om Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, joins MSNBC's MTP Daily to discuss the citizenship question being added to the 2020 census.
Guest host Katy Tur asked Perez shouldn't it matter who is a citizen of this country, in terms of representation, and who is not.
Perez said trying to figure out who and who is not a citizen is a "scare tactic" and called it "voter suppression" to only county U.S. citizens in the census. He said not counting non-citizens will hurt "funding formulas."
(snip)
They want to change it to count the number of U.S. citizens so that they can engage in very not subtle voter suppression. That is illegal and that is totally inconsistent with what the north star of the census in Republican and Democratic administration has been.
It's been about accuracy. That's why you see folks from the Bush administration and other Republicans who are calling out this complete overreach. I mean Donald Trump before this announcement was made was already fund raising off of this.
This is just another divide-and-conquer effort. This is a first cousin of this voter I.D. law to make sure that African-Americans and Latinos can't vote. This is not who we are as a nation. This is not why people died for the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

It is such a stretch. I can understand Democrats’ upset about the ‘citizenship’ question, because their livelihood totally depends on it, but this is incredulous !
In case Chairman Perez doesn't know, ONLY US citizens can vote in an election (local laws saying otherwise is not legal and can be challenged).
If your voters are not citizens then yes it is voter suppression. Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?
So, which way is it, you scumbag Perez?
And let us pray that he keeps his mouth on full open.
He is sorta like having a cow bell on yer cow just so ya don't lose track of her.
Talk about a moron!
Based on 22 Million non-citizens in the U.S., the dems could lose about 40 congressional districts and 40 electoral votes if non-citizens are excluded from the count for federal electoral purposes. Plus they could lose a lot of voter fraud votes later on.
PLEASE! DNC/Marxist Media keep going down this road. It is a major losing proposition with voters.
Maybe I am on a bad acid trip or something but is this a joke?
Democrats are openly fighting for the rights of foreigners over US citizens. Every day we hear a hundred stories about how the election was swayed because of Russia. Yet here they are demanding that we have open election fraud.
Indeed. The question answers itself.
He’s right. It is voter suppression. We want to suppress voting by people who cannot legally vote because they are not citizens. Why should we make voter fraud easier?
Based on 22 Million non-citizens in the U.S...........
*********
That’s about 6% of the population ,, if just half (3%) stop voting that swing would be decisive in more districts than you estimated...
How in heavens name is this voter suppression???
OTOH, basing Apportionment on a count that includes non-citizens who cannot vote is a clear Equal Representation violation of the Constitution IMHO. It gives disproportionate representation to Congressional Districts with a high concentration of non-citizens (dare I say illegals?)
I wonder what color the sky is in the universe where he resides?
The DNC and left in general have lost whatever tenuous grip they ever had on reality and rationality!
That's right you jack-off. We have EVERY intention of suppressing the votes of illegal immigrants!
No wonder some Dems are worried about the upcoming election. They are nincompoops to all but the party faithful. And even a lot of them think they are nincompoops, but can never vote republican.
Come to think about it, as a former republican, that’s how I see a lot of them. Most, actually. But they really have nobody that can supply the constant comedy of the likes of Maxine Waters, etc.
If you lie to the census taker you get deported
They've been doing so for decades...right out in the open...with the cheerful assistance of open borders Republicans.
The White House never said they wouldn’t count illegals. They just want to put a line on the form to request that illegals note they are such. Another BS lie from the left...
There, that's more truthful. Perez is one of the few I'd buy a ticket to watch get beaten to a pulp. If one could buy a ticket to actually perform said beating it would be a bargain at any price.
The very sad truth is half of the electorate agrees with him.
