I seem to remember seeing something on the History Channel about how our forefathers viewed foreign influence over our government.

If they want a say in government, they have their own in the country of their citizenship. If they want to participate in our government, then here is a well established process they can go through to do so.

If they don’t like those options, tough cookies. It is not up to foreigners to decide whether or not the citizenship process is burdensome, too long, or unfair.

If illegals shouldn't be counted....then none of their offspring ....born in the USA....should be counted.

Therein lies the dilemma.

Just the fact that headline was even written tells us how far down the rabbit hole we’ve gone

How about we send them home and they ‘count’ in their own countries?

How about if illegals vote here, Americans get to vote in their countries?

No, absolutely not! You’re way off base.

You should not be counted if you have a valid visa. A visa doesn’t grant you the right to vote. Only US citizens should be counted in the census.

If they manage to pull that off, I can imagine them gradually stretching the meaning of ‘non-citizen’ to apply to ’every noncitizen in the world’.

Are the offspring of the illegals US citizens? Yes? Then, the offspring should be counted.

What is it about the concept that you don’t understand?

Uh oh, the 3/5’s clause is up for re-negotiation. The Democrats want a full vote for it’s illegal alien, powerless underclass, the modern equivalent of slaves.

Should non-journalists be allowed to write for the WSJ?
Apparently any idiot is qualified.

To see what the results of this would be just look at any small town with a large university (like Berkely). The 18 year old students out number the residence of Berkely but because 18 year olds can vote, the entire nature of the town is changed into a Liberal fairy land.

The Students are only there for four years. They are not property owners. Yet they can get elected people who don’t represent the people paying the bills nor will they have to live in the “socialist paradise” they help create).

Non residence come to this nation for money. They send a lot of that money back to their home country. They have no loyalty to this nation nor do they really care what happens to us. They have a place to go if things get bad.

The answer is not only no, but the question should not even be asked.

Not NO, but HELL NO!!!! We already have representation for the 9/11 jihadis, they just keep pushing the envelope!!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET is now just some slogan that has been FORGOTTEN!!!! I have been on this site for 25 years, (changed my screen name a few years back), I have seen people talk about having to take up arms and head for DC and always thought it was just crazy talk, NOW I am not so sure it is just crazy talk!!! What these BASTARDS have done to our POTUS is disgusting, the ENTIRE DC alphabet coming down on Tea Party people with NO CONSEQUENCES, Fast and Furious, NO CONSEQUENCES, Benghazi NO CONSEQUENCES, SOS private server in basement NO CONSEQUENCES, country being INVADED by illegals, I honestly don’t know how much more before the dam breaks, HOW MUCH will our side be willing to let them get away with, I think it is at a BOILING POINT!!!
