“Is it a felony to lie to the census taker and say you are a citizen (when you are not)? “
Not if you vote for the democrat.
It probably should be but if it is, I have several ancestors who should probably have been in jail. If you study family history you learn that census data is not always the most reliable. Between lazy and incompetent census takers and ancestors who embellish their replies (one of my great grandmothers was born in 1859 according to her tombstone, 1858 according to the 1860 census and 1863 in the 1920 census). I've come to distrust any data point that doesn't recur over multiple years.
Census forms have changed a lot over the years depending on what the government wanted to know. The 1790 census was a simple list of free men and how many people lived in their house. By the late 19th century they had added a lot of details, including names of each child, where people, and their parents, were born, occupation, literacy, and marital status. In 1940, the most recent census on line, the era of mass immigration was over but because of the depression there was a great deal of internal displacement so the questions about where your parents were born went away but they wanted to know where you lived in 1935.
I hope King gets the citizenship question added to the form and that they re-instate the parent's place of birth questions. It's useful for future researchers.
Yes, and NO question about M*SLIM!!!! (They would not use the word m*slim - they plan to ask: “Middle Eastern or North African (MENA)” which is close enough to m*slim to be actually asking about m*slim without using the word.)
How about everyone being AMERICAN and stop focussing on country of ancestors!
What’s one more lie?
