The U.S. Constitution's Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, also known as the Enumeration Clause or the Census Clause, mandates that the U.S. government conduct a census every 10 years. The census has several purposes, including:
Apportionment
The census determines how many representatives each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives by dividing the 435 seats among the 50 states based on population.
Federal funds
The census data is used to distribute billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities.
Community development
The census helps communities decide where to build schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and homes.
Legislative districts
The census is used to draw the lines of legislative districts.
The Constitution's framers chose population as the basis for sharing political power instead of wealth or land. The census also ensures that comparative state political power in the House reflects comparative population, not wealth.
The Supreme Court case Department of Commerce v. New York , decided in June 2019, found the rationale to add the question was arbitrary and capricious and required the department to provide a better reasoning before inclusion. The department dropped the question by the form’s publication time.[19] Following the decision, Trump issued an executive order directing the department to obtain citizenship data from other federal agencies rather than via the census.[20] On July 21, 2020, Trump signed a presidential memorandum ordering the exclusion of illegal immigrants from the numbers in the 2020 census that are used to apportion seats in the House of Representatives.[21]
写Whole number of persons还Whole number of persons，
甚麽叫Whole number of persons才是问题本身，你上法庭说非法移民是Whole number of persons九成是站不住脚，因为你理论上是不能登记纳入统计。
这问题跟用学生签证在州被问及你的身份的时候是一样的。
According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service accepts late registrations up until a man reaches his 26th birthday.
Failure to register is a felony and non-registrants may be denied the following benefits for life:
State-based student loans and grant programs in 31 states
Federal job training under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (formerly Workforce Investment Act)
Federal (and many state and local) jobs Up to a 5-year delay of U.S. citizenship proceedings for immigrants
Who Needs to Register Immigrants & Dual Nationals Immigrants
U.S. immigrants are required by law to register with the Selective Service System 30 days after their 18th birthday or 30 days after entry into the United States if they are between the ages of 18 and 25. This includes U.S. born and naturalized citizens, parolees, undocumented immigrants, legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, refugees, and all males with visas of any kind which expired more than 30 days ago.
The few individuals who are exempt from this requirement are those on current non-immigrant visas, as long as they remain on a valid visa up until they turn 26. If you have received a letter from us requesting that you register, please send us copies of supporting documentation to show you are exempt.
