Do you think that only citizens should be counted in the census
On the census there's no question that asks if a person is a citizen or even legal immigrant

The Census is supposed to control how much money will be given for schools, and social services. If a person is an illegal immigrant, and if there were a question regarding citizenship on the census, the illegal immigrant would dodge the census, forcing his or her state to operate schools and social services without sufficient federal funds.
It's a very serious problem. People who think they will be deported WILL hide. Unless we give them the option to register in the census, the local schools WILL crash, and social services won't have enough money to pay all the welfare and food stamps the illegal immigrants are using.
On the other hand, illegal immigrants are raping the system.
So, while American citizens would definitely suffer in the short term by a citizenship question on the census, so would those same illegal immigrants, and if they are not sitting back on their fat illegal rear ends collecting welfare and food stamps and have to suffer and work twice as hard, maybe they will all move to Canada. Just saying. Check out these welfare stats: (If you scroll down quite a way you go directly to the graph):

@Mountainlady16 While I agree in the spirit of not wishing to burden our struggling schools with the additional expense of illegal immigrants, I can't agree with the idea of denying school to any child who will NOT be leaving anytime soon because his or her parents are breaking the law. This is a very complex (and painful) problem.
