Look up the word "whole" and then get back to me. We have always counted non-citizens....because the Constitution says to.
So you admit it does not say to count illegals.
Baby steps.
I admit it says to count the "whole" number...maybe one day you will take baby steps to the 2nd grade and learn what the word means.
Thanks for once again admitting it doesn’t say illegals.
They fall under the word "whole"....really this is a word people learn in the 2nd grade, why do you not know what it means?
No, they don’t.
Seems it is time to post these again for the really slow, stupid people...
From the Census Bureau:
Who is included in the resident population counts?
The resident population counts include all people (
citizens and non-citizens) who are living in the United States at the time of the census. People are counted at their usual residence, which is the place where they live and sleep most of the time.
The resident population also includes military and civilian employees of the U.S. government who are deployed outside the United States (while stationed or assigned in the United States) and can be allocated to a usual residence address in the United States based on administrative records from the Department of Defense.
The resident population counts for the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Island Areas are not included in apportionment calculations (because those areas do not have voting seats in the U.S. House of Representatives), but they are included in other data products.
Again from the Census Bureau
Are undocumented residents included in the apportionment population counts?
Yes, all people (citizens and noncitizens) with a usual residence in the 50 states are included in the resident population for the census, which means they are all included in the apportionment counts.
Are children under 18 years old included in the apportionment population counts even though they cannot vote?
Yes, all people of all ages (even newborn babies) with a usual residence in the 50 states are included in the resident population for the census, which means they are all included in the apportionment counts. Being registered or eligible to vote is not a requirement for inclusion in the apportionment counts.
