Bill Clinton’s Census Asked About Citizenship

Former President Bill Clinton’s Department of Commerce asked about citizenship in their 2000 census.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez said that asking a citizenship question on the census was “a craven attack on our democracy and a transparent attempt to intimidate immigrant communities.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the decision violated the Constitution.

However, the 2000 U.S. Census long-form questionnaire, which went out to an “average of one in six households,” included questions about citizenship.

Where was the Democrats’ outrage in 2000 over questions about citizenship?

The Dems always call us racists and Nazis for supporting the same policies that they claimed to support a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, twenty years ago, or even last week.

Everyone should fill out a short form, no more than 2 pages long. Anything else is obtrusive.

I had to answer the long form 2000 census.

I'm still traumatized over having to reveal where I was born and whether I was a US citizen.

Constantly changing definitions of bigotry is a form of brainwashing.

Their goal is to destroy your cognitive independence so that you look to leftist leadership to tell you what to think.

Think of it as socipaths in action.

That really is it.

As governor Bill Clinton was able to profile Hispanics and lead riot control efforts against Cubans at Fort Chaffee.

The Dixiecrats pitched a fit over the Vietnamese at Ft. Chaffee, too. Clinton said all the right things.

Citizenship is a normal question on a census... has been since they came to America long time ago... we have lost track of who lives here since obama and the flooding of our southern borders.

Perez is an a-hole hypocrite. They love the “democracy” of a open borders country that is a clump of people in a sh*t salad. The “melting pot” in a Republic is not what they want because it goes against their ideology.

The long form is different. But I am glad they are giving it to everyone. However some judge will stop it. We can’t have nice things.

The reason for my confusion?
In America, once the Republicans were noted by blue; democrats, red.
Today - it’s just the opposite.

In the past, Earthly astronomers taught us we had but 9 planets in our solar system.

Today, we’ve increased/decreased the count giving us little hope of actually knowing the truth. Now, it’s only a calculated guess.

The list could continue but this is ludicrous.
