Why the left hates the citizenship question on the census

Megan Barth:

Twenty-five million illegals or more are present in the U.S. – way more than the generally used estimate of 11 million illegals. No wonder that California, New York, and other states, plus a coalition of at least 175 organizations don't want Americans to know the real number. They have sued to get a federal judge to stop the Census Bureau from asking this question on the 2020 Census: "Are you a U.S. citizen?"
...

Aliens – whether legal or illegal – are not "immigrants." An "immigrant" is a person granted the status of "permanent legal resident" by federal law. Immigrants are U.S. nationals and count for purposes of representation. Aliens, including foreign tourists, foreign students, and persons who entered with no legal status or stayed longer than legally allowed, are not to be included in the count for representation.

No theory of self-government can justify one country "representing" citizens or subjects of another sovereign. Few American citizens realize that aliens are being represented in Congress and the Electoral College. Once our citizens learn of this, they are generally shocked.

Inclusion of aliens among those represented in "We the People of the United States" ought to offend not only U.S. nationals, but also some aliens and certainly their governments.
...

That is the scam the Democrats are running in opposition to the question.  It is how they intend to steal control of the House of Representatives.   If they pick up a few votes from illegals that is all the better as far as they are concerned.  But adding dozens of seats to the Democrat count is the real scam.
