BREAKING: Federal Judge Declines to Block Citizenship Question from US 2020 Census
The Gateway Pundit ^ | February 10, 2019 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/10/2019 10:59:56 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A federal judge ruled on Friday the US government can include citizenship question on the US Census. It makes complete sense so Democrats are against it.

It also affects how much federal funding the sanctuary communities will receive from American taxpayers. So, of course, Democrats are against this.

Outline reported:

A federal judge ruled late Friday she is unconvinced of an immediate need to block a citizenship question from the 2020 census over privacy concerns.

US District Judge Dabney Friedrich declined to issue a preliminary injunction requested by a privacy and civil liberties nonprofit group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center.

The group argued that the US Census Bureau was required to complete a privacy impact assessment before Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced the addition of the question.

In response, the government acknowledged it is required to update its privacy impact assessments, but must do so before collecting census responses, rather than before deciding what questions would appear.

Excellent News But here’s a question that shou;d not appear
One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race or nationality or tribal background.By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority.

I doubt illegals have participated in the census of the past. One will only know the result AFTER the census.

Households that do not return the census forms are personally visited by Census Takers (I was one in the 2000 Census). I was often presented with Mexican Photo IDs when filling out the forms here in Central Florida. I had far more problems with drunks and druggies cooperating than with illegals!!!

The forms are confidential by law (as if that matters in 2019...) and do not become public for 72 years after filed.

Why would illegals check no? I would guess most trash them anyway. I believe the number of illegals is staggering. The sanctuary states are automatically giving illegals citizenship with automatic asylum, licenses,benefits,voting rights,minority status etc that is putting many Americans in second class status. One of the reasons the left is furious over Clinton losing and the DNC push for illegals now is because they know it is the ticket to crushing America which is more specifically crushing Conservatives/Constitutionalists.

Texas, Florida and the rest of the southern and Midwest Red states should offer cash incentives to non-citizen to migrate to dark blue states prior to the census. Make them get injected with an RFID chip and have it checked weekly to make sure they haven’t returned.

It appears the “democrats” don’t want their “11 million” number going in the toilet and the true numbers of illegals aliens coming out.

You appear to be assuming they'll answer truthfully (if at all).

Don’t worry Chief Justice Roberts will vote with the Liberals to overturn the lower judge!

IIRC, the citizenship question was on census forms from 1890-1950. I think it never should have been removed.

CJ Roberts needs to resign because he is a puppet for the Dems/etc who have his control file.

“There was a time not long ago when every detail of our lives wasn’t decided by “federal judges.” This is our ruination.

When I was young, I think I was blissfully unaware we even had federal judges. They toiled in obscurity as it should be.”

just one of the many ways that the Dems are stealing this country.

The level of government meddling in American lives is appalling, unconscionable, and unconstitutional.

Since these sanctuary cities basically
told Trump to stuff it when he threatened
to cut off their funding, I am thinking
by placing the citizen question back on
the census, that it’s a legal way to
control it. If someone refuses to fill
it out, they can be fined as much as
$5,000. Though no one has been fined
since 1970, Trump my decide to pursue
a more rigorous enforcement. Sanctuary
cities beware.
