Of course. The entire crackdown on illegal aliens will help Blacks, as well as all citizens, but especially Blacks. Yet they still hate him & demonize him.

Yes. Being brainwashed is a very scary and sad state. It truly is an evil that has consumed the black citizens in our country. This is also why the left so demonizes EMPOWER black citizens that think for themselves as well as the anyone who doesn't follow the 'party line'. It's to keep the blacks/minorities in their place on the lefty reservation

It is one thing to believe and stand for leftist ideals from a place of intelligent reasoning and/or experience. But that is NOT usually the state of black leftists in this country. As we all know here at FR. And when it is it is usually financial and for power such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton that wouldn't have either if it weren't for their race bating lying carnival act. But I again. I am just speaking to the masses here that already know this here. Sad though. And TRULY evil. Hope more black Americans are waking up from the leftist cult brainwashing.

Have you ever heard of the US Constitution? Below are excerpts. Non-citizens are persons, not Indians nor were white immigrants ever considered 3/5 of a person. Therefore the US Constitution requires that all non-citizens be counted. (You can find language somewhere that excludes families of diplomats. Are you going to give diplomatic immunity to all those you wish were not here?) Are we going to obey the US Constitution?

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made every subsequent Term of ten Years

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Note also that the US Constitution does not prohibit States from registering non-citizens to vote. If one believes in literal interpretation of the Constitution then it is up to each state as to whether non-citizens are allowed to vote. We aren't there .... yet. But please don't do to the Constitution what the left does... find hidden penumbra to advance their agenda.

18 U.S. Code § 611 - Voting by aliens

(a) It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, unless—

(1) the election is held partly for some other purpose;

(2) aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance; and

(3) voting for such other purpose is conducted independently of voting for a candidate for such Federal offices, in such a manner that an alien has the opportunity to vote for such other purpose, but not an opportunity to vote for a candidate for any one or more of such Federal offices.

Supreme Court Leaves Door Open to States Not Counting Aliens when Drawing Electoral Districts

By Jon Feere on April 6, 2016

In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court held in Evenwel v. Abbott that Texas’s current methodology for drawing electoral districts based on total population is constitutionally sound. The Court did not rule on the question of whether states are required to include illegal aliens or other non-citizens when drawing districts. In fact, the Court noted that some states “have relied on the registered-voter or voter-eligible populations” for drawing districts and that 10 states already exclude some non-permanent residents.

Among the many,*many* reasons for expelling all 30 million wetbacks in the country is that the unemployment rate among minority citizens would plummet and their per capita incomes would skyrocket.

I'm willing to pay a little more for oranges if they're picked by citizens earning more than the $10 a day the wetbacks are currently paid.

I don’t know but I just found out the citizenship questions were on the 2010 long census form and now they’ll be on the long and short census forms.

"There you are. Blacks should be cheering."

That is the meat of the matter.

Every Black AMERICAN'S vote is being stolen by an ILLEGAL alien.

I have no idea why they wouldn't be outraged by that.

It isn't "white supremacists" disenfranchising them.

If black Americans aren't careful, they'll end up being REALLY disenfranchised, as democrat politicians will simply ignore them, and pander to illegals.

Do black people really think that someone like Luis Gutierrez really *cares* about them?

He could give a crap about black citizens.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he has said some pretty racist things about blacks in private.

Blacks may be happy with this, but many of them still want their freebies.

Excerpt from article I posted today on the citizenship question on census over the years:

For instance, in the 2000 long form, the question was “Is this person a CITIZEN of the United States?” There were five choices. The first four categories were citizens: born in the U.S., born in a territory of the U.S., born abroad to American parents or naturalized. The fifth choice was “No, not a citizen of the United States.”

However, in 2010, there was no long form (it had been replaced by the ongoing American Community Survey, which is sent to approximately 3.5 million addresses a year) and thus no citizenship question in the official census. The Trump administration now plans to bring it back. While the question’s been around a long time, it would be returning to the short form for the first time since 1950.

Census citizenship question sparks firestorm of protest

Name, rank, serial number. That is all until the knock on the door. 👹 Lucky for us we have a courtyard before the front door with a wrought iron gate and no door bell out there. If we know someone is stopping by we leave it open. Rest of the time, locked up.

“Black citizens should come before ANY and ALL illegals!”
******************************************************
They should indeed. Unfortunately, many blacks don’t recognize that the ‘RATS actually place the interests of illegals ahead of all citizens, including blacks.

The Dems seemed to have controlled it more often than not since 1980. 1990 has been the one and only time until 2020 has a GOP administration presided over a census.

I have researched my family history and most, if not all of the censuses up until 1940 had a citizenship question on them
