Did Trump corrupt the Census process? Of course he did

After all, Trump corrupts everything.

With the Census he engaged in unprecedented interference to achieve GOP advantage through the Census process when the process is supposed to be beyond politics.

Deplorable!

Illegals should not be counted in the numbers used in apportioning state representatives.
If that’s how you feel, you should work to change the Constitution, which REQUIRES them to be counted. Not corruptly influence the process to “balance out” the advantage you think this gives to states that are more attractive for people to live in.

Nope.

The constitution does not specify. It should. I don't think the founding fathers ever thought that we would have a president that invited every Tom, Dick and illegal to invade our country.
What the Constitution says:

"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."

There is no president who has "invited" anyone to "invade our country," unless you count Trump encouraging Russian cyberattacks. But of course in the early days of the American Republic even the Federalist Party leaders who wanted to discourage immigration allowed people to immigrate without restriction unless they were personally deemed a danger to the United States by the President.

It doesn't. It says that ALL free persons ... citizens and aliens alike ... are to be counted when apportioning seats in the House and the Electoral College.

illegals are NOT "free persons" and if found deported
or at least should be, but, dems want to lock up citizen
that's as close to Hitler as it can get here

“Free persons”=those who are not slaves. You may want them to be slaves but they aren’t.
