President Trump departs a July 2019 press conference on the census with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in the White House Rose Garden.President Trump departs a July 2019 press conference on the census with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in the White House Rose Garden.
The White House has not provided any additional details and has not yet released the text of the memorandum, but in a written statement, a White House official who spoke on background said the"action will clarify that illegal aliens are not to be included for the purpose of apportionment of Representatives following the 2020 Census."
But the move by the president, who does not have final authority over the census, is more likely to spur legal challenges and political spectacle in the last months before this year's presidential election than a transformation of the once-a-decade head count. Since the first U.S. census in 1790, both U.S. citizens and noncitizens — regardless of immigration status — have been included in the country's official population counts.
Probably will delay. No redistribution of seats, money, for a lot of years. Obviously Trump wins. Pitiful how often he does by doing so little. Leftists really aren't the brightest among us.
Illegal immigrants. Go sneak into Belize or Mexico or Honduras and try to get counted in their census and report back how that goes.
Only doing what ever he thinks could possibly work for him. He'll do anything to try and change the laws in his favour! 🍊🤡
Again trying to trash the constitution
ReignOfApril He thinks the POTUS title insures that he's large, in charge and the czar of the USA. He wants our schools to open..well...time for him to be taught a few lessons...a few hard, serious lessons. His homework can't be completed at the Resolute desk.
Spoiler Alert: trump WON'T be the Preznit nomore when the 2020 Census Count COUNTS! 😁 🥳🍾🎀🎁🎉🎊🥂
illegals should NOT be counted in the census. There should be no more additional congressional seats allowed for people living in our country illegally. I’m with Trump on this one. God for bid, Kamala becomes the VP choice.
Hey, NPR, Your use of 'unauthorized' instead of 'illegal' was missed by your proofreader. If you want to avoid being called 'fake news', you should probably post a correction (as any reputable news organization is expected to do). Facts matter.
NPR- you used to be a believable source of news. For a while now you are only a democratic rag
Good!
VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt bc it does
God placed Trump in the White House to save America, to stop the Soros Machine! Soros admitted in 2014 in Germany’s BILD newspaper that he was going to destroy America, bring in Marxism! He owns Target!! We’re feeding his bank account! Other countries kicked him out!!!
The democrats have had this agenda to steal votes by allowing illegals to vote! That’s the only way they can stay in office for eons! Plus good ole Soros owned the programmable voting machines. They manipulated the machines in their favor!! We’d never get rid of PELOSI!
Damned right! They are illegals! Do you know illegal means crime? An invasion of foreigners of our country that cost tax payers over $200 billion a year
It won't get through the courts until the 2030 census. Sorry.
'unauthorized' = illegal
Good...and the citizenship question should be on the census
Oh, no! That Trump is also probably not going to let dead people vote for DemocRats anymore.
Again, like usual, there’s this thing called the constitution. Trump continues to toss out BS to steer the media and others on wild goose chases to detract from his failings. The language is clear on the census count. To be clear. He can’t.
That is Unconstitutional Prez law & order. Maybe someone can read it to you. The FF explicitly stated “persons”, NOT “citizens”.
Spur 🤣
Back to court..,.
'No taxation without representation.' Undocumented or not, as long as a resident pays even one cent in sales/property/income tax, then they have the Constitutional right to be counted for Congressional districting through the US Census. The Founding Fathers predicted Trump.
Worth less than the paper it’s written on
Trump thinks he emperor when in fact he's the jester.
YESSSS.....it's about time !!! Keep them off the census.
Absolutely they should not count
Annnd that would be unconstitutional. I’m sure every conservative in the country will demand the President resign immediately.
Stop crying.
I hope the people of the United States are keeping up all of these unconstitutional tactics. It's time I believe for a national protest of some kind. With the pandemic it's impossible for a personal approach, but a virtual one might work.
If no one was asked if they were illegal immigrants; how will he know who's legal?
This is your Democrat hat talking. There is no way even you can truly believe any unauthorized individuals in the US should have any impact on the census and congress
YoursINegritude Racism at work in Trumplandia.
“A memorandum?”
