USA Census – Some Baffling Questions?
The debate on the American census has me honestly baffled.
It’s hard to be fair to the Democrats, given their eagerness to blur the differences between crimmigrants and honest immigrants who don’t seek to jump the queue.
But let’s try.
..
…
Pelosi’s pusillanimous pack object to the Trump Administration reform by which the census would once again include a question about citizenship.
I’d have thought the more facts about the population the census can glean, the better.
Democrats seem to find it difficult to articulate their reasons for objecting. I’ve heard them say it would deter ‘immigrants’ from filling in the census form.
Surely not, if they’re honest immigrants, legally resident in America?
If they’re illegals,of course they will avoid advertising their unlawful presence.
….
…
The Dems seemingly want immigrants to be counted, not, needless to say, to facilitate the capture and deportation of illegals, but because not including immigrants would ‘skew’ the totals – fewer federal funds to states, fewer congressional seats, if the recorded population is smaller than the real population.
Quite true!
But the problem should not arise – unless there’s something fishy about all those ‘legal’ immigrants, that stops them filling in a government form!
Can some of my United States readers please help make sense of this puzzling situation?

The Dems are scared that when electoral districts are redrawn every so many years, it will be done on the basis of how many legal citizens entitled to vote are in each congressman’s district.
The Dems hate that idea like poison.

The issue is simple, namely that the Administration wants to count how many of the population are American citizens and rhe Democrats do not.

‘Lefftists hate the idea of the American people knowing more about the number of foreign nationals present in the United States, which is why they oppose a census question about citizenship.’
That one sentence from Judicial Watch answers your questions perfectly.

I only now saw this question of yours and it can be hard for non-Americans to get why the citizenship question is so important.
Trump understands this and that is why he is digging in his heels and trying hard to push it through.
If you read this short article by Rachel Alexander, then it might be cleared up for you and others.

Saying all that, the interest you show in US politics is appreciated.
