.

"Trump backs renewed push to rig the U.S. census by only counting citizens"

I see from the scroll in Ja’han Jones’s picture from Caww's Post #41 that he's an "influencer" of Hip Hop.

He was so used to transcribing those lyrics that he got his 'R's and 'N's mixed up, so was just calling us Brothers instead of vote cheaters.

As in "Whassup my rigger?"
It's plainly his editor's fault for not catching the error.

Same here.

Actually, rigging the U.S. census is when non-citizens ARE counted.

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.

At least the "old-timey" Democrats were more-modest in their demands - and accepted that an individual slave would count as "only" three-fifths of a "real person!"

People can allow their mind to be so deluded by influence of evil of this world, that they come up with thoughts and articles as Ja’han has.

Adding (Barf) to the posted title would have been appropriate.

Non-citizens do not get to participate in democracy. If they become citizens, they do. Duh.

“...only counting citizens...”?

One would have thought that’s all it should EVER be!
