President Trump is putting America first again. This time, he’s going after the rigged system that counts illegal aliens in the U.S. Census, skewing congressional representation and rewarding sanctuary states with more power. On Thursday, Trump announced he’s directing the Department of Commerce to conduct a new, corrected census — one that actually counts American citizens and excludes those here illegally.
“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,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social.

Cue wailing and gnashing of teeth by DemoRoids that illegal aliens are being disenfranchised.
Oh, the irony would be sweet if they actually protest illegal aliens' disenfranchisement!

Absolutely. And stop counting illegals. They shouldn't even be here.

Don't want to rain on the parade here, but didn't PDJT order that the 2020 census exclude illegals, and wasn't that litigated through the courts to a ruling against him? And why should we expect that another census conducted now wouldn't be litigated so that illegals would have to be included? PDJT is working -- successfully so far, albeit at a somewhat slower pace than he'd life -- to deport illegals. The appropriate time for a corrective census would be after the deportations are complete. And yes, that means increasing the pace drastically.

The constitution requires a census every 10 years. It doesn't say that it can't be done more frequently.
Regardless. The 2020 census was rigged to give blue states more electoral votes and congressional seats. If you count illegals, they get even more.

Dem-outcome-based counting:
(US citizen) = 1
(illegal ) = 2
1+2=3

Always remember, some people are more equal than other people.

If I understand the article correctly, I believe the 2020 census lawsuit was dropped because Biden rescinded Trump's order. https://www.federaltimes.com/federal-oversight/congress/2021/04/04/lawsuits-over-how-2020-census-was-conducted-near-conclusions/

Good Luck with that.
It will only confirm that they got away with it.
But the co-conspirators in the media will NEVER recognize it
Just as they still contend that dimpled and hanging chads should have counted in the most liberal counties in Florida and that the Supreme Court actually picked Bush over Gore

It’s just common sense that census numbers involving illegal aliens should not be used for congressional redistricting purposes. The big current problem with getting an accurate census count for congressional redistricting purposes is that there are millions of illegal aliens ensconced throughout the USA who have been fraudulently claiming to be US citizens and census takers are not trained to uncover such fraudulent claims to US citizenship being made by illegal aliens.
A big, yet uncovered back story on the Biden “open borders” and “catch and release” programs supported by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats that encouraged greatly increased mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA, was to flood the Democrat run so-called “Sanctuary Cities” and other areas throughout the USA with mostly Third World origin poor and uneducated illegal aliens, where those millions of illegal aliens would be counted in the next US Census causing as many congressional districts as possible to be redistricting into those “Sanctuary Cities” and areas as possible, where leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat political candidates are bound to win the resulting elections in those new congressional districts thus giving the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats a permanent majority number of congressional seats in the US House of Representatives. No doubt the Democrats will be heading into the Federal Courts before activist Democrat Judges to get court orders requiring the Census Bureau to continue to count all illegal aliens and use those numbers relating to illegal aliens for congressional redistricting purposes.

The battle to keep the US a Representative Republic is unending. We owe Trump our thanks. Dirty little secret about our government is how few people it really represents.

#6: Turns out there were two issues concerning the census at play in 2019-20. First in 2019 was that President Trump wanted a question added to the questionnaire asking whether all of the residents being "sampled" were Ameican citizens. That one got tossed by the courts. The second one (see #14 above) was PDJT's s order expressly excluding the counting of illegals. That one wasn't heard at the USSC until the end of November, 2020, when it appeared that FJB would "win" the rigged election. The USSC sided with Trump, but the victory was phyrric -- and I'm sure the justices knew it -- because FJB's incoming administration would be collating the data and doing the apportionment. The rest, as they say, is history...

#6: An addendum to #15: That pyrrhic decision in late 2020 "in favor" of the out-going Trump administration might now bite the USSC in the butt if the left attempts to litigate it... As the President's solicitor general can simply state that a precedent was established by the *same* court in 2020... so why are they re-examining the issue now. Could be reason for optimism, but considering who is in the Oval Office now, I expect to see far different rationales uttered by these poseurs in black robes.

California will likely lose a number of Congressional seats. That would be WONDERFUL.

Census law dictates that the count must be conducted at least every ten years. Nothing is stopping them from doing it yearly if necessary. A quicker fix would be just to subtract 30 million from the hispanic population and a few million more from places like Little Mogadishu.

California has lost so much of its "U.S. citizen" population to other States, most notably Texas and Florida, that it's difficult to believe they shouldn't lose a bunch of House seats over it. Blue States will try to cheat, count on it.

Perhaps if it becomes widely known that if you are illegal and sign up in the census that will count as another infraction towards ICE Repatriation the Aliens will not be keen to stand and be counted.

Yipee! We knew the 2020 census' books were cooked years ago. Idaho has had huge numbers of West Coast people moving here (our freeways are jammed like LA) and we didn't get one more Congressman in the census. Idaho has only one Congressman.
The Left is really good at robbing, stealing and killing.
