    non-citizens pay the same taxes (sometimes more) and use infrastructure and most services just like citizens. they should be included in the census. besides, what the gop is trying to do is unconstitutional

    • @KathyHales-vm6qk

      Not all noncitizens pay taxes, but they do get taxpayer funded benefits. And the Constitution clearly addresses rights of CITIZENS to vote. Says nothing about granting voting rights to noncitizens or illegals. Dems are trying to bastardize our Constitution.
