Seems like a common sense question that would provide better information on the make up of our country. Naturally Democrats are against it but that's no surprise.

The answer is without a doubt yes. With everything the census goes toward, just counting the numbers is not a feasible way to determine the electoral college and representatives in Congress. I would even add their social security numbers as well. You can still count everyone and still have these requirements on the census.
 
Given we have a database of social security number recepients, why do we need the census at all? Why not just ask the SSA?

Yes. Not even debatable.
Doesn't seem like something any American would be against yet Democrats are adamantly against it. One again proving Democrats put their thirst for power above the welfare of the American people. Only an idiot would vote against their own welfare, speaking to you Democrat voters.

The constitution is vague on how to conduct a census but does directly say the census will be used to apportion representatives of the states. It does break down who can be counted "whole Number of free Persons". So what is a free person if not a citizen, but then again, the constitution uses citizen as a word in the document so why not use citizen here?

By counting and placing every social security number you could accomplish this goal, and it would not be unconstitutional. It could fall into the implied powers of the Constitution.
