The Supreme Court decided that the question could be asked and that the Secretary of Commerce has the authority to put it on the Census form. Settled. What is going on right now is a partisan attempt to delay it for another 10 years using every tool in their toolbox. The Democrats know how many non citizens are in the country. The ACS sample tells them the answer, but the public won't pay attention to a sample. They will pay attention to a Census question and when they find out the answer, they will demand that the government do something about it. The Democrats want to keep the truth a secret.
I agree. My point is that there is NO reason NOT to ask the question on the general census, and that the ACS is precedent to do it. If it is asked of some, it should be asked of all.
