President Trump is going to take on this corrupt agency...next term! Pray that he takes it down! I have visions of President Trump knocking down desks and tables at IRS screaming about their traitorous ways..much like Jesus did at the temple. When that happens...know that God has spoken! Evil people should be very afraid..because God is pissed!
US Constitution, Article 1, Section 2:
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.
When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
This puts the census under the rule of (federal) law, which means the government decides how the "Enumeration" takes place.
The count is of "free Persons", which I don't believe is defined anywhere else in the Constitution and makes for free interpretation. You can readily interpret this as not including people in prison; whether persons who illegally immigrated and reside in the US counts could IMO be debated. (Maybe they might count as "three fifths of a Person"? Prisoners could.)
IMO the argument presented in this article is more likely to be used by the lefties to prevent the IRS from asking the question (and therefore giving illegal immigrants tax incentives), than to add weight to the question being asked in the census. :-P

Keep the questions coming. Demand answers/change. Keep exposing hypocrisy!

It's OK for the IRS to ask about legal status? That's news to me. I would have thought the globalist cabal would have changed that immediately.

Because the Democrats and their propaganda arm of the press want more illegals. More illegals that are counted as part of the states legitimate population gives the Democrats more money and more political power. Its so simple even a caveman could figure it out.

because the IRS isn't voted into office by illegals like the Democrats.
