I believe only about 20% of eligible people signed up for DACA and that put them at risk when Trump took over.
The same way they previously counted undocumented people.

In the constitution it says to count people, it does not specify citizens. The republicans trying to just count citizens to shift funding, districts and EC away from blue areas which have larger numbers of PRs, people on Visas, and illegals.

PRs and Visa I get, but undocumented are undocumented. Unless I'm missing something.

Yes you’re missing where it says count people.

It's convenient to pretend that undocumented immigrants aren't people and don't use any resources.

Do they use sampling? I can't remember. If they do it makes counting undocumented people (and homeless people for that matter) a lot easier.

Trump revokes ethics order barring former aides from lobbying


Shortly after pardoning members of Congress and lobbyists convicted on corruption charges, President Trump revoked an executive order barring former officials from lobbying for five years after leaving his administration.
Then fill it back up!

Undocumented people can/still do fill out the census. Where they will be counted.

That is why adding the "Are you a citizen" question to the census was such a big issue, it was obviously there to prevent people from answering the census, thus lowering the number of people counted, and all of the cuts to funds/representation that comes with that.

Regarding the last minute pro discrimination changes trump made pardon my ignorance but isn’t that just being a dick for the sake of being a dick? All he did was add a few items for Biden to reverse, they get maybe 48 hours of their ghoulish trash human legalized discrimination

I'm sure in the fist couple of days of being in power, Biden will reverse all the last minute changes such as this as the items against same sex couples.

I'm sure in the next two days we'll see a record number of executive orders.

If you've got eggs and booze in your house, you've got everything you need for brunch.

So how long does Biden get a free pass to not be criticized for anything because “at least he’s not trump”? Asking for a friend.
