I don’t believe that country is experiencing the same troubles as the NT countries…
No, I reject it because it’s flawed, and because it does not address the real issue, that the Census is required by the Constitution so as to fairly apportion representation in Congress among the States based on the number of legal residents in each State.
If that is the result of the question being on the Census form then it has the same effect as if those people answered the question.
Exactly. That just goes to demonstrate that the economic and political problems of other countries should not be our problem.
No sparky. What was overreach before is executive precedent now. Thank your hero Barack Obama.
That’s a completely fabricated number. We don’t even have a clue as to how many illegals are in the country so there’s no possible way to know what percentage of them are paying any taxes at all.
Of those we know are paying over 95% have a net 0 or net Negative Tax Liablitliy and that income tax fraud is rampant amongst them.
You have no way of knowing that, you reject it because you don’t like it.
No, because facts matter, something that you appear to be allergic to! Again cite sources that backs up your claim for the third time!
That dismisses better than a century of US interference and exploitation, support of dictatorships and bringing in our marines to protect the interests of United Fruit and others at the expense of the local citizenry.
What a bunch of hogwash! Now you are using false equivalencies to argue your virtue signaling talking points! Did they teach you that at CNN?
The Census Bureau itself has stated that the question will result in diminished participation. 
Good lord dude, that wasn’t the objective of the study. The study was commissioned to ascertain the effects on non citizen residents, that’s it. And the conclusion is that more than 6 million will not participate, many of whom are contributors in federal, state and local taxes. In fact, 50-75% of them do according to the non partisan CBO. 
Again repeating lies! Your statement is an attempt at credibility which fails miserably each time you repeat the same lie over and over again! There is not one single source that supports this as being true! Where did you come up 75%? Can you make it any more obvious that you are making shit up?
How exactly is that a problem? Representation in congress is not supposed to be representing illegals, only citizens of the US.
With a net zero or Net Negative Tax liability.
He pukes this stuff up endlessly.
Even a visiting foreigner who is here for 1 day and buys gas, cigarettes, and bottle of jack daniels pays federal excise tax.
That is all you are referring to… not income tax
You’re going to drown and die if the citizenship question doesn’t go back on the census after 70 years of not being there? A bit melodramatic.
No matter how many times you repeat it, the Harvard study does not say that fear induced by the citizenship question was the reason that it was removed by the CB in 1960, nor does it say that the redistribution of representation in Congress would be unfairly affected by adding it back in for the 2020 census. I have no doubt that many people who are not here legally will not respond to the Census if the question is asked, but those are precisely the same people who are not supposed to be counted for the purposes of distribution of Representatives. In other words, it would do no harm.
