What? You're saying that up until now illegal and legal immigrants were added to the electoral weight of a state (but not allowed to vote)?
The attempt to include citizenship in the us census questionnaire is a very clever move by Republicans. It will deter participation by illegals who mostly live in left leaning states, thus reducing their electoral impact determined by population counts as part of the census.

Yes, I believe that is how it has worked. I'm a little bit suspicious of the idea that illegals immigrants where happy to participate in high numbers however. They certainly won't this year...

pretty absurd that there is opposition to this Q. Like voter ID. You either want a system with integrity or you don't.

Agreed. I think you have to be totally delusional, extremely partisan (see above), or someone who pays no taxes to support that question's exclusion from the census questionnaire. Sure Honduras has a lot murders but...it ain't Syria or Rwanda in '94.

We don't even need to use a word like scheming with it's negative connotations. Seems like he's simply attempting to benefit his constituents, particularly those who voted for him!
