If “truth” were a liberal, it would seek assisted suicide.
The only difference is that Trump wants to add it back to the short form instead of the American Family Survey.
The census bureau and the Harvard study both conclude that the question will diminish participation. That has been my point since I posted the results…
Correct! I am just pointing out the double standard regularly practiced by the Democrats! The reality is what they claim on why they are fighting this is a lie!
Well that’s true about virtually everything they are claiming today.
Yes, that is their conclusion, but again, it does not answer my question.
Also again … the very segment of the population who will avoid participating in the census because of that question are the same people who, if they did respond honestly would answer “no” to the citizenship question and thus not be counted towards reapportionment. In other words NO HARM DONE!
I don’t even know why you’re asking me that question.
“President Trump looks to be increasingly boxed in on his effort to add a controversial citizenship question to the 2020 census.
Judges have repeatedly ruled against the Trump administration on the question since officials first announced last year that it would be included in the next decennial population survey.
But that hasn’t stopped the president from doubling down on the issue, even as census materials are being printed without the controversial question.
If Trump issues an executive order or another kind of presidential directive to include the question, as he’s widely expected to, it’s guaranteed to be met with another round of legal challenges. And experts told The Hill that with constitutionally mandated census deadlines approaching, there simply may not be enough time to relitigate the issue.”
That is about to change with more appointments in the future as well!
The reason is obvious. You made the claim that because question was causing people to not participate in the census they pulled it after 1950.
Here is what you posted:
I asked for evidence to support that claim and all you came up with was a study to support the premise that the question causes non-participation by illegal residents. If you can’t come up with evidence fine, but please quit beating around the bush by pretending you have answered me.
If we end up with some actual balance on the 9th it’s going to overturn about fifty years of leftwing loading of the court.
The question was present in one form or another on either the AMFS or short form census document until the Obama administration dropped it in 2010.
Yes, and reading about his latest while slapping Feinstein and heels up Harris in their faces is great fodder! There are two more possible appointments before the end of Trumps first term!
It’s quite obvious that following the influx of Mexicans during WW2 that the question would compromise participation, and now there’s far far greater numbers of undocumented residents. So, if you want an accurate count of who is living in America you wouldn’t ask the citizenship question.
But if you disagree with that, perhaps you can post why the question was removed 60 years ago…
Oh I see, so you get called out for not providing a straight forward answer and the go to is for you to pivot! Classic liberal tactic!
You are reaching here! Battles are won and lost, it’s who wins the war that matters, but sensitive snowflakes like you wouldn’t make that distinction!
Sounds more like a political stunt by the Judges and this quote from the same article seems to put it to rest.
“The staffing change the Department has made will not affect the posture of the case or cause any disruption in this matter,” DOJ attorneys wrote.
I don’t believe the Judiciary has the authority to dictate to DOJ who the DOJ sends to represent it’s interests in the case to begin with.
You are correct! Judges don’t have the authority to dictate what lawyers are to act as representatives for their clients! This is a total overreach on their part not to mention unconstitutional!
More beating around the bush. I don’t know why they removed the question. That’s why I asked you for your source for what is becoming abundantly clear is nothing more than your opinion which is based on pure speculation.
