U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a social media post on Thursday that he has directed the Department of Commerce to begin work on a new U.S. census that excludes undocumented immigrants from the population count.

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS,” the president added.

Trump’s proposal marks a dramatic shift from longstanding census practices. The survey has historically counted all residents regardless of immigration status.

The announcement also comes amid growing pressure from the White House for Republican-led states to redraw congressional maps in a way that could strengthen the GOP going into the 2026 midterms.

Along with the efforts of the gerrymandering charge and like everything else with Trump, its a pretext only to retain power.

I predicted that Trump and his cronies have zero intention of giving up power.

This is part of that effort.

The breakdown of the USA as a cohesive political entity is beginning.
 
Florida and Texas will be hit the hardest as a % of their population.

You seem to be under the impression they intend to do any of this accurately...

It will be skewed massively for blue states because illegal immigration is a pretext only.

More attempts to cement permanent Republican rule.
 

U.S. Constitution – Article I, Section 2, Clause 3


"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States... according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons... excluding Indians not taxed.
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."


Reapportionment Act of 1929:
Section 2a(a):
"(a) Statement by President to Congress
On the first day, or within one week thereafter, of the first regular session of the Eighty-second Congress and of each fifth Congress thereafter, the President shall transmit to the Congress a statement showing the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed, as ascertained under the decennial census of the population, and the number of Representatives to which each State would be entitled under an apportionment of the then existing number of Representatives by the method known as the method of equal proportions, no State to receive less than one Member."


It hasn't been 10 years since the last one.

Due to the massive number of illegals allowed in the country over the past decade I really have no problem with an off year census.

You've never seen an idiotic fascist attempt at staying in power you didn't like.

J6 was orgasmic for you.

I mean, eventually Trump will have to give up power. ****er eats like what R's think Welfare Queens eat like, and he isn't getting any younger.
The big question is, will MAGA agree on who fills the vacuum on the day that DJT dies? Or will they implode over infighting over who gets to keep the cult?

For everything above the table there are ten underneath with this prick.

We need to remember he is a CONVICTED rapist/fraud. Truth is alien to his DNA

That.

It's the Republican party. Remember Nixon. God until he wasn't.

By law any census right now has to count the total number of persons. This means that immigrants get counted.

It would be good to know the number of illegals in each state. Doing that would make the allocation of electors more accurate or would validate the current allocation.

Yeah. You people are all “originalists” until a modern problem you don’t like which was unanticipated by 18th Century aristocrats shows up.
 
The Dems will fight tooth and nail to keep illegal aliens counted. After all, they went to such great lengths to get those people INTO the country.
 
This is nothing but the Trump administration attempting to rig the midterm elections by claiming, ironically, that things are rigged already because of immigrants.

Your hatred of the Constitution is noted.
 
Clause 2 of section 2 of the 14th Amendment addresses the issue of states excluding people from the count for representation. In that clause it is clear that citizenship is a criteria by which someone could be excluded. The courts, thus far, have not addressed this issue so forcing a decision makes sense.
