Really? No citizenship question on the census is the NWO…
Why??? Was it useless in 2010, 2000 or 1990??? No citizenship question then either…
Good! If I were to pretend that I believed the Trump Administration’s claim that it simply wants to better enforce the Voting Rights Act…why can’t the government cross-reference data that it already possesses – SSA data, BCE data – to get a pretty good picture of the number and location of citizens, lawfully present non-citizens, and unlawfully present persons presently in the country? (Yes, privacy laws apply and Congress may have to authorize the exchange, but if the data is there to cross-reference, why try to collect it in a way that pretty much every expert on the subject says will reduce rates of completion and accuracy?)
But… yeah… that’s a mental exercise for another universe at this point. Excellent news!

Exactly. The Commerce Department already has this information. It was incredibly stupid for Commerce to be pushing this question because it would both call into question their actual stats on citizenship and the reliability of the census itself. The question would have done actual harm to the mission of the agency and the constitutional mandate it carries out.
The VRA excuse should actually be prosecuted and the lawyers who used it disbarred. It was found pre-textual by everyone with two brain cells. There is no reason the legal profession should allow lawyers at DOJ ruin their relationship with the courts. Attorneys have a vested interest in maintaining a level of ethics in legal proceedings and if that gets eroded the courts will either make their lives harder or will find them irrelevant.

Well that’s been the whole point, and Wilbur Ross told Trump this a year and a half ago.

Because it’s called the census and is conducted every ten years and has been this way since the country’s inception! Does that not fit with your mantra of flag burning, tearing down. American institutions and hate for the country itself mantra?
If you would kindly go back and read the conversation you would see that the point is the government already has this information. Asking for it would have not provided anything beneficial and would have very likely reduced participation.
I don’t need to I already know that and its not worth my time arguing about it! Try again if you will, I already stated my case in concise terms and it might benefit you to read first then comment instead of trying to play the white knight here!
A good start but since millions of illegals have kids in the US who are born citizens this doesn’t apply to them.
Their children are also entitled to the full range of welfare benefits any citizen is.
No it calls for a count of “Free Persons” those who are here illegally are not.
For accurate representation? You bet. The question still appeared until Obama removed it in 2010.
Speak all you want. I spoke my logical conclusion.
Despite all that was said, I really don’t think Commerce was “pushing” it. It was another singular Trump issue which he thought (and judging by his tribe here, rightly so) that it would solidify his base. But another one of his pipe dreams up in smoke.
Again you don’t know what you are talking about!
The original citizen question to be added to the 2020 census was Commerce secretary Wilbur Ross’s initiative as the census is under the commerce department’s purview and was a DOJ directive originally.

In simplistic terms (which is what we expect from Trump,) that is what it is.
Tourist can, and many do, stay here in one location for more than 30 days … That makes them indistinguishable to a census taker from any other person who is living in a house, apartment or dwelling.
