Biden Orders Census Bureau to Include Illegal Immigrants in Apportionment

Census Bureau

President Joe Biden in his first day in office issued an executive order mandating the Census Bureau include illegal immigrants in its apportionment.

Former President Donald Trump sought to exclude aliens.

The secretary of commerce “shall report the tabulation of total population by State that reflects the whole number of persons whose usual residence was in each State as of the designated census date in section 141(a) of title 13, United States Code, without regard to immigration status,” the order states.

“In addition, the Secretary shall use tabulations of population reflecting the whole number of persons whose usual residence was in each State as of the census date, without regard to immigration status, in reports provided to the Governor and officers or public bodies having responsibility for legislative apportionment or districting of each State,” it added.

Apportionment is how the number of U.S. representatives is set; states with a higher population get more. Excluding illegal immigrants stoked fears that several states would lose seats, including California.

Trump through two executive orders directed executive agencies to give data on citizenship to the Census Bureau and the bureau to use the data to determine who is in the country illegally and then exclude them from the apportionment report. The orders were upheld as lawful by the Supreme Court.

The Census Bureau was supposed to hand in the report by Dec. 31, 2020, but missed the statutory deadline. The bureau soon after stopped complying with Trump’s orders. Bureau Director Steven Dillingham, a Trump appointee, resigned on Jan. 18.

Virtually all Democrats in Congress opposed Trump’s orders. Cheering Biden’s mandate, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) wrote on Wednesday: “The Trump admin’s efforts to exclude noncitizens from the census was both illegal and rooted in hate. I’m proud to see that @POTUS is acting decisively to reverse that decision and ensure that federal resources can be fairly and accurately distributed over the decade to come.”

Biden’s order claims that at no point in U.S. history “a person’s immigration status alone served as a basis for excluding that person from the total population count used in apportionment.”

Trump’s policy “broke from this long tradition,” the order added. “It aimed to produce a different apportionment base—one that would, to the maximum extent feasible, exclude persons who are not in a lawful immigration status. This policy conflicted with the principle of equal representation enshrined in our Constitution, census statutes, and historical tradition. The policy further required the Census Bureau to inappropriately rely on records related to immigration status that were likely to be incomplete and inaccurate.”

No deadline was outlined in the new order, and it’s still not clear when the bureau will have the apportionment data ready.

This is ridiculous! Illegal immigrants should be sent home right away. They have no rights in our country.

Next up is a Biden-implemented federal “Immigrant-help tax” to help the illegals get settled here in your community. Then a re-zoning of your neighborhood to allow some high-density “immigrant housing”. Followed by an “adjustment” to our Soc. Sec. payments in order to include the new 25 million aliens immediately eligible for our money. Also, special driver’s licenses for immigrants allowing them to forgo car insurance, while our “uninsured motorist” coverage will rise to compensate, of course. Local School taxes will rise greatly to allow for special immigrant classes and their free school lunches. What’s not to like?

A majority of U.S. unauthorized immigrants live in just six states – including California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Four are already in the Dimocratic column and I’m sure the Dims hope to secure Florida and Texas for all time.

Illegal Aliens are not citizens of the USA.
They should not be given benefits.
This is an abomination.

The Constitution was written for citizens of this nation. Illegals are not citizens. Therefore the Constitutional rights do not belong to them. They should not vote in our elections. They should not be represented in our legislatures. They should not even be here!

Well, “they” won’t be counted anyway, since JoeB is giving the illegals legal status. There won’t be any illegal aliens to be counted in the next census.

typical unlawful ideas from the democrates, and the supporters who voted for them are just as corrupt and unlawful – don’t deny it. Everything President Trump did to help this country is going to be tossed by the wayside bc the left (the satanic cult) is anti American

Democrats’ favorite activity: “cooking” the numbers. It works for Covid, it will work for the census. who needs real counts? They will probably end up letting Dominion do the census.

