Does it matter whether your’re a citizen or resident of USA in 2020? Yes, it  matters mightily.
You should care about the question of citizenship on the upcoming 2020 Census. We need an honest count of residents compared to citizens.  If we don’t ask — we don’t know.
Organizations and state governments which encourage more population, e.g., California by its generous welfare system and Sanctuary Cities ,  care mightily. CA wants a larger population precisely because more population means more power in Congress.  That’s because of how our the 435 congressional representatives are divided among the USA states.
Seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states by total population.
Since ‘residents’ are counted as part of the total population that means that illegal aliens who are present at the time of the census are counted in the apportionment process.
Here’s a hypothetical:  Imagine that suddenly — overnight – the populations of California (39 million) and Texas (29 million) doubled due to an influx of millions of illegals coming over the southern border into Texas and California. Were that unlikely hypothetical to occur, both CA and Texas would increase the number of representatives for each state. The total number of representatives is set at 435. Some states would lose representatives and some states — such as CA and Texas — would gain representatives. More representative equates to more political power.
What is a citizen? In 1787, the Constitution defined citizenship as open to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.â€
What’s a population census? A population census is the total process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analysing and publishing or otherwise disseminating demographic, economic and social data pertaining, at a specified time, to all persons in a country or in a well delimited part of a country.Sep 25, 20.
Clearly — it matters mightily how many ‘illegal aliens’ are currently in the USA as of 2020. For years politicians fume about the”millions in the shadows’. Well, let’s count them.
And then let’s require that our congressional representatives forge immigration policies in 2020 that make sense to We the People.
It’s time to change the Flores Agreement which limits the number of days children can be held from 21 to 100 days. The ‘catch and release’ policy implemented by President Obama must cease.
Yes it mightily matters how many citizens are in the USA as of 2020. It’s all about freedom. Â
Trump says 7/11/19 that he won’t back down, that he will use existing government information to determine how many citizens there are in the USA.