Here's a great big 'so what?' I worked on the 1990 census. Until this year I haven't even seen a census form since. That would indicate that my family and I have not been counted in 20 years. There was a census in 2000 & 2010 and I saw no census form and no census takers.
Tourists and diplomats are also excluded
WE ALREADY WENT TO COURT OVER THIS AND HE LOST.
They would stop the 'illegal' count if they were RUSSIANS!!!
This used to stand for 'National Public Radio.' Now it stands for 'NATIONAL PROPAGANDA RADIO.' They have an agenda...
“Unauthorized Immigrants?” You mean “Illegal Aliens” as defined by U.S Code of Law.
Unconstitutional. Period. Full stop.
He realDonaldTrump is THE NATIONAL DIVIDER! He sucks! BlueWave2020 Biden2020ToSaveAmerica
Y'all need to READ the Constitution - realdonaldtrump included!
Am I the only one who thinks that this isn't even possible since the Census does not ask citizenship or immigration status? Sure Trump may order it but the data doesn't exist to enforce it. And that's before the unconstitutional nature of the order is even considered.
Illegal immigrants
Since nothing in the census identifies citizens, just how does that work!? This is why we taught to have that question removed! Any congress member knows this just hurts them!
Keep going Mr President!!! You got this!! trump2020
Why should you get our taxpayer dollar when you don’t support the American worker?
Illegal aliens
They’re NOT citizens. They do not get representation.
He really doesn't connect the dots
They Count because they are in our hospitals they use our library’s We will lose out if they are not counted It’s ignorance
Hang on, non citizens would include themselves in the census but not be confronted of their illegality? How the hell does that happen?
ignore the dementia clown
Hasn’t SCOTUS already made clear this is unconstitutional?
We have been over this. Census counts persons, not citizens. Another abuse of power.
Remember the SCOTUS ruling on the Obama executive order & Trump executive order on DACA? Good luck rescinding this Trump order. The precedent is set now. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it. Justice Thomas was correct in his dissent. NinaTotenberg haha!
So what if Trump is sued? Nancy Pelosi sues Trump over EVERYTHING, but he keeps winning big at the Supreme Court.
Shouldn’t he be a little more concerned with the global pandemic? Since he obviously has no idea wtf he’s talking about. Like he should just get “IM A RACIST” tattooed on his forehead.
Why is it so hard to use the proper term, ILLEGAL? They aren't 'unauthorized'.
Undocumented immigrants received no stimulus checks, can’t collect unemployment and have no PTO or ability to work from home. Without Undocumented workers America is collapsed. They are more American than these grifters and ghouls in congress who loot the people and launder money
This is completely unconstitutional as the law makes no distinction between citizens and non-citizens for purposes of apportionment. In fact the Constitution went out of it's way to include non-citizens such as slaves and Indians in the tally.
Wow a President that is knowledgeable to not only know the immigration laws but will enforce them! How refreshing
More distraction from the Pandemic.
... unauthorized immigrants to be excluded from census numbers used *to divide seats in Congress*. Are Democrats now for Gerrymandering?
pmagnuson77 Wasting more of our tax dollars on a racist stunt to make his dwindling base happy...
Racist does racist action again. Almost as if there is a clear pattern of bias and bigotry laid out for the people to gather evidence to call him a racist. Unless it’s America and news organization bend over backwards to avoid calling it what it is.
Immigrants, legal or not, contribute vastly more to this country then the flyover Americans. I say count em twice!
Likely to spur challenges because IT IS PLAINLY AGAINST THE LANGUAGE IN OUR CONSTITUTION
Shouldn't they just ignore this.
Illegal immigrants cannot vote in our elections and should not have an indirect or direct effect on the process that determines America’s Congressional districts. By this executive order, President Trump is ensuring American citizens receive proper representation in Congress.
SCOTUS gave this fool the blueprint on how to write executive orders that would be upheld. He gave it away during his Chris Wallace interview.
President Trump understands the harm posed by giving congressional representation and political influence to illegal aliens – people who have blatantly disregarded our laws. Allowing this to happen would be a perversion of our democratic principles and our Republic.
So will Melania be excluded then?
