California pays way more taxes than they get back from Washington. They should get a fair count. Along with #GOPTaxScam SALT provision, this proves CA needs to clear out Red State supporting members of Congress.

That said, deliberate sabotage is just the tip of the iceberg. Each Census becomes more complex. It must be led by professionals who respect facts. That is unlikely to happen under this incompetent gang. The 2020 Census Report is headed to Fiction section. 2/

This is good! U.S. Citizens pay the tax bill; the public has a right to know how many others are contributing to federal taxes. It’s responsible government transparency and reporting; it allows for the public to hold their elected officials accountable.

*I am progressive and think legal immigration should be more accessible* but can someone talk to me about this? The argument is that undoc residents won’t receive aid and don’t pay taxes so this would only count doc’d citizens. . . Please educate me on the problem

I can only speak to the statement that the undoc people ‘don’t pay taxes’... in truth, this is not valid. Undoc workers pay into systems they will NEVER be able to glean benefits from. Most pay state/fed/SSN/ etc yet will NOT be able to collect Medicare/Medicaid/unemployment.
