The man who ran the 2000 census for the Clinton administration predicted Friday that more than 24 million people may refuse to take part in the 2020 count now that the survey is going to ask about citizenship status.
Robert Shapiro, who was under secretary at the Commerce Department during the 2000 count, called the decision to ask about citizenship “dangerous.”
He predicted 6.8 million illegal immigrants will duck the count altogether, as would about half of the 8.8 million legal residents who live in a household with an illegal immigrant present. The other half, he said, will likely lie and claim the illegal immigrants are citizens, further distorting the count.

Mr. Shapiro said the losses could cost immigrant-heavy states such as California and Texas seats in Congress, while poor states that rely heavily on government assistance programs such as Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky and West Virginia would suffer the loss of funding.

Good.
They say this like its a bad thing...
Regardless of which from you get, only put the essentials. You will probably get a visit like I did last time. Poor gal was nearly in tears by the time she left my driveway. And not from laughing. I did feel a little bad. Just a little.
The liberals sure have had a major temper tantrum over a simple question on a census form.
“more than 24 million people may refuse to take part in the 2020 count now that the survey is going to ask about citizenship status.”
What? But haven’t we been told there are only 11 million illegals in the country? They weren’t lying to us were they?
Well, the question of “are you a Citizen of the US” is answered with no fanfare.
Good. Then they should leave..................
Bogus census information will certainly interfere with addressing infrastructure improvement, school upgrades, hospital services, fire department and police populations, etc.
BUT ... if that’s what they want!!
Interesting the number used is 24 MM. That is the number of illegals estimated by anti-Open Borders groups. This guy admits the estimate of around 10 - 12 MM illegals the media touts is a 100% low balling the true number.
Robert Shapiro
A deranged Leftist who’s hardly American himself.
Recall his threats about not answering all the intrusive questions on the last census.
That’s the point.
They’ll just lie and say they are citizens. They are already breaking the law by being in the country illegally, so I assume they will have no problem breaking the law by lying on the census.
I think that 24 million number is pretty close to the number of illegals here.
The 11 million number is BS. They’ve been using it for 25 years.
I omit the questions I don’t like.
So what happened? Of course you gave the basics for the census count. Were they asking more detailed questions? I’ve never been visited by a census taker.
WINNING....
However I expect a black-robed tyrant to order the question removed in 5..4..3.......
Ha! You noticed that too.
