Limbaugh lying again


Your article is bullshit. The question was on the “long form” which is now known as the American Community Survey...and it is still on the ACS.

The long form, like the ACS was sent to less than 5% of the country.

When Did the U.S. Census Stop Asking About Citizenship?
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the question about citizenship was removed from census forms in 2010. Was she correct?

The census is a decennial event, meaning it occurs every 10 years. There was a census in 1960, and one in 1970, for example, but there wasn’t one in 1965. It’s unclear why Sanders cited that year as a reference point.

It’s misleading, moreover, to claim that the citizenship question was “removed” from the census in 2010. As noted above, it was a standard question on census forms through 1950; then, for unexplained reasons, it was omitted in 1960 for everyone except residents of New York City and Puerto Rico. Beginning in 1970 and continuing through 2000, the Census Bureau used two different questionnaires to gather information: a short form sent to more than 80 percent of American households which did not inquire about citizenship, and a long form distributed to fewer than 20 percent of American households which did. The long form was discontinued after 2000, so in 2010 every household received the short form — meaning, in effect, that no one was asked for citizenship data in that year’s decennial census. But it wasn’t because any questions were “removed.”

By then, the Census Bureau was relying on another program called the American Community Survey (ACS) to collect most of the same data (including citizenship information) that the long form did, but on an ongoing, annual basis instead of once a decade. That it’s still in use means that technically the Census Bureau never actually stopped asking the citizenship question; to put it more accurately, since 2000 they have only asked the citizenship question of the approximately 3.5 million households (2.6 percent of the population) per year who participate in the ACS survey.

Returning to Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ statement, while it is not absolutely incorrect to claim, as she apparently intended to do, that every census between 1960 and 2010 included a question about citizenship, it is misleading. The vast majority of Americans — the more than 80 percent who only filled out the short form during those years — wouldn’t have been asked about citizenship, because the question only appeared on the long form. And that form ceased to exist after 2000.

Strictly speaking, then, the Trump administration isn’t “reinstating” the citizenship question. They’re calling for it to be added to the short form that will be mailed to every American household in 2020.

It won’t be the first time people are required to divulge their citizenship status on a U.S. census form, but it will be the first time since 1950 that everyone is required to do so.

When Did the U.S. Census Stop Asking About Citizenship?

There is nothing misleading about it. The old census can be found on census.gov website. It clearly asks about US citizenship in 2000. In 2010 it does not.

That means it was removed during the Hussein Regime.

Obama took over in Jan 2009. The Census is printed by July the year prior to the Census year. The questionnaire is planned and layed more than a year before that to be tested by focus groups.

If it was taken out, it was done so by Bush.

That is the Census long form only sent to a small percent of the nation and has been replaced by the American Community Survey, which still has the question and is also only sent to a small percent of the nation.

Thus nothing has changed, the same percent of people will be asked the question.

It was taken out during the Hussein. The point is the question was there many times before, and never controversial. But now the left is fully anti-American so they must lie about previous census questions.

So what if not everyone got the long form? It was still a question on the most complete form available, and a question asked on the census. Which completely destroys the claims by the left that the question is only being put there by President Trump in order to intimidate anyone.

Gush Pimpballs is a known fabricator of information.
 
While I'm more than happy to blame Obama for every idiotic thing that he in fact did......

I would have to agree with the Obama idiots on this one. Just like Bush can't be blamed for the economic slump created by Clinton's policies in the 1990s... Obama can't be blamed for a census change that happened before he was in office.

The Census changed their questionnaire, before Obama was in office. He had nothing to do with it. The sub-prime bubble was already fueled and growing, before Bush was ever in office. He had nothing to do with it.

Blame Obama for what Obama did. Don't make up false claims against him. There is plenty of stupid to blame him for.

Hey, you lying sack of sh**, here is the year 2000 census, it asks point blank if the person is a US citizen. (Question 13)

https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/d02p.pdf


Now here is the 2010 census.
No question about place of birth or citizenship.

https://www.census.gov/2010census/pdf/2010_Questionnaire_Info.pdf

NIce try. You linked to the long form form 2000 and the short form from 2010.

Here's the form that was sent to 95% of households.

https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/d61a.pdf

So you are trying to claim the long from was illegal?

No. I'm saying the form you linked to was only sent to 5% of households in 2000.

In the end it will just cost the tax payer more money for the Census Bureau to send out more people to survey the areas that under report.
