Will the 2020 Census trigger the next Civil War?The oft over looked contributing factor to USA's first Civil War is the three-fifths compromise which established a slave would be counted as three-fifths (or as some say three out of five slaves would be counted) of a person when taking a census of a state’s overall population. The numbers from the census establishes how many seats in the U.S. House of Representatives each state has, and any government programs distribute resources/funds. As a result, going into the Civil War, by using the 3/5th calculation, the South had a disproportionate number of seats in the House.The 2020 Census may move forward with a count of all residents of a geographic area, including citizens, legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. The result will be more House seats for CA and other states which are illegal friendly (Sanctuary cities and states). Likewise, the distribution of resources/funds will be disproportionate to the number of citizens in the geography area. Simply put, the areas with more citizens and legal immigrants will loss money and representation, while they see areas with more illegals gain. Also, this will result in laws being passed which favor the areas with the largest number of illegals.Why is there a rush on the border? Could it be an effort to stake-the-deck before the census? With schools, law enforcement and medical care already strained by the illegal immigrants, its not hard to imagine the conflict in Congress and the courts exploding to the state borders. This time it will not be North and South, rather the West Coast and the East Northeast against what is called fly-over country. The outcome could be as many as five different smaller countries emerging form what was the US. Perhaps something like India, when after civil war the one nation of West Pakistan & East Pakistan being cut from the map of India. Then West and East Pakistan had a civil war of their own, and East Pakistan became the independent nation of Bangladesh. I don't see CA and NY staying one nation after various countries in between them are formed. The 2020 Census is coming - be ready. They may have the ports and population, but we have the pipelines, power-lines, roads, farmland and resources. Mat

Will the 2020 Census trigger the next Civil War? No, it will not.

Dave,It was meant to be a conspiracy theory trap, perhaps not well executed. To buy in to the theory about the 2020 census there must be an acceptance of slavery (3/5s compromise) as the key factor in bringing about the Civil War. There are those who can justify antebellum slavery while proclaiming illegal immigration as evil and leading to another civil war. Do I believe slavery was a national sin which cost the blood of a generation, yes (I think Lincoln had it right). Do I believe illegal immigration is a crime which is undermining the Rule of Law, yes (as in if they, illegals, don't have to obey the law why should I pay my taxes?). Do I believe the nation will have another civil war, no. I see this nation crumbling like all other empires in history, from within. It was written tongue-in-check, which I did not express well (you could not see either tongue or check), but it points to a dichotomy in how some think.Mat

I just want the both of you to know that this is now just a little clearer than mud. I already had my calculator out and ready to 'splain to my wife why we would be soon headed for the mts. of NC to live......And I was thinking that Trump's cheating at golf was our biggest concern, not the census!Go on to bed Mat. (Or what ever your name is today!) All that said, I did enjoy trying to figure this out! Love you Mat, Life is good!Come to think of it, it seems DD put something on there from a crazy conspiracy theory web site that I believed hook line and sinker. I still owe him!
