This should be the single biggest priority for the Republican Party before midterms. Ensuring the Census only counts US Citizens ENDS the Democrat Party..
Rep Tim Burchett “Are illegal immigrants counted in the US Census?”
Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “Yes”..
Rep Tim Burchett “Is that data collected by the census used to decide how many congressional districts and electoral college votes a state gets?”
Census Bureau Director Robert Santos “it is”
Again, this should be the biggest priority to change. Democrats would be projected to lose a minimum of 27 congressional seats without illegals
...
The census is generally worthless, except to those who benefit from having inflated numbers to gain seats and funding
(Democrats would be projected to lose a minimum of 27 congressional seats without illegals)
Make it so
It has ALWAYS been citizens and legal residents (aliens). Look at the old forms. They are all on line.
27? It would depend where the illegals are living. I can see areas like southern Californian and NY and Texas and Florida all losing seats as the redistribution would give other states more representation. But the overall number of people per representative would go down also.
This and ending the misinterpretation of birthright citizenship.
The citizenry is the electorate and only they and their underage citizen offspring should be counted for purposes of apportionment.
Even the slaves were counted pre-Civil War. The 3/5 person was a compromise to reduce the number of representatives by the Southern DemocRats.
Willing to bet republicans wil! Vote against fixing the census.
Trump tried to stop the illegals from being counted in his 1st term. Roberts said in so many words that if wasn’t Trump they would have the illegals would not be counted but since it was Trump they went the other way.
Let it be written
Let it be done
The uncompromising Northern position was if you wanted them counted for redistricting, give them the vote.
It didn’t carry the day.
Repealing the 26th amendment would also be a good idea. It would return control of college towns to taxpayersvliving in those towns. In the same vein, students who over 21 but claimed as dependents by their parents should be considered as legal residents of the districts where their parents live and vote in those districts and not in the college towns where they temporarily reside.

BINGO!!
I would like to see a real breakdown of how this affects us, because I know Texas would lose a ton of seats if this was changed.
As soon as enough people realize that whatever they choose to put on their census forms is never questioned or verified, there will no longer be any reliability for the collected data. Anyone willing to falsify the data can do it with impunity. Fictitious people can be listed. Real people who are illegal aliens can be listed but designated as US citizens.
As far as I know all of the data collected is accepted as fact. Am I wrong here?
This is so retarded.
The census counts persons, not citizens. They census hotels where tourists are visiting. They census the Bowery in NY.
It’s in the Constitution. Stop this foolishness.
That’s why they imported them into the country to gain congressional seats without illegals they would cease to exist as a party imagine the gop with a plus 30 in seats what they could accomplish
Yep 👍👍👍
Invasions have consequences
“Invasions have consequences”
yup .....
How about we just count them on the way out.
Then we don’t have to worry about the census.
