The fact they will absolutely refuse that deal tells you all you need to know.

That would be a good "test"... but I still don't wanna give them extra funding.

I certainly am not OK with states inflating their federal funding by letting in more illegals. If they want to be a sanctuary state, they'll have to do it with their own money.

What does the Constitution say about the Census? We should follow whatever it says.

They would throw illegal aliens out so fast, your head would spin. Their support for illegal aliens is all about political power and congressional seats

Funny how we want to pretend this just went away. Dems just figured out how to repackage it.

The U.S. Constitution empowers the Congress to carry out the census in "such manner as they shall by Law direct" (Article I, Section 2).

Thus, this would be Congress directing the conduct of the Census by law.

You are correct. You can't compromise for a number of reasons. First, you cannot trust them and they will violate the deal as soon as they have the power to do so. Second, the presence of illegals, whether there is apportionment or not, will result in illegal votes - full stop. IDGAF what liberals say, illegals are voting. The obvious one is the law. Either we have immigration laws or we don't - there can be zero semi-enforced or selectively enforced laws in this country.

Oh, I agree 100%.

My proposal would force Dems to publicly confess their true intentions

It honestly doesn’t even matter what it says because they will just change the meaning of words to get whatever interpretation they want, see birthright citizenship.

frick no. It still incentivizes them to protect illegals and will continue to cost the American taxpayer billions upon billions of dollars (through direct assistance to illegals and fraud in these states).

If they are removed, there is nothing to compromise about.

They won’t settle for anything less than open borders. The country is lost. As soon as Trump leaves office, the race to destruction will be under way. Our choice will be accept whatever the regime allows or go to a new home and start over.
