Support, backlash on Trump Census move. DT at it AGAIN! Trying to stop including immigrants

from being included in census.

(snip)
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum Tuesday, July 21, that seeks to bar people in the U.S. illegally from being included in the headcount as congressional districts are redrawn, a move that drew immediate criticism and promises of court challenges on constitutional grounds.

According to the memo, census workers would continue counting immigrants who are in the country illegally, but they would not be factored into decisions about congressional representation. The Census Bureau would have five months to come up with a way to accurately estimate the number of residents illegally in each state in order to subtract them from the overall count.

I don't think this will work but I'm not an atty. so I don't know for sure. Maybe one iof his newly appointed fed. judges will side with him.
