Aaaaaand ANOTHER thing - since when did it become "unAmerican" to determine how many American citizens there are in America?
The purpose of the US Census is to determine voter apportionment and voting districts. They key word in both of those thoughts is "vote" - non-citizens, who are not supposed to be voting, should not be counted to begin with. What counting them does is give disproportionate weight to votes in that district. For example, if 1/3 of the people in a voting district are illegal, but get counted for that district, then the votes of the people who ARE entitled to vote there are given 133% of the strength that the rest of us in normal districts have.
Nowadays, the census is also used to apportion Federal funds to areas. Counting non-citizens (who do not rate government funds) in these areas also causes them to get a disproportionate amount of federal funding. In other words, illegals who are not funding the government are nevertheless collecting the benefits of funds generated by others.
That just ain't cricket! It's crap like that which has given Commiefornia way too much clout in America, out of all proportion to the amount of the country they actually represent. It's this kind of shit that gives them the de facto power to make law for how chickens in Iowa are farmed.
California should never, EVER, have power over any other state... but here we are.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
