Trump signs order to prevent illegal immigrants from being counted in redrawing of voting districts

He can't do that shit!! Plain and simple!!


The U.S. Constitution requires that a census of the entire population, citizens and noncitizens alike, be made every ten years (Article I, Section 2, Clause 3). The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution directs that the census will be used to determine the number of members of the U.S. House of Representatives from each state.

Illegal Aliens have no rights to citizenship therefore should not be represented in the halls of Congress.

Well then you need to push for a constitutional amendment on that. Otherwise you might as well shut up about it. Do you also think that UNDOUMNTED HUMAN BEINGS should be deprived of due process and equal protection under the law? What EXACTLY is your vision for America?
they are called illegals....its ok to say it....
No it is not. They are human beings in search of a better life

Someone may decide that living in my house is a better life. Guess what would happen should they decide to act upon that decision.

The US Constitution is so clear that we have a US Supreme Court that can't agree on anything written in it.
Listen Smiley . I would to these conservative ass hats on the high bench try to some constitutional contortions to explain away the very plain language of that clause. There are some things that are unambiguous. Do you have any legal theory as to how they might justify Trumps power grab on this?
Unlike yourself, I do not claim to be a US Constitutional expert.
It seems, however, that when the USSC follows your ideology. you are quite pleased.

no one said they are not humans........until they apply and get citizenship they are illegals...

Why, yes I do: It's called the Plain Meaning of the Constitution. The term "persons" was used to determine Congressional representation because there were no "citizens" at the time of its writing. Temporary residents such as foreign diplomats and their children were specifically excluded. 3/5 of slaves were specifically included. The 14th Amendment then used the same term for the purpose of eliminating that 3/5 provision.

Furthermore



Foreign Citizens in the United States
Citizens of foreign countries who are living in the United States, including members of the diplomatic community, should be counted at the U.S. residence where they live and sleep most of time.
Citizens of foreign countries who are temporarily visiting the United States on vacation or business on April 1, 2020, should not be counted.

And there is nothing about their legal status.
 
And how exactly will the administration know that an immigrant is ‘illegal’ – that an immigrant might be undocumented doesn’t mean he’s ‘illegal.’

This is yet another example of Trump the hateful, frightened bigot pandering to his hateful, frightened, bigoted base.

What it is is an example of your unbridled ignorance.
 
It only makes sense to do this. The only reason Democrats have become so far in the illegal camp, which really only started after 2008, is because the Democrats like wedge-issues to win certain groups:
(1) Latino and Asians: Illegal Immigration; Fake calls of racism
(2) Black: Voter ID; Hate on the Police; Welfare; Fake calls of racism
(3) White Blue Collar: Sellout to Unions
(4) Jews: White Guilt; Fake tying alt-right to the GOP; Falsely tying antisemitism to other racism and putting Jews in the same boat with minorities
