“This is a recipe for sabotaging the census.”
The Justice Department is pushing for a question on citizenship to be added to the 2020 census, a move that observers say could depress participation by immigrants who fear that the government could use the information against them. That, in turn, could have potentially large ripple effects for everything the once-a-decade census determines — from how congressional seats are distributed around the country to where hundreds of billions of federal dollars are spent.
The DOJ made the request in a previously unreported letter, dated Dec. 12 and obtained by ProPublica, from DOJ official Arthur Gary to the top official at the Census Bureau, which is part of the Commerce Department. The letter argues that the DOJ needs better citizenship data to better enforce the Voting Rights Act “and its important protections against racial discrimination in voting.”
A Census Bureau spokesperson confirmed the agency received the letter and said the “request will go through the well-established process that any potential question would go through.” The DOJ declined to comment and the White House did not respond to a request for comment.

I’m a LEGAL immigrant and I have no problem with the citizenship question.
which branch of government controls the census.
Democrats controlled the last one with impunity.
Additionally, those "fake" numbers contribute to the Fed's financial support of state welfare and education based on census data.
IIRC, education costs for the criminal invaders is about 1-billion dollars.
General welfare cost (Heritage-Foundation-based on there being ONLY 12-million of them) is about 120-billion dollars. However, since the criminal invader population is closer to 50-million, the more likely cost to the taxpayers is probably closer to a trillion dollars.
OUTSTANDING!!
To democRATS Yes.
“.... observers say could depress participation by immigrants who fear that the government could use the information against them. “
Huffpo, BUT, legal immigrants wouldn’t care, they’d check off “YES” on any citizenship question.
