Trump Orders New Census Excluding Noncitizens

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has directed the Department of Commerce to begin work on a new census that excludes noncitizens, likely setting up more legal challenges against his administration.

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump stated on Truth Social. “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president added.

If implemented, Trump’s more accurate census would likely reshape congressional representation across the United States, with Democrats potentially losing dozens of seats.

This is exactly the way it should be
@missyann That's NOT what the Constitution says, but when have tRumpsters let themselves be constrained by the Constitution🤣😂

Article I, Section 2, Clause 3: no mention of citizenship
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.

Modified slightly by the 14th Amendment Sec 2
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.

counting the whole number of persons in each State
Again, no restriction to citizens. But, as I said, when have tRumpsters let themselves be constrained by the Constitution🤣😂

@ElwoodBlues So dumping 25,000,000 illegal aliens in the United States is Constitutional, eh?
@sunsporter1649 Where in the world did you get that number?? And, without a due process court proceeding for each case, how can you determine whether or not a person is "illegal"???

@sunsporter1649 I get it, the Constitution is a joke to you tRump cultists. SAD!!

@ElwoodBlues We get it, you want people who supposedly can not vote to be counted in the number of people to be elected to public office, right?
@sunsporter1649 It's not a question of what I want; it's a question of what the Constitution requires!!

@ElwoodBlues Kinda like your support of the 2nd Amendment, right?
@sunsporter1649 EXACTLY!!!
I'm so glad you are FINALLY catching on!!!

Note: although the gun lobby may have kept you in the dark about this, the 2nd Amendment in no way rules out gun licensing & registration, and I encourage every state to adopt these completely Constitutional practices!!

Another thing the gun lobby probably hid from you; firearms have been the leading cause of death for US children and teens since 2020, representing 19% of all deaths for children 18 years and younger in 2021.

In the US we have FAR AND AWAY the HIGHEST gun homicide rate in the developed world!!!

The approach of fighting guns with more guns is FAILING!!!

@ElwoodBlues You mean over 13,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws are not enuf for you? How ‘bout we enforce the laws already on the books?
@sunsporter1649 National gun registration and national gun licensing -- they are Constitutional and they ar NOT in the laws yet. What are honest citizens afraid of???

@ElwoodBlues And how do you intend to enforce national gun legislation, the same way you enforced the borders?

@sunsporter1649 Oh no... the law abiding citizens are trying to wiggle their way out of following the law again. Funny how that works.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@sunsporter1649 YOU and your cartoonist are the only ones talking about gun confiscation, ijit!! Licensing and registration can be enforced at point of sale, ijit!!

UPDATE




Your ignorance is breathtaking, sunstroke!!!
Nope. There is no national gun licensing or registration law. I thought even ijits like you would know that, ijit!!

@ElwoodBlues You mean that of the over 13,000 Federal, State, and local gun laws there are no requirements for purchase screening oir registration?
