lol idek if we still do a census.
last time we tried president dumbass had it all but canceled
No, President Dumbass definitely wants a census. The census explicitly needs to count all residents, but he wants to add questions about citizenship to it specifically so he (and Stephen Miller) can have a list of non-citizen residents to harass.
If they get their way, by the time the census after that one is taken, there won’t be any non-citizen residents to count anymore.
They don’t care about having a list of non-citizens to harass – they just do that based on skin color.
What they care about is having a mechanism to force an undercount in blue states, so they can get red states further disproportionate power in the House and electoral college.
The Census is basically more mandatory in the US constitution than a lot of other things people might think are more important.
