California suing Trump over asking question on citizenship in census

Quote:Democrats have criticized the administration’s announcement, saying the inclusion of such a question amounts to an effort to intimidate immigrant communities and siphon money and electoral power away from them.

In a San Francisco Chronicle opinion piece published Monday, Becerra and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla wrote that the inclusion of a citizenship question would be "illegal" and "an extraordinary attempt by the Trump administration to hijack the 2020 census for political purposes."

"California, with its large immigrant communities, would be disproportionately harmed by depressed participation in the 2020 census," they wrote. "An undercount would threaten at least one of California’s seats in the House of Representatives (and, by extension, an elector in the electoral college.)"

But the kicker is that only illegal immigrants would lose money (which they aren’t entitled to) and electoral power (ditto).

Like many on the right, including me, have said all along, the whole imigration fracas is all about Democrats getting votes or seats because of illegals.
