Here's what this American government educator has discovered.
Our U.S. Consitution does not say that all AMERICAN CITIZENS in our country must be counted every ten years. It does, however, state that ALL PERSONS must be counted. So, for years, OUR census has only counted, or tried to count, all persons. That matter whether they are American citizens or not. Again...HOW MANY PERSONS.... That also means that it is possible for millions of non-citizens every ten years to be and will be counted, falsely inflating figures for the U.S. Representatives distribution for all 50 states and qualifying for state and local funds! See...what happens if a state is in a position on the map where large numbers of persons currently live and not as legal citizens?
That every ten year count is important. It decides how many U.S. Representatives will be selected from each state, meaning the number of Reps for a state may change up, down or remain the same. There are 435 (+3 from D.C.) seats that never changes in number.
Also, our U.S. Census counts trickle down throughout the system to localities, helping to decide who gets what and how much.....
