[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And now the president wants to break the law for the 2030 census to further consolidate white power.[/quote]

It'd be absurd to count illegal aliens in the census.  Trump just wants to make things right. [/quote]

By breaking the law?  You guys sure are suckers.[/quote]

The law doesn't say to count illegals.  A bunch of Ivy League judges decided to take words literally for once when we all know those words were never drafted with the intention of counting illegals.  Your legal positivism is noted, though.

Regardless of what that court says, do you think illegal aliens should be counted?  Don't hide. [/quote]

The law says "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.1 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. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three."

It says "persons" not "citizens" - citizens is a subset of persons.  Persons includes everyone, not just citizens.[/quote]
