'Invasion By Design': House Democrats Unanimously Reject Adding Citizenship To Census

[Valletta]

The legislation is expected to be dead on arrival in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) argued that the Constitution prohibits not counting every "person" living in the country. "If we were being cynical politically, we would embrace this legislation because it's the red states like Texas in Florida, whose congressional delegation is already inflated by virtue of counting people who are not citizens," Raskin said. "We're simply trying to follow what the Constitution says, which I know is kind of a radical proposition around here these days."

I don’t think that a citizenship provision would pass muster in SCOTUS, given that the Constitution says “persons”.
Now, if Republicans would like to change it to “citizens” well, when they are successful opening a Constitutional convention, all items will be on the table.

The census is already out of control with questions beyond how many person at a residence. Constituition states to count, not gather other demographic information.
