Trump Administration Drops Bid To Put Citizenship Question On 2020 Census

The decision comes days after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the administration from adding the question.

There will not be a question asking about citizenship on the 2020 census, the Trump administration said Tuesday.

The decision comes less than a week after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the administration from adding the question, saying it did not provide an adequate explanation for the addition.

“We can confirm that the decision has been made to print the 2020 Decennial Census questionnaire without a citizenship question, and that the printer has been instructed to begin the printing process,” Kate Bailey, a Justice Department attorney, wrote to lawyers for the plaintiffs challenging the addition of the question.

Kelly Laco, a Justice Department spokeswoman, confirmed in an email to HuffPost there would not be a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

The Constitution was ignored. No way that the citizenship question is illegal. Commerce had shitty lawyers arguing the case, Barr should have been involved. Now our votes are diluted by the migrants/illegals. CA and NY gets more congressmen than they deserve.

They should do away with the census and simply count the number of federal tax returns received from each state.

Argument analysis: Divided court seems ready to uphold citizenship question on 2020 census - SCOTUSblog

Arguing for the federal government today, U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco began by stressing that the citizenship question has been asked on the census for nearly 200 years. But he was quickly interrupted by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who pushed back. It hasn’t been included in the census sent to all households since 1950, she reminded Francisco, because every secretary of commerce and every statistician has recommended against asking it.

The Solicitor General is DoJ. In the case before the Supremes, Commerce and New York State, et al, were the contestants.

There are millions of poor Americans without healthcare, but the D Party wants to give free healthcare to illegals. In what universe, does that make sense?

All Alaska has to do now is pack its state full of illegal Russians and gain a bunch of Red Electoral Votes?

Cool.

Somebody needs to investigate the proponents at the Chamber of Commerce.

Fact: citizenship data is already collected by the American Community Survey, which replaces the long form Census questionnaire.

Fact: citizenship questions discourage a significant number of people from responding.

Fact: it is a constitutional duty to accurately count the entire population for representation purposes.

Conclusion: putting a citizenship question in the census is not necessary because that information is already collected by Census. Asking it would cause an inaccurate count, and intentionally trying for an inaccurate count is a violation of the constitution.

So the question is whether or not the intent was to gain an undercount of a certain segment of the population in violation of the Constitution.

Why do you think it should be included in the Census?

There are millions of poor Americans without healthcare, but the D Party wants to give free healthcare to illegals. In what universe, does that make sense?

The Pew Research Center estimates that 11.2 million undocumented immigrants reside in the United States. Approximately 14% of these persons live in Texas, and this number is expected to increase.1 Primary care is delivered to this population at 1 of the 69 federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Texas or via safety net hospital systems.2 Both locations care for uninsured and indigent patients, regardless of citizenship. The FQHCs receive money from the federal government and are equipped to provide both primary and preventative care. Safety net hospital systems (also called "county" or "public" hospitals) tend to be located in larger cities (e.g., Houston or San Antonio) and are funded by their specific county. Although they offer a multitude of services, including specialist care and elective surgeries, a longer wait time is usually involved. One unfortunate consequence of the current system is that patients often present to the emergency room with a more advanced disease due to lack of early diagnosis or treatment. The resulting health care costs more and is often either uncompensated or inadequately compensated.
