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

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.

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.

you do realize the amount of representatives a state has equals more power in Washington and the ability to make Policy. Is basic civic knowledge so lacking today.

The data in the census is used for government programs, funding, policies, and all manner of decision-making. Their numbers shouldn't be used for any of those purposes.

Stop comparing illegal immigrants to slaves! Illegal immigrants are victims of nothing!

With slaves, there was an agreement between the states when the constitution was ratified. There is no such agreement between the states currently. So now a state can float federal immigration law, and increase their representation against other states? No, that's not fair. Sorry California.
