Dirty Dems predictably make up rules as they go
Senate Democrats Thursday blocked a GOP attempt to require next year’s census forms to ask people whether they are U.S. citizens.
The proposal by Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter was aimed at excluding non-citizens from the population totals that are used to figure the number of congressional representatives for each state.
Critics said Vitter’s plan would discourage immigrants from responding to the census and would be hugely expensive. They also said it’s long been settled law that the apportionment of congressional seats is based on the number of people living in each state, regardless of whether they are citizens. (emphasis mine)
Census is also used to distribute billions of dollars in federal aid.
That’s a bold-faced lie. There is no such law.
I may just have to bitch-slap the next liberal I encounter just for the fun of it.
Seriously.
