Such a question would be counterproductive. People would not fill out the form and we would not get an accurate counting. That could hurt citizens as well as non-citizens.
Census is a counting of our people in our country. Declaring your citizenship is not a requirement for anything census taking is about but it might give them a list of people to go after or check out more closely. In other words, adding the citizenship question stirs the census in a totally different direction. It's almost like entrapment.
Yes, I heard... And now Trump is crying about it
Why is "so imperative" that such question be removed?
"Furman found that the decision by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to add the citizenship question to the 2020 census was "unlawful" because of "a veritable smorgasbord of classic, clear-cut" violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, including cherry-picking evidence to support his choice. Ross oversees the Census Bureau."
It is imperative because the census if used to determine political district maps, allocation of resources, etc. If people either don't complete or complete inaccurate information because they are afraid to declare they or sometime in their household is not a citizen, the information being collected is wrong.
@HippieChick58 Sure....LOL
@HippieChick58 Omitting that question was only because of an ignorant liberal judge because it should have been included.
