In losing legal battles over census, Trump may win political war

- The Trump administration has few realistic options to get a citizenship question onto next year’s census, but by keeping the issue in the public eye it could still trigger an undercount of residents in Democratic-leaning areas, legal and political experts told Reuters.

The U.S. Constitution requires the government to count all residents - whatever their legal status - every 10 years. The information collected becomes the basis for voting maps and distributing some $800 billion in federal funds each year.

However, the high court left open the possibility that the administration could offer a plausible rationale. Department of Justice lawyers said on Friday that they were exploring other explanations. Trump also said he may try to force it into the survey through an executive order.

You concede it's Democrats who will be impacted by illegals not voting at least.

GOP, the party of doom. Not enough white guys to keep it going so cheating is the plan of the day.

They should advertise at every US Embassy that the people in those countries are welcome to fill out a US Census form.

This little sentence says it all. It’s exactly why the Dems do not want the question on the census. It also tells us exactly why the Reps do. It is basically stating that they are all for letting non citizens vote in our elections:

Trump is a schemer.. Americans are soo draft. They r been conned left,centre and f...cked

Majority of Americans want the question on the census. It wouldn't be needed if we did not have 20 million foreigners living illegally in the U.S.

LOL! No. He's not.

What's the problem about declaring citizenship? It's census, not your fake surveys
