Alert: Supreme Court Justices Signal Support for Trump’s Citizenship Question

With the 2020 Census right around the corner, the Democrats have been fighting to prevent the citizenship question from the questionnaire. Their excuse is everyone living in the USA MUST be counted, and asking of ones citizenship will prevent those here illegally from participating. However, what they aren’t telling the American people is they want the illegals counted because it gives them more seats in Congress. Each seat in the House is appointed from the population of that state. So, the more illegals they can get here, the more Democrat seats in Congress.

Until 1950, the citizen question was asked in the census. Mandated as part of the Constitution, the US Census has been taken the beginning of each new decade. Its purpose is to count all people living in the United States. This is done to record basic information such as age, sex, and race. The census also ensures that each community gets the right number of representatives in government. Because representation is based on population, an up-to-date tally is essential

While the data collected in the census is relevant, it has also become a tool for those who would try to sway those numbers in their favor.

Decennial U.S. Census figures are based on actual counts of persons living in U.S. residential structures. They include citizens, non-citizen legal residents, non-citizen long-term visitors, and undocumented immigrants. However, the Census Bureau bases its decision about whom to count on the concept of a usual residence.

So, if the law states that all people are to be counted, why the protest to learn who is a citizen? How is asking someone if they are a citizen racist? I guess it falls into the same category as demanding a photo ID to vote.

In an 80-minute argument on Tuesday that was both technical and combative, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh directed nearly all of their questions to the lawyers challenging the decision to ask about citizenship. Kavanaugh said Congress gave the Commerce Secretary “huge discretion” to decide what to ask on the census.

However, opponents claim a citizenship question could result in a census undercount in areas with large non-citizen populations. They go on to say it could shift congressional districts and federal funds away from those communities.

As the years go by, the American people have been denied to know just how many illegal aliens live in our country. The estimates run from 10 to 20 million. Unfortunately, those numbers are more than likely MUCH higher.

Whenever the Democrats are challenged to build the wall along our southern border and tighten our immigration laws, they state those here illegally are helping our economy. However, is that true? Below you will see a breakdown between money received in taxes vs. money paid in benefits.

With the cost to the American taxpayer millions of illegal aliens bring each year, it’s time to learn how many are here. It’s time conservatives take the narrative from the Democrats when it comes to illegal immigration. If Democrats truly want those here illegally to come out of the shadows, then it’s time to count them properly.
