Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Demands Answers on 2020 Census Citizenship Question | NowThis

‘I want to know about the racism and the very disturbing history that we’re seeing here.’ — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding answers about the proposed 2020 census citizenship question .

In US news and political news, Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Green New Deal proponent, is demanding answers about the proposed 2020 census citizenship question that would ask Americans if they are citizens. AOC refers to this as racism as it would target undocumented immigrants (sometimes referred to as illegal immigrants). The President Trump administration is hoping to have this question on the census 2020. AOC called out Wilbur Ross specifically in her statement given during the House Oversight committee markup meeting, led by chairman Elijah Cummings.

I’ve never seen a person ask lethal, direct, and honest questions in politics! This woman is on a whole different level... I think she is capable of being the first female president!! Go AOC!!! Never back down :)

Man, politically I love AOC! She's exactly the kind of representatives every state should have. Someone that is fighting for their constituents and holding those above her accountable for their actions for promises not kept.

[christopherwilson]

I absolutely admire her zeal and passion for the duty of representing the American people. We don't deserve her, but we are blessed to have her.

I'd like to share a story of my time working the 2000 census. I was a enumerator in the 2000 census in San Francisco. I went to a apartment that was populated by a mostly Japanese americans. While there an elderly Japanese lady who was sweeping up asked me why I was there. I told her I worked for the census. She chased me out with her broom. I spoke with her granddaughter later and she explained about the census and how it was used to send her and her family off to a camp in Nevada. I respect that lady. Don't blame her at all. As a representative of the census and the US government I deserved a good brooming.

I agree with Senator AOC that when it comes to our democracy we must do everything we can to fight against corruption and to protect the constitution at all cost !

[kerripearson]

AOC is a professional and she's come to work.

How is it possible some ppl can't see this woman is really standing up for America? Why would you not love to see her fighting against corruption?

[catalinacurio]

This woman is truth and strength, gotta love her to bits if you are also into honesty and transparency. 😊💙💙💙

[acmulhern]

She's amazing. So intelligent, well spoken, professional yet passionate. I wish politics had more people like that working to make the world better for the little people.

Sad that America is at a place right now where gvt officials are allowed to ignore congress requests without consequences

[edwardkong]

AOC. A good one. Even though I am not an American, I admire you for having the guts to take on the establishment. People like you not only give hope to America, which is a great nation, but also to the whole world !

[gilmoremccoy]

She is a firecracker! Well said.

I don't agree with many of Ms. Cortez's ideas, but she is dead right on this point.
