    If the census was just to determine house and electoral vote distribution, I would say go for it! The states with higher number of non-citizens are normally represented by Republicans. If they want to decrease their power, great!

    However, the census is also used for funding allocation for things that help noncitizens. Not counting them would screw up that.

      They don’t want to help noncitizens at all. He’ll they don’t want to help anyone but themselves. Prosperity doctrine done fucked them up.

      Noncitizens pay taxes, too.

      What was that thing people shouted a long time ago? No taxation without representation?

      Maybe they should get more substantial representation…?

        Oh, they got that quote all screwed up. It should say: “No! Taxation without representation!”

      It’s just the opposite, actually. Most migrants are bused to sanctuary cities in Democratic states. They increase representation in the House for Democrats.

      Lol, they will count each and every illegal immigrant in their red states and county’s without issue or fuss, and they will turn around use their legal weight to contest the coint of each and every minority with a funny sounding name in blue states, demanding they be thoroughly investigated.
