Can someone explain their point on this? Is it just deflection?

1) It's blatantly goes against the wording of the Constitution

2) The Census form doesn't have a citizenship question so how the hell do they plan to determine who is an undocumented immigrant?

It's unconstitutional only if the Supreme Court says so, and they're eyeing flipping a seat when RBG leaves. -- nm - Max Jul 21, 12:07
They're collecting other info (driver's license data) from the states to help them do it. It may backfire, though -- (edited) - TWuG Jul 21, 11:57 2
- Only count 3/5 of every one! -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 12:07 1
  - It's a bit of a change for the racists, as they wanted to count enslaved people fully, but the northern colonies balked, didnt - TWuG Jul 21, 12:11
Undocumented immigrants tend to cluster in cities. If you don’t count them more representation goes to rural areas. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 11:54 6
- but how do you not count them ? the census doesn't differentiate them in any way, right? -- nm - decline Jul 21, 11:55 5
  - They're trying to discourage undocumented people from filling out the census. Scare tactic. -- nm - Inigo Jul 21, 12:06 1

  - You asked why not whether it was legal. - spamlet Jul 21, 11:58
  - Partly, this announcement is also aimed at putting fear of the census into certain communities which will lead to undercounts -- nm - TWuG Jul 21, 11:58 1
