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.

I didnt think so.
THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO CONSIDERS MEXICANS ON US SOIL TO BE MEXICAN CITIZENS SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
A sworn affidavit by Mexico's Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico's official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system.
The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad." US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.
==========================================
Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.
Its time the US govt look after the interests of American citizens.
Simply asking the question doesn't mean that those who answer "no" aren't counted in the census.

Democrats whine about “foreign intervention” in our elections but see no problem in foreigners voting.
* * *
No truer words were ever said about their deceit.
Since it is voter suppression to ask if you are a citizen, I can’t wait to see the vote returns come in from Russia...
“ Why are Dems not concerned about illegal votes?”
Because those are their votes.
It's estimated that >25% of Californias Federal matching funds for Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment, food stamps, CHIPS, WIC, and other welfare goes to illegal aliens. US citizens are getting financially raped by illegals.
[Democrats whine about “foreign intervention” in our elections but see no problem in foreigners voting.]
Nail on the head!
The only foreign election intervention they agree with is millions of illegals voting.
Democrats do 'get it'... Liz. They're lying for advantage and to keep their useful idiots in line.
They are revealing themselves. Unfortunately the GOPe won’t use this.
Dude, they already consider it voter suppression that citizens of ALL other countries cannot vote here.
They are nucking futz.
That number is bullsh!t. They have used that number for 20 years. It has to be at least closer to 50 million.
Besides that, how did they arrive at that number? Did they COUNT them?
Perez, just tell us to our face what you plan to do with non-citizens.
They aren’t, because the political establishment is a criminal enterprise, and we are the enemy.
They are really close to getting their new voter base for life to be able to vote. It was very frustrating to watch them spew their talking points on TV yesterday.
I do not think Perez is a total idiot but he likely believes the effect of such a question will be to decrease a state’s population for House representation not keeping illegals from voting. States like Cal, NY, Ill, NJ and yes Texas he fears would see their House numbers decrease if the Census reported fewer citizens. Of course the dumb thing about this is that the Constitution Art One only says numbers of persons and not citizens when apportioning the House. However the phrase Indians not taxed might, by a clever constitutional lawyer, be applied to illegals on the theory that they are citizens of a foreign nation and subject to it. Indeed Mexico’s present President and its past President, Fox, by their statements and interventions contribute to that fact. And that could result in a significant decrease in the representation of some, mostly Dem, states.
THIS IS THE TWILIGHT ZONE!
The long form survey was stopped in 2010, but see question 13 on this link to the public informational version of the 2010 long form census survey at the census.gov website.

Let’s count Chairman Perez’ brain cells. It wouldn’t take both hands and both feet to do it.
You know, government and politicians want all kinds of data (personal data), even at totally non-relevant places, for example,
Last time I got a flu shot at work, I had to answer if I am a Hispanic or not.
I wonder why such question was never posted on tax return forms ...... no ethnic question whatsoever when I am paying my taxes, and filing for refunds.
