this ranks as the dumbest Q question i can recall……
If [D's] FIGHT to protect, safeguard, and promote all illegal immigrants as 'rightful' U.S. citizens who should be afforded all benefits and rights accordingly, WHY THEN WOULD THEY FIGHT TO BLOCK THEM FROM BEING 'COUNTED' AS PART OF THE U.S. CENSUS?
Answer = they are NOT opposing counting them - they WANT and NEED them counted AS PART OF THE POPULATION
they oppose identifying them as non citizens
so in this they are consistent
