I guess we can expect another law suit

I can see a compromise... Count them as 3/5 a person.

(joke.... Not a good one, but a joke nonetheless)

Why would you count criminals (by definition any illegal alien is someone here who is breaking the law by being in the USA) to add to your city, county, state numbers for more political sway in congress???

We count citizens. We count legal aliens and immigrants. EVERY criminal should be prosecuted and deported. There is not "wiggle room". If they can "count" them, that means they can "find" them.

This is national sovereignty and cannot imagine any other nation just allowing illegal people to enter and then vote or be counted for Census.

Liberals will scream - they WANT power and power comes from numbers. Who cares if they are legal immigrant (like your ancestors and mine) or legal aliens (allowed by our nation to live/work here) or just criminals who have broken in to our nation. Numbers.

They also assume every illegal alien will align with the Left/Democrat Socialist haters of Law/Constitution.

I've notice that President Trump has gotten more bold with his executive orders of late, ...since the SCOTUS allowed Obama's DACA order to stand. What's good for the goose... For a law suit to prevail against Trump's executive order on this immigration matter there would have to be a double standard.

SC allowed it to stand due to process not merits

So the Democrats brought a case before the Supreme Court and made the case saying the President couldn’t put a question on the census asking if a responder was a citizen or not.

NOW the president under executive order says the illegals can’t participate in the census.

SO now the democrats will have to count the illegals to show how many people in their cities are being missed.

Trump trumped them again.

My only concern is, Why Now?
I filled out my census questions quite a while ago.

I think the reason for "Now" is because we'll soon be upon the election, and we do not want Illegals counted as citizens because the Left will have them all voting for crooked Biden. I hope the law sticks.

If you’re going to count them that way, shouldn’t they be working for free?

In the recent Wallace interview Trump said, the SCOTUS decision on DACA gave him the right to sign an immigration plan, a health care plan, etc – that by their DACA decision the SCOTUS gave the President powers that nobody ever thought they had.
