Are you asking why someone would be against it?

Similar to being against voter ID laws. They want to be sure they can count the illegals.

Are they legally supposed to be counted?

Counted in the census or counted toward apportionment of representatives etc?

Either way I don't know the answer. I think they probably shouldn't be for the latter.

I guess I should have expected a political answer from you.

So you were expecting a non-political answer to a political question?

They are supposed to be counted in the census and (at least the way things are now), they are counted regarding allocation of representatives. Neither of those things would change by adding the question.

The claim against the question is that it might lead to fewer illegal residents responding to the survey, and therefore fewer representatives in areas that have a lot of illegal residents.

No need to make it a political question. You can make "When is next Tuesday" a political question if you want to.

Why (rhetorical) is Trump president when more people voted for HRC?

Because if you take away all the illegals' votes Trump would have more than her?

No need to make it a political question.

So if your original question was "can someone give a non-political explanation for why the opposition party is opposing this action taken by the administration?" I believe the answer to that is no.

You basically can't take politics out of anything. That is why this country is so screwed up.

...but all the illegal Russians voted for Trump. Why do you think Trump kisses Putins *ss every chance he gets. As bad as BO was he was never an *ss kisser like this president.

Because the Census is supposed to count how many ppl live in the US of A. Regardless whether they are here legally or not.

Yes. Trump agrees that they need to be counted. He just wants to point it out to everyone what the situation is...

It's also in sync with where the Democratic partys position on immigration overall.
