Okay, let’s say that they only counted citizens, and the questions on the census reflected that. Texas and Florida would both lose representatives, since those states have larger undocumented immigrant populations. So I don’t know why they would want to do that.
Well, yes. But not counting undocumented immigrants means that they would have lower numbers on the census, and would end up having less representation in congress, and thus less ability to exert control and harm the ‘right’ people. It’s just stupidly counterproductive.

Because they want to control and hurt people. Not help.
