J.D. Vance: Blue States Have Already Maxed Out Advantage With Gerrymandering, Counting Illegals In Census – RealClear

Vance: "If California has crazy gerrymanders, Illinois has crazy gerrymanders, New York has crazy gerrymanders, what it does is, it actually suppresses the will of the people in states like Indiana."

Redo the census to eliminate non citizens from being counted. They are entitled to no social services.

They can’t. The Constitution requires the census to count ALL “persons” not just citizens. It was a strong move by Trump to “say” he’s going to do it but it was all political show for the less informed to either get excited about or get upset over. You would need SCOTUS to change the definition of “persons” which would have massive implications. Highly doubtful the justices are looking to open that can of worms. Remember, Roberts smacked down Trumps attempt to even ask a citizenship question during the last census.

Time to re-join us on planet earth.

Right. Maybe we count the criminal illegal aliens as 1/5 of a person. Heck, I’d compromise with them counting as 3/5 of a person. Pretty sure your absolute constitutional certainty is on shaky ground.

That would be a smart argument. You should definitely make that argument as to why it should be constitutional. lol
