Nope. Let me make your day.

Special Census Program

Basic enumerations of population, housing units, group quarters and transitory locations conducted by the Census Bureau at the request of a governmental unit.

A BILL
To prevent congressional reapportionment distortions by requiring that, in the questionnaires used in the taking of any decennial census of population, a checkbox or other similar option be included for respondents to indicate citizenship status or lawful presence in the United States.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Count Only Citizens Act”.
SEC. 2. Citizenship or lawful presence status on census questionnaires.

In conducting the 2030 decennial census and every decennial census thereafter, the Secretary of Commerce shall include, in any questionnaire distributed or otherwise used for the purpose of determining the total population by States, a checkbox or other similar option for respondents to indicate citizenship status or lawful presence in the United States.
SEC. 3. Prevention of congressional reapportionment distortions.


(a) Adjustments To prevent distortions.—Section 141 of title 13, United States Code, is amended—

(1) by redesignating subsection (g) as subsection (h); and
(2) by inserting after subsection (f) the following:


“(g) The Secretary shall make such adjustments in total population figures as may be necessary, using such methods and procedures as the Secretary determines feasible and appropriate, in order that those who are not United States citizens or are not lawfully present in the United States are not counted in tabulating population under subsection (b) for the purposes of apportionment of Representatives in Congress among the several States. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to supersede section 195 of this title.”.

Trump won two times and the third was a questionable loss. This last election Trump won the electoral vote, the popular vote, the House, the Senate, and every single swing state. Apparently Trump was a good candidate. Funny though how you claim Trump wasn't a good candidate and an anti-Trumper wasn't a good candidate either.

Winning an election or nomination doesn't make someone good at anything except campaigning.
After Trumps first 4 years, he should've been booted out of the RNC based on his record.

$8 trillion spent in just 4 years.
1 spending bill veto.
Increased debt ceiling, every time it came up.
The covid shot.
Assaulting our 2A twice.
Trying to start 2 new wars.
Not ending 1 war.
^^^^ The list of leftist/socialist BS goes on and on. (IE his Platinum Plan)

How TF this man became the RNC's nominee in 2020, is the same stupid reason Mitt Romney got the nomination in 2012. Republicans are morons.

 

[YoursTruly]

Another person predicting the future. That's all you've ever got with Trump. By the way, your crystal ball is broken. It NEVER works.

It's called "cycle" for a reason. Bust's ALWAYS happens after or during a big spending presidents term. It's the big spending that causes it.
$8 trillion in just 4 years buys a LOT of inflation. And it devalued the USD by 16%.

I think illegals should be counted to find out how many are here but not counted for apportionment purposes. Our elected officials ought to be making decisions based on the needs and desires of US citizens but not non-citizens. Which is not to say they shouldn't have some basic civil rights and consideration for their needs too, but IMHO that should not include the right to vote.

Most illegals won't let themselves be counted.

Well, since Trump won the electoral vote, the popular vote, every swing state and the House and the Senate, apparently you are wrong.

Inflation went up under Biden and the dems. It's going down under Trump. Oh yeah, I forgot, you were talking about the future that you predict. I predict you are going to have a very bad next four years. My prediction has a much better chance of coming through than yours does.

 

[Hellokitty]

YOU could have googled the reason why and but then we couldn't call you out on just how STUPID you truly are.

The Constitution says EVERYBODY gets counted, because it's necessary to apportion resources according to POPULATION. If non-citizen slaves hadn't been counted, then the South would never had had "proportional representation", or received federal funding for their infrastructure.

Schools, hospitals, water treatment facilities, sewage treatment facilities, and other service all humans require, citizen or not, are all allocated based on population.

If MAGA wasn't so completely dependent on the lies Trump tells them, they would KNOW that.

So you all acknowledge they're using resources.

Next question why should counting illegals add up to additional government representation?

 

[RhodyPatriot]

That's the spirit.

Biden didn't bring inflation with him in his luggage to the white house. It was going to increase, regardless of who was president in 2021. Same as high gas prices.

Trump just got lucky he wasn't in the white house in 2021/2022.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Trump wont be president in 2030. You guys are such lemmings.

The census plan is put into action prior to it being conducted.

And you're correct, Trump will not be President.

Vance will.

And you'll still be the lemming being led off the cliff by your pied piper media and DNC, continuing to lose while being promised that MAGA's impending doom is just over the horizon - for real this time!

Sad.

 

[Moonglow]

Only citizens should be counted.

Native born and legally naturalized.

That is not what the Constitution says.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Maybe Republicans could try nominating better candidates?

We've got the White House, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the majority of governorships - and now we're rewriting the census for further victories.

But yeah.

We need better candidates.

Ha!

You're amusing.

 

[Luckyone]

Stephen Miller is spearheading a plan to shepherd through a new bill in the House/Senate that will ensure - going forward - only US citizens are counted in the Census.

This should add 12 seats into the GOP column.

That's about the future, the MAGA legacy.

In the meantime, TX and OH as redistricting in such a fashion that should provide Mike Johnson an extra six or seven seat firewall.



Happy Fourth MAGA, the future is looking bright.

Who has more power (and money), Miller or Musk?

This Party should take away many seats from the GOP column

Who has more money?

Musk.

Who has more power?

Miller.

Easily.

Who had more money in 2016 and 2024?

Oh yeah, the party that lost both times.

This is just another mirage in your endless quest for something - anything - that finally sticks.

And the results will be the same.

Failure for you, victory for MAGA.

You lose.

Again.

 

[dblack]

Yeah. If you want to keep control you do. Trump only won because Democrats suck. Not because he's a good candidate. But keep your sights low if you think that's best.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Yeah. If you want to keep control you do. Trump only won because Democrats suck. Not because he's a good candidate. But keep your sights low if you think that's best.

6% of Democrats liked Trump enough to switch parties in 2024.

And now PA is about to turn red with more registered Republicans than Democrats for the first time in decades.

NJ and NY also turning.

Just continue to ignore all rational evidence because Orange Man scares you.

But understand that it's not a good look to those of us who are still sane.

 

[dblack]

6% of Democrats liked Trump enough to switch parties in 2024.

Yeah. Because the Dem nominees sucked. We went over that. Nearly every Trump voter I talk to, outside the flaming drones on this website, admits he sucks. They just think he sucks less than Democrats. And because they believe their trapped in the two party system, they see Trump as the only alternative.

But ... wouldn't be nice to nominate a genuinely good candidate? Someone with real leadership skills that could persuade people to get behind good policies? Can you even imagine it?
