The Constitution saycount people, not citizens. Ask8ng the question reduces participation by non citizens and Hispanic citizens. Counts are used to set apportionment and voting power. Unless you already know al this, you're too ignorant to answer the question

@GoldenWorm But non citizens should not have a vote

@MrBrownstone guess what, they don't vote. They do use water, electricity and roads.

@GoldenWorm “the president [i]shall[/i] transmit to the Congress a statement showing the whole number of[i] persons[/i] in each State”
Pretty cut and dry.

@GoldenWorm Then why use them for voting power?

@MrBrownstone I'll assume you're just not getting it rather than being an ass. 1. Constitution says so. 2. Apportion for the population, govern for the population.

Since non citizens are over represented on cities vs rural, apportioning via citizen means you're taking political power from cities and giving it disproportionslly to rocks and trees in rural areas.

I’d add that even now most rural areas are in essence subsidized by the economic activity of the bigger cities in their states or by the Federal government.

If right wingers were actually “conservative” they’d adopt a market based approach and let the rural areas fail. @GoldenWorm

@MrBrownstone Because the fucking constitution says so lmao. Rightoids smh

Don’t like it? Amend the constitution instead of trying to undermine the census.

@QuixoticSoul Same with gun laws ass wipe

@MrBrownstone Yes, same with the gun laws. Just because there are some goofy leftoids out there, doesn’t make you any less retarded.

Come to think of it, doubly so, because you love strict constructionism so much 😂
