Trump Administration Caves: No Citizenship Question On 2020 Census

Trump hasn't caved. Wouldn't surprise me to see an Executive order to get it done.

An EO cannot legally override the Fed Courts.

Looks like some deep state flunkies jumped the gun:

Wow, i never knew assumption and guessing were part of the law....

So 50 years ago when the question was on the census it wasn't justice?

Where in the constitution or census law does it say the Commerce department has to justify a question?

If a question is used to deny citizens representation then it runs afoul of several laws.

It doesn't count towards the count.

The question of people here illegally counting towards representation is another question.

Why should illegals, who can't vote, give citizens in one State more vote-gravity than another?

Because that’s how it’s written in the Constitution. And the can’t vote argument is ridiculous: children can’t vote, women couldn’t vote for most of our history, resident aliens csn’t vote. So clearly ability to vote has never been a consideration for representation.

Now all citizens can vote, and I doubt the founders ever thought that there would be people here for years or even decades that came here without some formal method of entry.

The founders were OK without women voting, blacks voting, Indians voting.....why would they care about illegals?

Because they would see it as skewing the population to States that don't care about people breaking the law?

I admit changing the census count method would take an amendment, but it's probably time for it.

The citizenship question isn't new, it was on in 2000. I hope Trump puts it on using an Exec Order, and then they fight about it in court.
The USSC didn't say it was "illegal" just that their argument for it was stupid.

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.

Great news! Now everyone can be counted.

Bad news, only citizens and LEGAL immigrants should be counted.

That’s not what the constitution says. And it’s contrary to every census in this country.

HERE IS A COPY OF THE QUESTION ON THE 2000 CENSUS FORM.
IT WAS ALSO ON MOST PREVIOUS CENSUS FORMS, SO IT IS OBVIOUSLY CONSTITUTIONAL.
WHY IS IT EVEN AN ISSUE? IT SHOULD NOT BE, ITS A VITAL QUESTION TO GET REPRESENTATION RIGHT.

Nobody but conservatives will answer it

WHY IS IT EVEN AN ISSUE? IT SHOULD NOT BE, ITS A VITAL QUESTION TO GET REPRESENTATION RIGHT.

No it’s not. Representation has nothing to do with citizenship. I already showed the relevant parts of the Constitution. Citizenship has never ever played a role in representation.

But asking the question will cause an undercount and will get representation wrong.

Citizenship data is already collected in the American Community Survey so there is no reason to include a citizenship question except to undercount Hispanics...and deliberately trying for an inaccurate count is unconstitutional.

 

[protectionist]

The Trump Admin openly admitted doing so would reduce response rates and thus weaken the data. They gave no positive rationale for doing this. Thus they lost.

I see you saying it. I don't see them saying it.

 

[protectionist]

Nothing inherently wrong with it, the rational of the Admin was bogus and thus they shot themselves in the foot with a bullshit reason to add it at this late date.

The reason, on any date, is that the census is to count Americans.
