  • Census, conducted every 10 years, hasn't asked citizenship question since 1950 
  • Trump admininstration wants to add it back in, claiming the Justice Department wants the data in order to help enforce the Voting Rights Act
  • Federal judge slapped them down in January, and now the Supreme Court says it will take the case on an expedited basis so the Census can proceed on time
  • Non-citizens who are included in the Census distort the legal count of people who are supposed to determine the relative population of the 50 states
  • Those ratios determine how many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes in presidential contests
  • They also inform spending equations usede to distribute federal tax dollars to the states for everything from education to road repairs

I guess green card holders and legal residents are turkey [BLEEP], then?

If that question appears on my census, I won't answer it...but there are a lot of questions on the census that I don't answer.
