La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for April 13, 2018

What would the ramifications be if people “protested” by skipping that question even if they are citizens?

I dunno, this could lead to some Norwegian immigrants accidentally getting deported. They shouldn’t have decided not to go with the ‘skin color’ question at the last minute.

I really get upset about the new policy that is happening. It is a real SHAME about the Dreamers but cheat-o really hates people who are not white, male and rich.

The express purpose of the census as explicitly mandated in the Constitution is for the purpose of determining apportionment of legislative districts.

Certainly it is also an excellent opportunity to collect additional demographic data that is useful in determining public policy needs, and one could argue that citizenship vs. non-citizenship is useful demographic data.

But if any aspect of collecting demographic data (not the Constitutionally-stated purpose) interferes with the specific, expressed Constitutional purpose by reducing participation, then collection of that data violates the Constitution.

DD WIZ, there is still the question of who is counted and how (horrible 3/5 legacy)

If you mark Yes, are they going to every home and demand to see the documents?

“Oh, did that question mean citizen of the United States?”
