Wilbur Ross Keeps Winning for Trump's Economic Nationalist Agenda
2018-04-02
[Breitbart] Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has proven himself to be one of President Trump’s greatest allies in the quest for economic nationalism with his defiance of the Washington, D.C., political establishment in deciding to add the citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
Balding old white men. What can they possibly know ?
Ross’s Commerce Department announced this week that he would mandate that the 2020 Census ask respondents whether or not they are American citizens in order to gather more accurate data on the U.S. population and to better enforce the Voting Rights Act.

Since 1950, the citizenship question has not been asked on the full Census, leaving the nation without an exact estimate of how many citizens are in the country and how many noncitizens and illegal aliens are in the country.

On Friday, a group of panelists on the Census Scientific Advisory Committee wrote to the Census Bureau’s Acting Director, Ron Jarmin, to claim that the citizenship question would depress Census response rates.

#5  ...men have found that out on campus. Nothing happens other than more policies telling you to leave.

#4  What if you found out that you're actually a minority? :-)

#3  We keep hearing the old estimate that there are 12 million illegal aliens in the country. What happens when they find out it's more like 50 million? But then, will the census workers have any effective and efficient way to confirm that people who claim to be citizens really are?

In a country driven by polls and statistics, a number long overdue.

#1  ....claim that the citizenship question would depress Census response rates by non-citizens.

Self adjusting the subsequent apportionment.
