She writes for a pro Communist ‘Socialist’ publication.

An issue I have from the 50s tries to make the case that Communist groups in America pose no threat to the Anerican way and shouldn’t be seen as anything evil.
Been counting citizens since the mid 60s until Obama changed the 2010 census.
I was taught and brought up to believe that one had to be a citizen in order to VOTE! Apparent for morons, something happened on the way to the forum.
Poor little Shelly. Not much of a writer so she plays the race card. Protect Americans from what b*tch? “Lone wolf” refugees being imported into the U.S. by the communist “democrat” party?
Don't forget Texas, Arizona, Georgia, the Carolinas. etc..
This cuts both ways and isn't as straightforward as it seems. The immigrant population is pretty widely dispersed.
Do you think the census should include the question, are you a citizen?
The response was YES 75%
They've changed the question. It now reads
Do you think such a change would lead to an inaccurate count of immigrants?
And yes I am YELLING in the hope that Chen can hear me.
Yeah - actual factual statistics are never a good thing....especially when one wants to use illegals to up their “representatives” and to “justify” spending money on residents vs. citizens.
Michelle, you ignorant slut!
Why not count heads of visitors to DisneyMGM Florida or the number of people presently in hotels in Vegas?
That is if Rats don’t believe citizen is a necessary condition. The number of transient occupants doesn’t drop off much.
She must have learned that from the “Little Red Book” she carries around.
>>>A nation matching Trump’s vision of “great again” seems increasingly divided by race and borders, and less democratic for native- and foreign-born alike<<<
With a leap like that, I’m surprised she doesn’t have an Olympic Gold Medal in the Pole Vault.
Querying about citizenship would at best make the census process more chaotic and less effective.
Massive ignorance on parade.
The purpose of an accurate census is to count citizens - full stop. If you're here illegally, you don't get to inflate social welfare program budgets for yourself by falsifying census results.
Actually, Obama did that.
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States ... according to their respective Numbers ... . The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years."[1][2]
The United States Census Bureau (officially the Bureau of the Census, as defined in Title 13 U.S.C. § 11) is responsible for the United States Census. The Bureau of the Census is part of the United States Department of Commerce.[3]
The first census after the American Revolution was taken in 1790, under Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; there have been 22 federal censuses since that time.[2] The current national census was held in 2010; the next census is scheduled for 2020 and will be largely conducted using the Internet.[4] For years between the decennial censuses, the Census Bureau issues estimates made using surveys and statistical models, in particular, the American Community Survey.
Title 13 of the United States Code governs how the Census is conducted and how its data are handled. Information is confidential as per 13 U.S.C. § 9. Refusing or neglecting to answer the census is punishable by fines of $100, for a property or business agent to fail to provide correct names for the census is punishable by fines of $500, and for a business agent to provide false answers for the census is punishable by fines of $10,000, pursuant to 13 U.S.C. § 221-224.
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. The Census Bureau bases its decision about whom to count on the concept of usual residence. Usual residence, a principle established by the Census Act of 1790, is defined as the place a person lives and sleeps most of the time.
Oh REALLY???
The Democrats have a long history of trying to count non-citizens to inflate their power in Congress. They did this with the slaves, too, wanting them to count fully where districting, thus political power, is concerned, but not allowing them any rights.
No one should be surprised by how little the Democrats have changed since they were the party of slavery.
Is this woman a registered foreign agent?
