Obviously they are doing this to villify immigrants and discourage participation in the census, not because they actually care about who counts for the census. Citizenship requirements are intended to scare people who are citizens but often assumed to be non-citizens from participating along with the non-citizens.
If the census was just to determine house and electoral vote distribution, I would say go for it! The states with higher number of non-citizens are normally represented by Republicans. If they want to decrease their power, great!
However, the census is also used for funding allocation for things that help noncitizens. Not counting them would screw up that.
Lol, they will count each and every illegal immigrant in their red states and county’s without issue or fuss, and they will turn around use their legal weight to contest the coint of each and every minority with a funny sounding name in blue states, demanding they be thoroughly investigated.
It’s just the opposite, actually. Most migrants are bused to sanctuary cities in Democratic states. They increase representation in the House for Democrats.
