Hey, you jerk, why are we as tax paying citizens not allowed to know how many parasitic invaders are in our country? It was a question on every census until Mohamad Barack Huissen Osama Obama removed it. Now why did your hero change something so important and fundamental?

No matter what you wish, the job of the census is not to find anything beyond how many people live in our country..
citizenship questions are sent to about 30 to 40 percent of people in most states.. that is the ACS.. and that is used for a tally by the govt.. the adding of the question to the census is one more incredibly stupid thing your orange cult leader has done to get your attention..
that was the purpose when it was made a law and remains so to this day.
NO, President Obama did not remove the question. that is one more of the never ending lies the right wing dreams up for no apparent purpose..
It's been close to 70 years since a citizenship question has been included among the census questions for every U.S. household.
In fact, the U.S. census has never before directly asked for the citizenship status of every person living in every household.
The wording of the question the Trump administration wants to ask comes from a survey the Census Bureau began conducting annually in every county after the 2000 census with about 1 in 38 households — the American Community Survey, which has since replaced the census as the government's way of collecting citizenship information.
How the federal government has used the census in the past to ask about citizenship status has varied over the years. For decades, the census asked only about the citizenship status of people born outside the U.S. who were later naturalized, or became U.S. citizens.
From the first time in 1820 to the most recent in 2000, when only a small sample of households were asked, questions about citizenship on the census have had a history of stops and starts, twists and turns over 200 years.
