The Census did not count tourists. It counted those residing (not visiting) the US on April 1, 2020.
We host some Chinese students. They are here for the school year on F1 visas. they are not tourists. They were counted. There presence was perfectly legal.
Most people in the CR conveniently forget that the Census is not just for apportioning the members of the House of Representatives. It affects how much federal aid goes to states and municipalities. That’s why college students are counted at their school address. the municipality where the school is located is providing police, fire, ems and paved roads, etc.
Having helped train Census Field Workers an am very familiar with the directives on who is to be counted and where. Trump tried to change it and could not get away with it.
