The Trump administration announced Monday night it will be reinstating a citizenship question to the decennial census in 2020, prompting threats of lawsuits by prominent Democrats.
Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra separately announced they will file respective lawsuits to stop the citizenship question from being asked during the census.
Holders statement called the move by the Trump administration a direct attack on our representative democracy.
Becerra called the decision, illegal.
The Commerce Department, which oversees the census, issued a statement announcing the decision:
Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that a question on citizenship status will be reinstated to the 2020 decennial census questionnaire to help enforce the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

California thieves are stealing voting repruaction from states with leag residents. They are thieves please and simple.
I wonder what would happen if La Raza demanded that all areas with a Hispanic population be separated from the US?
What would happen if La Raza formed a California Liberation Organization, or a La Raza Liberation Organization?
What would happen if La Raza formed a cooperating alliance (umbrella group) with BLM, OWS, Antifa, and the socialist organizations in the US?
What would happen if this umbrella group demanded that the Second Amendment be repealed, and the Constitution replaced?
What would happen if this umbrella group also demanded that the President be impeached, and all law enforcement officers be disarmed?
What would happen if one of the major political parties. and the MSM took up the call for all of the above?
Would the population of the US wake up?
“reinstating a citizenship question to the decennial census in 2020”
The Dems don’t want the public to know how many of their electoral votes are allocated based upon illegals.
I contend that the illegals do not know the difference between ‘citizen’ & ‘residence’.
These actions by Holder & the state AG of Calif prove just how corrupt the Dems really are.

Go, Trump!
What will happen here...unless the Supremes tell Trump he can’t do this...is that a under-count will occur in blue-states (highly dependent on population counts to get more House members).
I don’t think any foundation has ever done a research project like this....to say that the citizen count in California is only 90-percent of ‘all’ citizen count would be. If this were true in states like NY, California, Texas, and Florida...then they’d all lose a minimum of two House members each.
But the other thing is that the procedure used to build the gerrymandering maps for placement of House members, would also come into play very quickly. Judges would then be forced to accept the citizen question and I would take a guess that 50-percent of all districts would end up being redrawn because of accusations.

ANY elected official using such verbiage should immediately be forced to resign.
Rep. democracy?? Though, the (R)N(C) isn’t much better, if at all, about countering the message.
Course, I guess not. That might start People THINKING

The census has long been perverted from its original mission of enumeration. With the scores of non-germane questions already asked, I dont know the basis of the objection to asking about citizenship. Unless they are afraid the revelation that 11 million is ridiculously fake.

I believe it, like the DACA DB, may show how the data can be used to round-up said criminals. Showing how it can be done vs. their anti-2nd A agenda just calls attention they don’t want.
The left is worried that the Trump administration will quantify the dollar cost per citizen of keeping illegals in the country. When voters find out it is costing several thousand dollars out of their pockets, every year, their tolerance for democrat concern for illegal aliens will collapse.
The CA Rats hired Holder and his Rat law firm to represent CA in this matter.
To sue someone is the biggest pass time in California a lot of slackers ended up in fat city by doing so.
They’ve already done all of those things.
Becerra, de Leon, Padilla and Rendon are all former members of MEChA, the “student movement of Aztlan”, which claims the old boundaries of Spanish North America is actually the ancient Aztec land of Aztlan, and therefore the property of the Mexican people.
The analogy to the PLO is exact. But unlike the PLO, the Israeli’s don’t allow their members to occupy any positions in the Knesset or the government of Israel.
No sane nation would.
We shouldn’t either.
It’s amazing how scared they are of being exposed. To think that the President got rid of Kobach’s group to investigate voter fraud. I’d love to see the results and how they match up against the census questionnaire, voter rolls and who voted.

You know you got it right when Eric Holder sues you!

We have no “democracy,” we have a republic.
>>If you are NOT a citizen, are you entitled to representation? <<
Actually, yes, and it’s always been that way.
The census counts citizens, non-citizen residents, and long-term non-citizen visitors. Unfortunately, it also counts illegal aliens.
Now, since they’re here illegally, they should just be deported, or else a way should be found to let them establish themselves in one of the other three categories above.
Instead, they’re just counted along with everyone else and, yes, given representation in both Congress and the Electoral College.
I’m not even certain that the Supreme Court would rule otherwise, given precedent, so the obvious answer is to control our borders and eject anyone here illegally who can’t be sorted into one of the other categories by legal means.
Absent that, plan on CA having at least one more EV and Congressman than it should and, not so incidentally, one other state (probably a red state) having one less of each than it should.
If one is asked by a census-taker if one is an Alien, how should Space Aliens reply?
Electoral college is based upon the census. Of course Kalifonia wants their illegals counted.
Bush league Republicans will blame Trump
The Bushes themselves will say nothing. W will have his ghost painter paint something else; the daughters will attend a Planned Parenthood fundraiser; ma/pa will attend an event with the Clintons down at the ole swamp.
