Thank you. By the way NPP is doing better, the lunge infection is almost gone and he will be back to posting probably tomorrow.That will give me time to harvest melons and peas before the rabbits eat them all.

To all posters
What is the big deal about this census question? It could serve no purpose unless it is answered honestly. Honesty is in short supply from what I see. Also an i*****l i*******t does not have to reply to any census. Will the census form include a definition of what "citizen" is? Will it include natural born, green card, temporary visa, etc.? How many more questions will be added over the years and for what reason? Will the government change the need for a 10 year census to a 1 year census? One wonders.

And why must it be eliminated for being r****t while these questions are not.
*What is this person’s ancestry or ethnic origin?
*What is this person’s race?
*Is this person Spanish/Hispanic/Latino?
*a. Does this person speak a language other than English at home?
Yes
No → Skip to 12
b. What is this language?
c. How well does this person speak English?
*Where was this person born?
In the United States — Print name of state.
Outside the United States — Print name of foreign country, or Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.
*When did this person come to live in the United States? Print numbers in boxes.
None of these questions were eliminated. If the issue were r****m, wouldn't asking your race qualify more as r****m than asking if you are a citizen?

R****d? So the census has always been r****d and Obama was the first one to ever notice and UNrig it?
How can it disadvantage people of color who are citizens?
And how can asking your race be acceptable to those crying r****m, yet asking if you are a citizen be r****t?
And no. The census is used for far more than simply knowing how many people are living in the country. If that were all it was, there would be no need for all the myriad questions asked.

Although Article I, Section 2 does not specify that it is citizens which must be counted; it does specify that this will be used to determine each state's representation in the House of Representatives. Since only citizens can v**e, it is logical to conclude the enumeration was to count citizens in each state.
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. 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, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. "

The citizenship question was included on the 1950,1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 census. Why is it a problem now? Because in the past ten years there has been such a huge increase in wetbacks and nearly 3 million anchor babies born to those wetbacks.
Here is an example of what happens when incarcertated prisoners are counted in a census. How they affect the results.

This statement, "Less well reported is the way the census counts prisoners, which results in political distortions that undermine the principle of one person, one v**e." shows the fallacy many are taught in schools. Our country was NOT set up for mob rule. There is NO American principle of one person, one v**e! At least not at the national level. That would make us a democracy instead of a republic.
But other than that blunder, the reasoning in the article is sound.

What is a citizen is very clear defined by our constitution. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
This question is not being added. It is being reinstituted. It is not a new question!
Why would a citizen not answer the question honestly? The constitutional purpose of the census is an enumeration for the purpose of choosing how many representative seats a state gets. For that, we only need an accurate count of citizens. Over the years, many other purposes have been put to the census. But the only purpose required by our constitution is, how many citizens in each state to determine how many seats each state is entitled to in the House of Representatives. So if i******s avoid the census, it won't harm our governing process.