It’s unconstitutional & he lost that argument against SCOTUS already. Does he think he won’t get slammed for blatantly ignoring SCOTUS ruling? On another note, what’s he trying to cover up?
He can't do that, can he...
If the citizenship question was not allowed by the court, & there is no citizenship determining question on the census, & they use census count for representation determination, then the whole asinine thing is illegal and unconstitutional. Trump is pandering to his racist base.
That's... Kinda protecting undocumented immigrants on a large scale. Odd for Trump
You spelled IllegaImmigrants wrong
Thank you!! Get the ILLEGALS OUT!
When is congress going to do something about Barr and thump and the rest of the corrupt cronies.
Illegal aliens
supports open borders & Globalism
Democrats and their propaganda arm NPR want to reinstitute the 3/5th compromise with foriegn nationals being their new slaves.
RacismDog BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
No shit it’s clearly unconstitutional
This is blatantly unconstitutional and impossible to enforce.
Donald Trump’s footprint has always been a disaster but now it’s faster and more dangerous than ever
The response from Congress to this illegal memo: 'No, but fuck you for asking.'
Illegal immigrants are illegal and shouldn’t be counted for anything.
More grand standing for his base. It’s the next shiny thing to distract for all the other things not getting done. He just inundates the airways with crap and his base thinks he’s doing something.
He plays by his own rules...not the rules of the Constitution.
The traitor can file his memorandum in the circular file. The Constitution defines who is counted in the Census.
Surprised he doesn’t also proclaim all black and brown persons to be counted as 3/5 of a person. Such a hateful person he is
Once again realDonaldTrump is sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong. You can have all the arguments you want about who should be counted and why but we already know what his morally bankrupt base would say. He does not have authority over the census...bottom line.
We really need to do something about these illegal Indian 🇮🇳 immigrants coming here to America not paying their taxes!
Thats right. Unauthorized. Not legal. Illegal.
Legal challenges by people that hate America no doubt.
POLITICS ARE THE PROPAGANDA
Martha_Barcena ya ve el q nos trata con respeto
Trump really hates immigrants but married 2 and has 3 anchor kids with them.
What that's not one of his powers. He can't just supersede the constitution like that.
Illegals shouldn’t count. They are illegally here. That’s like saying, every time England or Canada has an election, I’ll go vote for them but I don’t live there.
They is never anything done to help anyone other than tje wealthy. 45 is always about the petty.
Stephen Miller has his fingerprints all over this one.
President Trump not Dominic Raab, is he?
Again. He evil and desperate. He will do whatever he can from now to Election Day to steal the election and the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP best start STOPPING/ CHALLENGING him at every point.
Thank you Trump for standing up for Americans. Obama pushed thru DACA even tho it was illegal. Supreme court held it up. So, good for goose , good for gander.
This is how come tax dollars should not be given to this organization they are propagating a falsehood and a lie making you feel sorry for people that have broken the laws do you feel sorry for all the rioters that are out there destroying businesses and harming people
He doesn’t know the law. He doesn’t read. He is not intellectually curious.
But that makes sense, right? What other country on the planet would let those here illegally participate
Sidestepping the process to become a legal citizen for years and years does not somehow now make you a citizen we have laws and rules to become a citizen follow them and you get to vote don’t follow them you do not get to vote
Trump wants to make sure that American citizens voices are heard and how they want their country to be ruled, people that have broken our laws as in felons are not allowed to vote so why do democrats think foreign nationals should have a voice
kimmrussell1212 The U.S. Constitution mandates that a census be taken every 10 years to count all people—both citizens and noncitizens—living in the United States. People. Not just citizens. Seems pretty straightforward to me. He can't do it.
Smh
Republicans will trample the Flag to reach the Constitution and they will burn both to maintain minority rule. The GOP is now being forced to choose between democracy or power and their decision is obvious. They are using fascism to attack democracy.
“Unauthorized” 😂 you mean illegal. Why would a person not in our country legally have a right to be represented? OH WAIT I know. Leftist ideologues don’t care about them, they just want their number. So weird how no sitting Democrat president has disagreed with trump on this.
