(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Commerce for U.S. Census Bureau records concerning the agency’s hiring of non-U.S. citizens to help conduct the 2020 Census (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Commerce (No. 1:19-cv-03433)).

The lawsuit was filed after the Census Bureau delayed responding to a September 12, 2019, FOIA request for more than two months. Judicial Watch seeks:

Unreal. The very basis of how representation in our Congress is allocated. Utterly unforgivable to place such power in the hands of foreigners.

He has been trying to do a lot, and has managed to apparently decrease the numbers of invaders, but this one is on Trump. They are on a time constraint to do the Census, but they should not be hiring foreigners for this.

Who is Deep State Tim Olsen?

Per the article:

“There are flexibilities within the Appropriation Act that would permit, for example, based on language requirements, some exemptions,” says Tim Olson, associate director for field operations at the Census Bureau. “We are actively working through those flexibilities to see if they can be used in 2020. We are not there yet.”

The number of people interviewed by non-citizen census-takers, presumably in a foreign language, would give a rough estimate of the number of foreigners resident in each state.

I just found a power point presentation by Tim Olsen...

His job is to meet with congress to fight people with your opinion...(mine too)

Per his powerpoint:
Sometimes there has been a bad experience with an interviewer

Some have exceptionally strong and expressive political views

One more example of that calculated, coinage, “multiculturalism,” which has been used as the excuse for all manner of preference-giving
to non-whites, non-straights, and non-citizens.

Why doesn’t the White House take over the census...as was done in 2010?
