TRUMP AGENDA - Voter Suppression via Census

"Citizenship question may result in less accurate 2020 census, says former bureau director" PBS NewsHour 3/27/2018

REMINDER:  The 'citizenship' question was pulled from the census in 1950.

"Decennial U.S. Census figures are based on actual counts of persons dwelling in U.S. residential structures.  They include citizens, non-citizen legal residents, non-citizen long-term visitors, and illegal immigrants." - Wikipedia

Also, when responding don't answer the question.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The U.S. Department of Commerce announced Monday it plans to add back a question on citizenship status to the 2020 census -- a change requested by the Justice Department.  Now the state of California is suing the Trump administration, calling the move unconstitutional.  The former director of the U.S. Census Bureau Kenneth Pruitt discusses the impact of the rule change with Judy Woodruff.
