The purpose of the census is the count the amount of people in our borders, not the amount of citizens. This is the reason why the question has not been ask since the 50's. The census was never designed to influence politics.
Right after we moved in here in 1997 ... we were issued census papers.
Anyway, it asks for members of the household. It s all about numbers.
My kids are US Citizens who are NOT eligible to vote.
I’m in favor of citizenship questions because it is valid to one of the purposes of the census. Only citizens count when it comes to district maps for the House of Representatives. By removing the citizenship question it has allowed regions and states heavy in illegal aliens to gain more representation.
1. since when has a leftist ever "strictly interpreted the constitution"
2. the census is use for apportionment purposes. apportionment is determined by the count... and the count can be reduced when taking into consideration those that cannot legally vote. Therefore the census can and should include all data that relates to apportionment.
1.) As soon as they think it gives them an edge. Unfortunately, they seem to always interpret it incorrectly.
2.) Exactly right. And that is it's primary purpose, even though it has been used for other purposes since. The Constitution only mentions apportionment.
XIV Amendment says nothing about the census. The Constitution, strictly interpreted, says representatives are apportioned by the total number of people, not citizens. That's what it says. If you don't like it, feel free to hold a seance and talk to the founding fathers.
and IF The Constitution, strictly interpreted, you count ALL minorities as 3/5's a person.....

They used to actually Teach Civics in School ....... INCLUDING the Amendments to the US Constitution.
You are about 50 years behind the times. Color me
I think he just admitted that illegal aliens vote. They don't want voter ID nor a legit census because they'd be screwed.

So, how many instances of people illegally renting out a garage with 15 construction workers living it do you believe there are?
Here, there are plenty of 2 bedroom apartments with 12-15 people living in them. Take it from a retired sub-contractor in LA, it's a really bad situation here.