I will support new POTUS as he is now in office, but someone needs to slow his orders down & get Biden to address the most important issues facing America today. Hope that he is not going to micro manage every little thing cuz if he does he will not do well for this country.

Why would we have illegal immigrants included in USA census. They are not able to vote until becoming a citizen & I would assume a lot of these people go back home or move elsewhere. Census should only include American citizens. Trump admin and Covid trashed the census results this year also, so any data will not be accurate.

It is completely unfathomable how political apportionment can take place by including persons for whom it is legal to vote. What could illegal aliens contribute to drawing districts if they can’t vote in those districts? Only if one intended to have non citizens vote would this be an issue.

If you are going to disrespect an entire religion, at least get your spelling correct. It is devout, not devote. Biden, Pelosi & any other “catholic” that believes in abortion is not a devout catholic, regardless of what they or the media says. Stop trashing a whole religion because there are idiots in them. Protestants have hypocrites also. Obama was not a catholic & he also believed in abortion. What is your excuse for him?

I guess the Supreme court and its response nor the U.S. Constitution can be usurped by: President Biden and the entire Democrat Controlled Congress. Illegal now are legal. Voting by illegals are of course at the advantage by evil and the destruction of the entire voting system regardless of State sovereignty. Oops only 19 States are considered ” Democrat” Out of 50 States that leaves : 31 States listed as Republican? Here’s the problem: The States have their own Constitution, Legislatures. They are self ruled. The only think that will keep them in line is: $$$$$ Yep, The almight, not so Mighty Dollar. The Bankers ( FED) is and has been a member of the (NEW WORLD ORDER) for a long, long time then add the U.N.! On the Soil of the United States. Who, also have Diplomatic Immunity. mmmmm

Another typical and very wrong mandate. Essentially they are allocating congressional representation to people who are not legally allowed to vote while diluting the value of legal votes for others. Congressional allocation should logically only be based on legal voting populations. The left does this knowing that additional seats go to the leftist states who embrace illegal immigrants. After the 2010 census, California gained five congressional seats while more conservative states like mine lost seats. This is just one more way that Democrats help gain and maintain majorities in Congress, and it is simply wrong. In fact its dishonest (no surprise), but I have yet to meet an honest Democrat. For them all, the ends always justify the means.

All the comments that I just read are just rhetoric, they tell and explain what the problem is in our country, but do not express any solutions or course of action. The biggest obstacle we face is MSM, who are right now calling for the main cable and satellite providers to remove NEWSMAX, OAN and FOXNEWS,for reporting false news, how ironic is that? So far the providers are resisting. I don’t have a solution right now, but we know who the enemy is, and need to focus on how to neutralize them. . .

Representation in Congress is supposed to be of U.S. citizens of their State of residence, not of everyone just residing there, non-citizens and I assume untaxed Native Americans are not counted to this day. This is another wink at the laws by crooked politicians to gain undeserved and illegal seats in Congress.

How can Biden enshrine himself in the Constitution while stating that he’s going to tear it apart? I believe Joe stated “No amendment is absolute!”
Actually, Joe, I believe inalienable means that it is absolute. Just throw out that pesky bill of rights.

Why would non-citizens be included in a census that is used to represent U.S. citizens? The only reason is manipulation of districts and the types of voters who would put the Democrat scum in office.

The Republicans need to do what the Dems did for the last 4 years–sue about each executive order. Since the Supreme Court already declared President Trump’s original executive order to exclude illegal immigrants as constitutional, would the supreme court reverse it’s own ruling?

This is chapter 12 of the Marxist playbook authored by O’Biden, O’Bama, O’Clinton and the rest of the socialist rummies. They want the leftist states like California to be the beneficiaries of more population growth so that they can put more of their political hacks in place to care for and pay for the illegals immigrants. I can’t imagine this growth in numbers won’t be filled with fraudulent census data. When the country is dealing with inflated population numbers, there are states whose representation will be skewed because of inflated census information.
