A full census has never been conducted mid-decade in this manner, nor has one ever excluded noncitizens from the count.

Isn't not counting the non-citizens going to rip the hell out of many Red districts?
I know it will this one.

That all depends with how the Trump admin tallies the results.

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.

Illegal aliens are not people, they're sub-humans.
Ask any Republican if you don't believe me.

Trump will just make up questions and put out a poll through his Truth Social account and just take those results. Saves bigly.
