AOC encourages illegals to fill out census.

“Illegal aliens should not be counted equally to law-abiding Americans and legal immigrants – plain and simple,” Assemblyman Mike LiPetri said in a statement...it doesn’t matter if you work hard and play by the rules, we’re going to prioritize criminals and those here illegally over you.”

How is getting an accurate head count of the population "prioritizing criminals" over hard working Americans?

That is a totally screwy argument with no logical basis whatsoever.

The Census is a head count. It asks various other questions the government is interested in knowing in any given decade, but it is primarily a head count.

LiPetri's gripe is moot anyway, since there is no way for the census to know who is legal or illegal. The question everyone was so up in arms about didn't either, actually, but anyway--that question was kept off.
 
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, 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 within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse [sic] three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

US Constitution, Article I, Section 2

[emphasis mine]

Yeah ... sucks ... the damn constitution doesn't say to count only citizens, but to count all people ... 2/3's of each house of Congress and 3/4's the States ... easy peasy ...
 
It's the only way the left can get a bigger representation in our government. Cheat the system anyway they can. With Americans fleeing leftist shitholes they need illegals to replace them.

What illegality is she pushing?
The census is to count the “population” of the United States. The “population” of a country is defined by the number if citizens of that country.

it is a fraud to present yourself as a citizen when you are not.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls on illegal immigrants to fill out 2020 census

The census counts everyone in the country, as per the Constitution.

stop making a fool out of yourself
Where does it say to count "non citizens"? Quote it.

It says to count the the whole number of persons in each State. Never mentions anything about citizenship.

Do you not ever get tired of being wrong?

"Inhabitant" = Permanent resident.

Non-citizens are not here permanently.

Next?

The census is used to determine the number of Representative in Congress from each state there is. Non-citizens don't get a say in who their representative is, only citizens of the US do.

Get a clue, moron.

whole number is pretty clear, I am not sure why this confuses you so much.

We have always counted non-citizens. This is not new.

Non-citizens don't get a vote in who their representative is, but they do get counted for the apportionment for each state...always have.
