Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) argued Monday that President Trump's push to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census is an effort to "make America white again" in an adaptation of his campaign slogan.
"This is about keeping — you know his hat — make America white again," Pelosi said at an event in San Francisco about election security legislation, referring to the red "Make America Great Again" hats that are popular among Trump supporters.
Pelosi, like other critics of adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census, argued that it could result in racial minorities being undercounted so that legislative maps can be drawn more favorably for Republicans.
"They want to make sure that people, certain people, are counted. It's really disgraceful. And it's not what our founders had in mind," Pelosi said. "What they want to do is put a chilling effect so certain populations will not answer the form."
President Trump told reporters late last week that he is considering an executive order to ensure the citizenship question is included on the census after the Supreme Court blocked the effort in a ruling last month. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration's argument that the citizenship question is needed to enforce a federal voting rights law didn't hold up to the evidence provided in the case. The court said that the Trump administration would have to offer a different legal justification for adding the question.
The Trump administration initially appeared to relent on pursuing the question. But the Justice Department reversed course last week and said that officials have been ordered to find a way for the Trump administration to include a citizenship question on the census.
House Democrats have been investigating the Trump administration's efforts to add the citizenship question. The House Oversight and Reform Committee voted last month to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas for documents about adding the citizenship question to the census.
I could do without whites like Nasty Pelosi.
Hey white b*tch,off yourself for the cause.
Won’t be for long. Around 2050 whites will be under 50% of the population.
Same thing is happening to Europe.
It’s by design. The socialist and globalist majorities will be impossible to break.
What does Pelosi, the white bitch, have against white people. Inquiring minds would like to know.
There was no welfare state then.
There was an untamed frontier with land aplenty.
There was no ISIS or muslime terrorist cabal.
Laws were enforced and violators punished. Immediately.
This was a largely agricultural economy; industrialization had not yet taken hold.
Immigrants did not dare to demand a cornucopia of benefits; they were expected to be self-sustaining.
You're comparing apples and oranges.
They didn’t have massive welfare systems that we have today. Now we have American taxpayers paying for the healthcare and education of immigrats. That was never the case before. They had to come here, assimilate, and sustain themselves.
Today, these immigrants come from 3rd world countries and leech off our system while voting for more big government.
MALA! Make America Law-abiding Again!
Retire Nancy you just insulted every Black , Brown, Yellow Red etc American
Hey, Nancy, yer Alzheimer’s is showing again!
Actually this more spewing of sewerage from the mouth of “Nanny” Pelosi, the HATER, who has said twice in public ranting that: We don’t even have to listen to anything that the ignorant rubes from flyover country think or say.
(NO quotation marks, as that is NOT an exact quote but it’s close.)
ImVho, anyone who actually believes anything that she says (other than she wants MORE money & power) qualifies as a feckless FOOL of the FIRST order.
Yours, TMN78247
Democrats are such horrible racists.

It's OK to be white.
Tweeted to he that if Whites with ‘sway” were so bad, then she and Joe and Chuck and a LOT of others needed to lead the way and step down...
Census Bureau Data: Non Citizens Earn $9K More Per Year Than Black Americans
Pelosi thinks all citizens are white? She’s gone off the rails again...
I'm missing the obvious, I guess.
