"The plan was to count every person living in the newly created United States of America, and to use that count to determine representation in the Congress."
What is wrong with that man. The census is to count people.
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum Tuesday claiming that undocumented migrants should not be counted in the census for purposes of deciding how many members of Congress are apportioned to each state – though the practical impact of the president's expected move is uncertain at best.
"Respect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President's discretion under the law," Trump said in the brief document. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-tel...161353555.html
What is wrong with people that think illegal aliens should be counted in a census? They have no business being here. Illegals are deported daily.
It’s not enough yet but perhaps once these traitor mayors of sanctuary cities are arrested and/or replaced by law abiding politicians that enforce existing immigration laws the numbers of illegals will be significantly reduced.

Maybe corporate America should stop importing illegal labor by the millions.
Since those communities that have these illegals in their midst ARE American communities, their representation and federal funding should reflect that burden.
You know, those employers paying their illegal labor chicken feed depend on taxpayer benefits like food stamps, public housing and emergency room medical care to pad their profits at the public's expense.
There numbers are not used to make policy, but for determining how many House representatives each state shall have.
I mean, slaves were not considered citizens, or even human, but they were counted (or, each slave counted as 3/5ths of a person), in the census.
Slaves weren’t illegal aliens. The number of illegals should in no way determine hoW many house reps each state should have. That’s insane. They need to be deported and those that employ them heavily fined.

The original intention was to count everyone, and that is how it has always been from the very beginning. That means native American tribal members, legal aliens, illegal aliens, native born citizens, slaves ... everyone, always.
Foreign nationals who are living in the United States unlawfully have no business in the United States and their numbers should not be used to make policy. They aren't supposed to be here.
If they get any benefits we should be aware of their presence. They still have kids, drive, need housing, etc. Retail is predicated on numbers and earnings.
Well, Sanctuary cities and politicians who support that nonsense are breaking the law. They are taking a dump on Americans and American sovereignty.
They cheapen our citizenship and kick dirt on the sacrifices others made to secure that privilege.
You want to count illegals, let's count them as we are deporting them. Leftist politicians should receive NO BENEFIT for their lawlessness.
The Democrats prove time and time again they are the Party of anti American lawlessness. Support of illegal aliens, support of the BLM/Antifa violence and the enabling of Black on Black murder in every city nationwide are just a few examples.
If you want lawless societal breakdown, threats to your safety and security, and a disastrous economy vote for Democrats.

Deportation is a separate issue. The count is the count. It is a snapshot in time, once every ten years for the entire history of our republic.
