Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If the census was just to determine house and electoral vote distribution, I would say go for it! The states with higher number of non-citizens are normally represented by Republicans. If they want to decrease their power, great!
However, the census is also used for funding allocation for things that help noncitizens. Not counting them would screw up that.
They don't want to help noncitizens at all. He'll they don't want to help anyone but themselves. Prosperity doctrine done fucked them up.
Noncitizens pay taxes, too.
What was that thing people shouted a long time ago? No taxation without representation?
Maybe they should get more substantial representation…?
Oh, they got that quote all screwed up. It should say: “No! Taxation without representation!”
It’s just the opposite, actually. Most migrants are bused to sanctuary cities in Democratic states. They increase representation in the House for Democrats.
"Most migrants" or just the ones people hear about?
If you’re talking about illegal migrants, they have good reason to get out of red states.

Speaking of Texas, they have bused over 100k migrants to Democratic sanctuary cities over the last year .

Lol, they will count each and every illegal immigrant in their red states and county's without issue or fuss, and they will turn around use their legal weight to contest the coint of each and every minority with a funny sounding name in blue states, demanding they be thoroughly investigated.
