Remind me, is it Slate or is it Salon that publishes from an insane asylum?
In before the “Roberts is a liberal” crowd...
Illegal is NOT a race. It is an immigration status!! We have illegals here from all over the world and they all need to be deported. They do not need to be counted by our census, they should not count for House seats, not be able to vote on anything!!
I wonder what the city swimming pool in Jackson is like these days. Our city pool is a good place to get mugged or raped.
I think it’s “Salon”. I stopped reading it very early on once I realized that they can’t spell “Saloon” right.
A few years back, in Fall River, MA (Lizzie Borden’s home town), a body was at the bottom of a city pool for a few days, before somebody noticed it.
And yes, people were using the pool. Great cleaning schedule. And, they should have called Culligan.
This question simply asks if you are a US citizen, nothing more.
I does NOT ask if you are here illegally.
Muller must be a complete moron.
Apparently the media and lunatic left has a new definition of Jim Crow that I am not familiar with.

The census is used to apportion voting districts and federal handouts.
Is it fair to the citizens of this country to increase the political power of districts that have high numbers of non-citizens? Is it fair to the citizens to dole out federal dollars on the basis that those districts contain high numbers of aliens?
I do not see much difference in the left wanting to increase political power based on non-citizens and their past attempts to increase their political power based on the numbers of slaves (who had no rights as citizens) in their districts. In both cases, they were using non-citizens (and those who had no rights) to expand their political influence and power. How is that remotely ethical?
Slate is the one that is openly pro-pedophilia.
Whoops no sorry it’s Salon that is openly pro-pedophilia.
Easy to mix them up.
There are actually two different census forms, a short one that is sent to all US households, and a long one that is sent to a scientific sample of about 20% of households and contains a broad range of questions that go beyond the short form. The long form has always contained a question on US citizenship so there is no legal basis for claiming that this question has some racist intent. Although every resident is required by law to answer all questions and return the form as a practical matter no one has been prosecuted for failing to respond. The only penalty is for misrepresenting or lying about information on the form.
Both? :)
The constitutionality of the citizenship question may become a moot point. I am sure the progressive brain trust can come up with a way to implement proper “coaching” to have certain population groups answer the citizenship question in an appropriate way.
I know I’m a teen, but I think I could write an article better than these experts can. Ah hell, my 9 year old brother can ..
The people who collect the ACS forms are VERY insistent. ;-)
