Census and voting rights are two different things. The constitution is on CA side.

Could you please point out where it reads in the constitution that non-citizens can vote in this country?

I'm having a hard time finding that part.

The census has nothing to do with voting rights.

 

[Silent Warrior]

Nope, but the number of seats in the house is determined by population. So, how many seats will they lose?

It is used to determine seats in the House, and many other things.

California will lose big under Trump. Makes me smile.

But it does have everything with how your vote counts, right?

Let's see how California tries to weasel out of this one.

Why is it not valid? Oh, I see. ICE might take the info and come hunting for them. So illegals will either lie or hide from the census taker, making the census less accurate than it could have been.

The census does count the population to develop voting district boundaries and the number of reps to D.C. and electoral college votes allocated, but that part (the E.C.) hasn't been changed since the 30's if I remember correctly.
Rather than asking if someone is here legally, why couldn't they ask "are you eligible to vote?" There are many people here legally who are not citizens and there are citizens who can't vote due to prior felony convictions. So that question doesn't mean you're here illegally and everyone should be able to answer it truthfully, shouldn't they?
Or they could have a separate schedule without names that simply checks a yes or no for every citizen 18 or older without specifying the address.

yes. But the census helps determine EC votes and House members
Probably why Cali is pissing in their depends

They'd lose 3 or 4 seats.

It's a CRIME to lie on the census, so everyone will obey. Gun laws teach us that.

Because citizen children, who should be counted, aren't eligible.

They'd lose 3 or 4 seats.

How do you figure that? The 11,000,000 figure they keep throwing out for the last 20 years?

California, supposedly, has about 2.4 million illegal aliens.
About 6% of their population. 6% of their 53 house seats is 3.

[boedicca]

If asking about citizenship was good enough for Bill Clinton in 2000, it's perfectly fine for Trump to include it now.

Just sayin'.

 

[tigerred59]

Here we go again, yet another gotdamned debate about hispanics....I wish liberals would spend more time champion for all people in the party besides fuckin illegals!!

Why should they be counted in the first place? The census is supposed to be a representation of how many citizens there are in this country.

Of course there is one reason why the left doesn't want them counted: It will give support to Trump's statement that 5 million illegals voted for Hillary.
