If illegal aliens are not counted, California will lose at lease 1/2 dozen seats and NY and Florida would both lose several seats.
I didn’t even know that was going on.....
I’m sure you’re right. This is a huge ripoff of American citizens.
Wow, they have thought of every conceivable way of stacking the deck.
This is something a law abiding citizen wouldn’t even consider happening in our country, it’s a no-brainer that this shouldn’t be happening.
More evidence of the Bizarro world in which we live today. How anyone could even fathom to count illegals for the purpose of congressional apportionment is mind-bogging. The country is being stolen from right under our noses and there is little we can do about it. The corrupt idiots at the grass roots level (i.e. leftist community organizers) are summarily stealing the country one zipcode at a time.
IMHO Illegal Immigration is at the root of so very many of our problems in this country. Not only are they counted in the census to determine all sorts of things, they flood our emergency rooms, using them as their doctor’s office (closing many hospitals on the borders), they take jobs that Americans WOULD LOVE TO HAVE in these hard times. And what about all of the voter fraud-do illegals have anything to do with that or is that why the liberals and some RINOs want amnesty? Illegal Immigration has not been addressed in any of the debates to the extent that I would like to have heard.
This is going to be interesting. In that a State is suing, the SCOTUS is almost obliged to take the case. Oddly enough, the Census Bureau might use the argument formerly used for slaves, that illegal aliens be counted as 3/5ths of a person.
and America takes another one in the........
Wonderful!!! This always bothered me and I think there is a strong Equal Protection argument to be made.
They could try but they would be comparing apples to oranges. The illegals can walk away and go back home anytime they want to. The slaves could not. Or at least not legally.
ONLY Louisiana?
There should probably be one of these suits in all 57 states.
Louisiana has no case as the Constitution directs us to count people, not only citizens.
No need to duplicate it. It will affect all 50 states.
How expensive will the census get if everyone they speak with has to produce a birth certificate that has to be verified? Just asking.
The census takers speak with few people, it’s based mostly on forms filled out by individuals.
they fill out forms and mail them in!?!?!? That’s cojones!!!!!
