Trump calls for a new census to exclude undocumented immigrants
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.
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.
