You should also add that these immigrants - they're paying a lot of taxes - local, state and federal.
You may want to do some research.....illegals cost our country FAR more than they contribute. I could do it for you, but don't be lazy...do it yourself.....
The 2020 Decennial Census is designed to count every person living in the U.S., and many of the design decisions were made a few years back. A super-simplified explanation of its design is to build a database of potential addresses, eliciting responses from those addresses either through self reporting or over-the-phone or in-person interviews, and checking the reliability of the responses.
It's fair enough if you want only citizens and perhaps legal permanent residents to be counted. However, they simply aren't going to be able to redesign it to build a comprehensive and reliable dataset after the Decennial is already underway. As far as I'm aware, the Census Bureau doesn't even have a database of citizens or legal permanent residents and the law ensures the privacy of individual responses from other use by the Federal government, so another agency couldn't even mine the data to build a count of only citizens. You'd have to fight for changes in law/design for the 2030 Decennial Census and/or how the data from the Census is used for decision-making.
I'm reposting this for all the people who are simply too thick to understand that the Census Bureau simply lacks the capability to change the design of the 2020 Decennial, which was based on its statutorily mandated objective, to build a reliable data-set that filters out illegal immigrants within the time-frame that's statutorily mandated.
Living in the country legally...........such a simple concept.....
Shall we count people flying over in an airplane? Makes as much sense as squatters not supposed to be here. If someone breaks into your house until they are evicted isn't a "roommate" or a resident. How stupid are these people.
The only thing I can think of is they are offspring of illegals or they are actually here illegally. Nothing else makes any sense at all.
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
They're illegals. Illegals should be entitled to nothing. Illegals should not be counted in the census. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand.
The U.S. has been doing a census since the birth of the country and the rules are WELL-established...dumb trump is the one trying to skirt around them. He tried before and got slapped down and this is even more egregious...even his hand-picked justices can only overlook so much.
it has been a census question for well over 150 years..........until obozo had it taken off in 2010
this question was for all
are you a citizen?
are you a greencard emigrant?
what year did you emirate?
year and ship arrival?
country of origin?
helps give an HONEST accounting of personnel within each local/county/state
and, it certainly has been useful for genealogy purposes..... why are liberals against honesty

There seems to be some confusion between the short and long form. Only 1/6 households received a long form. It was phased out after the 2000 census in favor of the American Community Survey which is an ongoing survey not limited to Census years.
The Obama Admin made no changes relation to citizenship Questions, as a few here have claimed.
1960 Census: https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/1...ionnaire-2.pdf
included questions like where was the person born (country), where was you father born, how much is your rent, occupation, how much did your earn

Not only that but the poster called them plain ole "immigrants", lol! Such dishonesty on their part. Here are the stats. Illegal aliens cost us over $100 billion a year while they contribute only $19 billion in taxes not to mention the billions they send back to their homelands.
