President Trump announced in a social media post that he has directed the Department of Commerce to begin work on a new US census that excludes undocumented immigrants from the population count.

If they aren't counted they don't exist. So they should not have to pay taxes. That was 96.7 billion last year.

He likely thinks he's making a point, showing undocumented people they don't belong, loving the cruelty. But what he's really doing is wasting taxes on a census that deprives the US administration of vital data for nearly every future political decision, rendering the whole thing useless.

What Texas is doing at the state level, Trump wants to do nationally. He’s not trying to exclude undocumented immigrants. He’s trying to exclude Democrats. The census counts people, not just citizens. No one is required to display any kind of ID.

No. The census is mostly sent out in the mail and when they do go door-to-door, everyone knows it’s coming.

Probably not to find immigrants, but this is Trump's census so the regime will set the rules. Hell, they could decide to use AI lol.

You could choose to read the article which discusses the unconstitutional nature in the second paragraph. Outrage against an authoritarian regime is good, outrage about the new organization stating facts is pushing a false narrative which contributes to the problem of willful ignorance.

You're not wrong but not having the authority to do something has not stopped him so far. He might get held up for a while in the courts though.

Ignoring the illegality aspect of the EO, the irony is that if non-citizens (legal and illegal) were not counted, red states would lose a lot of house of representative members because they would understate their populations. No one ever accused the the FOTUS admin of being particularly bright.
