So people are upset because they want to know whether or not you are a citizen? Can someone say "Much ado about nothing"?

Trump is just attempting to put things back the way were before Obama changed things up......

 

March 27, 2018 

There's a lot of whining from certain individuals, groups, and anti-American factions of the U.S. media, because the 2020 U.S. Census WILL ask about Citizenship-Immigration status. 

What they don't tell you, is that the Citizenship question has been a part of EVERY U.S. CENSUS from 1850 to 2000. The Barack Hussein Obama administration REMOVED this question from the 2010 census. (fyi.. The U.S. population count/census is taken every 10 years.) 

What is striking in the 2010 census form is the lack of citizenship or birthplace question. 

It appears that this is the first census to omit this inquiry. Question 13 of the 2000 census form specifically asked the following.: 
Is this person a CITIZEN of the United States? 
-Yes, born in the United States—>Skip to 15a 
-Yes, born in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Northern Marianas 
-Yes, born abroad of American parent or parents 
-Yes, a U.S. citizen by naturalization 
-No, not a citizen of the United States 

The 2010 Census website explains the issue, but fails to answer why the form changed suddenly this year. While it may be Constitutional to count every person living in the United States, it should not preclude the Census Bureau from knowing what is the legal status of those living in the country. 

SOURCE - From January 11, 2010: www.washingtontimes.com... 

Just like today, the media was extremely liberal in 2010. They didn't report the sudden removal of the Citizenship question from the 2010 Census, because they knew why the Obama Administration did it. More Democratic voters, and potentially more taxpayer dollars to Blue states, like California. In addition, the Obama Administration could not be held accountable for allowing many millions of law-breaking non-citizens to enter and live in the United States, if Congress had no idea how many were here, and where they were living. 

The Obama Administration thought Americans were too stupid to know they were being screwed by ObamaCare, and too dumb to understand the significance of removing the citizenship question from the 2010 U.S. census. To Obama's dismay, Americans proved him wrong, and voted most Democrats out of office, all over the country, from 2010 thru 2016. 

Thanks to the Donald Trump Administration, the 2020 U.S. Census will return to tradition, and ask about citizenship, like it did from 1850 to 2000.

Coorslight, thank you for sharing this information.  Liberals want to throw everything out of line and cause chaos.
