Currently, it forces you to admit that people live in regions that vote Democratic, and that when their homes catch fire, you are supposed to send aid and things, a useless gesture for people who do not rate your presidential performance very highly.
petridishes Non-citizenship not be counted in the census.
petridishes Wrong. It appears the is confused how having foreigners claim they are legal citizens thereby creating an inaccurate census is a 'bad thing' Here's a point of reference they can understand: Poof! I'm a journalist now without any credentials or formal training.

petridishes Washington Post is confused as to what real news is every day
petridishes Wrong again. Taxpayers already spend 10's of billions a year supporting illegals and it's time to shut some of it down. If places want to become sanctuaries then it's on their citizens to foot the bill.

petridishes This picture is just perfect. WaPo NYT.
