Not at all.

The census provides the government with information about its residents like: what's the average annual income, how many families are currently living below the poverty line, what's the percentage of Americans who graduate from high school, etc.

It gives the government the numbers it needs so that different agencies can determine which laws work, which don't, what government agencies aren't doing their jobs, how many people are falling through the cracks, etc.

It is definitely not the main purpose of the census. It isn't a purpose of the census at all.

No. The purpose of the US Census is not to deport illegal immigrants. The purpose of the census is to establish the number of congressmen representing each state in the United States House of Representatives and to determine the size of districts. AS long as the census is taken, the government uses it to collect additional data.

Why does prime minister ignore immigrants taking over London?

Assuming you're talking about illegal immigrants (not those who are legally allowed to be here)... They're not 'taking over London' ! SInce London is close to the South East of England - it has a higher mixture of foreign cultures and peoples than most other places ! If you want stricter immigration laws... petition your local MP to do more to make it easier to return illegal immigrants to their country of origin !
