THIS IS WHY DEMOCRATS WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS INCLUDED IN THE CENSUS COUNT​



The U.S. census — a count of every person in the country that takes place every decade — is required by the U.S. Constitution

Its results determine how many congressional representatives each state receives.

It also dictates how the federal government allocates almost $900 billion a year in federal spending.

Even a 1% overcount can net a state billions of dollars, additional congressional representation, and extra electoral votes.

Federal agencies that rely on census data for program funding:

  • Justice $2 bln
  • Labor $6 bln
  • Treasury $12 bln
  • Housing and UrbanDevelopment $39 bln (Section 8 housing vouchers)
  • USDA $120 bln (SNAP, Low income housing loans, WIC)
  • Health and Human Services $492 bln (Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP)
  • Education $152 bln
  • Transportation $52 bln
  • SBA $7 bln
  • Homeland Security $1 bln
The Supreme Court is set to decide the fate of a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

DEMOCRATS claim that it will "discourage immigrants and those who are not yet citizens from participating" in the decennial survey.

Because many federal financial aid programs rely on population estimates to distribute funds, excluding illegal aliens will strip funding and political power from DEMOCRAT-dominated states with large illegal alien populations, like California and New York.

Now you know why DEMOCRATS want the citizenship question excuded

Why is it considered such a scandal to ask about citizenship, which is a question on other government surveys and isn’t new on the census?

Here is the Census Bureau itself describing what it asks as part of the very important, ongoing American Community Survey and why: "We ask questions about a person’s place of birth, citizenship, and year of entry into the United States to create data about citizens, noncitizens, and the foreign-born population".

Citizenship originated with the 1820 Census, place of birth originated with the 1850 Census, and year of entry originated with the 1890 Census. They transferred to the ACS in 2005 when it replaced the decennial census long form.

Asking people if they are citizens is done at the DMV to obtain or renew a drivers license (with proof) is done all over America.

Determining how many legal CITIZENS are here, will be a part of the census.
 
DEMOCRAT "contempt" in the House isn't about Russiagate. It's about the Census

The U.S. Census Bureau has revealed it will be embarking on a “test” this week with a specific purpose. Some 480,000 households across the nation will receive a questionnaire “testing the operational effects of including a citizenship question on the 2020 census.”

President Trump took a clear stand on the issue, noting in a tweet, “The American people deserve to know who is in this country.”

DEMOCRAT critics maintain that the inquiry would discourage immigrants from voting.

Boom. There it is.

A citizenship question is nothing new, Earl.

DEMOCRATS just held the Attoney General of the United States in contempt of Congress in their desperation to keep it off next year's census. We both know why.

And it will. Legal, and illegal.

Unless you are saying that illegal immigrants won't answer the question honestly...

Illegals are non-citizens. The Census should be indicative of citizens. Illegals (non-citizens) should be deported, not counted as it is the law.

Correct, Legion, it isn’t new.


The far left loons don’t want America to know that but we will tell them, right, Legion?
 
Census...”typically recording various details of individuals.”

As, are you a citizen who is in our country legally?

It will be upheld by the new Supreme Court.

They will be counted, Earl.

They will not be counted as citizens. That is the difference.

I hope so, Earl.

I wonder which of her clerks will write the late RBG's opinion in her absence.

They are terrified of photo ID to vote too.

Let’s be clear, the left wants illegals (non-citizens) to vote, drive cars and be counted as citizens.

Why, because they put votes ahead of the security of the American citizens.

The census is charged with getting an honest count of the people in America. It does not deal with just citizens. That is partyly because at any given time, many people are in the process of naturalization. However the census is used by local and state governments to apply services and construct roads, sewers, lighting among other projects. The census data is used by universities and think tanks for projects, It is also sold to private and corporate interests to determine their corporate planning. It needs to be accurate and count all the people.
The Repubs will politicize anything is they see a sliver of advantage.,
