President Donald Trump on Thursday said he was ordering a "new and highly accurate CENSUS," saying it will be based on the "information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024." "People who are in our country illegally will NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS," he wrote in the Truth Social post announcing the move. The census is a constitutionally mandated count of every person in the United States every 10 years, which was last conducted in 2020. A full census has never been conducted mid-decade in this manner, nor has one ever excluded noncitizens from the count.
The Buffoon tried this in 2020 it was ultimately shot down by the Supreme Court largely on procedural grounds. www.scotusblog.com
Conducting a census before the midterms is problematic in that the Census Act requires the proposed questions be submitted to Congress two years before the census date. www.census.gov
Excluding noncitizens contravenes the Fourteenth Amendment Section 2 first sentence.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.constitution.congress.gov
