Why is the Census Bureau allowed to include foreigners who are trespassing in the count that determines congressional representation??

This next census, whether they do it mid-decade, which I know they've considered doing another census - cause I think you have to do it once every ten years, it doesn't mean that you can't do it more than once every ten years under the Constitution, they should do it and count people who are legally allowed to be here.

The census that congressional districting is based on is completely bogus because it counts illegal immigrants. How can actual Americans be represented when citizens of other countries can be imported into their neighborhood to stack the deck in favor of one political party?

How many seats would California lose if you only counted lawful people. They would lose a lot of seats, because they're a sanctuary state. For us, we would stand to gain because we did not spend money to try to count illegals because I don't think that is constitutionally proper ... any way you cut it we got shortchanged.

Ron DeCensus, everyone!

Seems like a no-brainer.

In fact, since the purpose of a system is what it does, I'd start asking why this was ever allowed in the first place. 🤔
