President Donald Trump has directed the Commerce Department to conduct a new census, one that counts citizens of the United States and omits illegal aliens. "I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday.
The 2020 Census was alarmingly inaccurate, resulting in faulty congressional representation in Washington D.C.

It will certainly be interesting to see how different the numbers are.

This is a huge development that, if it survives all the legal efforts that will be desperately taken to stop it, will massively change the political landscape and the future of this country.
And if I correctly recall, I believe it was Obama who put the Census Bureau directly under the authority of the President. So that's a very ironic and interesting bit of history that now makes it easier for President Trump to direct its policies and procedures.

Can we apply AI to the 2020 data to cure all the problems? I am just worried how long it might take to get results from a complete census. Or maybe we can use existing technology such as a website to streamline the process. In fact, with such a system, which the Dims would fight tooth and nail, we could update the census annually. A don't tell me that not everyone has the internet.

Trump seems to be on firm legal ground here, so the Dems will have to implement delaying tactics in their blue states, all the while screaming that this is unconstitutional. The Dems can try to stop this in the courts, but they are going to have to come up with something other than "it's unconstitutional". When Obama put the WH in charge of the census, he forgot the Reid Theorem.

The more reasonable and legal a proposal is, the more shrill and desperate will be the democrats' cries...because they've been doing illegal and unreasonable stuff for so long, they no longer no the difference.

To think that the originators of the constitution wanted illegals counted for representation purposes is idiotic. Hell...native Americans weren't counted and they were BORN HERE!

Well I hope the collective gasp from the progs doesn't suck all the oxygen out of the atmosphere.

California will pitch a fit. Too many illegals that they are used to having taxpayers pay for. US citizens should not have to pay for democrat attempts to bring in replacement voters. Live with it.

The problem with 6's plan is that AI has the same weakness as other computer programs. It is entirely dependent on the programming, and the built in assumptions of the programmer. It cannot be trusted without independent human oversight and a presumption of innocence.

It's about time. The last one was totally screwed up by one of his own people. NO illegal should be counted.

Can we include Somalis in that no-count census? I fail to see any value there or the reason for bringing them to this country. I do see the destruction of a once-beautiful city and a loudmouthed person in Congress who should not be there.

He can have a count without illegal aliens all he wants. But Article I, Section 2 regarding the census counting everybody for Rep apportionment; Article I, Section 4 regarding States determining "time, place and manner" of elections; and Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 regarding the electoral college are going to be hard hurdles to overcome for applying any alternate counts.
That's why it's important to boot out every last illegal alien. They have an impact on Rep apportionment and the Presidency (through the Electoral College) without doing anything but being counted in the census.
