What Trump Is Hiding About the 2020 Census Citizenship Question | NowThis

Here’s how the proposed 2020 census citizenship question could help keep Republican strongholds — and how the Trump admin might be hiding where it came from.

In US news, NowThis News is breaking down the issues surrounding the 2020 census citizenship question, where it came from, and how it could help Republican districts remain in place. Trump administration Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who runs the Census Bureau, is one of the masterminds behind the proposed citizenship question on 2020 census. Asking about citizenship among the 2020 census questions could motivate immigrants and other not to participate in the census 2020 which theoretically could skew census data in favor of Republicans. Some see this as a form of voter suppression and an effort to limit voting rights. Where the idea for the question came from and how it's being deployed are under scrutiny, as seen in this Now This News video.

What do you do when you can't win legitimately? Cheat.

[lovely-mkrt]

We should all boycott that question. Settled

[autumnanderson]

This is how the popular vote hasn’t worked. So sorry that man died however things need to change. The question to asked if you are a citizen will not help at all. We need to make sure the question doesn’t make it. Republicans need to stop ✋ with the bs and start representing the ppl. It usually takes years to vet a new question, why is the Tramp WH rushing this question.

[murgerowitz]

An actual citizen will have no issue with proving it. Only those that are here illegally will hide from it. Period.

[v.leewalker]

If everyone refuses to answer the question?

[theresacarmen]

Another creepy, mean-spirited Donnie cohort. Where do they find all these sociopaths?

The GAO also issued a number of reports that criticized the Census Bureau - something that gets little attention: the cyber-security of the Census Bureau was reported to have over 3, 000 security flaws. There were also problems with the inadequate training of employees, and more. While there has been a great deal of focus on the Citizenship question, few media outlets have reported these other extreme problems, and none have reported them in great detail.

Get rid of electoral system, go with popular vote. Make ranked voting system. America is so broken that it's hilarious that anyone want to say it's greatest country as is.

Identify, Categorize, Divide, Gentrify.
Isolate then Execute!

Lying to Congress under oath is a crime! Lock him up! Lock him up!

[Gravelark]

For the law & order party, they sure like to skirt the law & upend order.

[tinoortiga]

Well he can't use Russia to win this time, so thier gonna try this old trick. BTW, that question was added illegally. He can't just add a question.

[stanleyhudson]

What's wrong with asking if you're a citizen?
It's a legitimate question.
Especially if it effects our voting system

[ramiroacosta]

If you are not a citizen, then you should not be counted and represented in Congress, benefits, etc. PERIOD! I am Hispanic, and I wouldn't be underrepresented.

[TankThomas]

This administration is out of control. When does it end? If DT wins again, we are in big trouble as a nation. Please vote blue to save America

[davidrihno]

Theirs nothing wrong with asking if your a citizenship or not. How else can you determine how many illegal immigrants are in the country.

[petrosE]

In any issues, from Federal funding to drawing district lines, decisions should be made as if illegal aliens were not present. They are, afterall present without permission and them being in the country shouldn't affect the way the country is run.
They certainly should not receive any benefits from taxpayers' money.

[RevQuads]

The same people who claim to be pro-life are the ones who are first in line to shun and mistreat people that are less fortunate than them.
