How could it be anti american, it was like the first things the US did as a sovereign state?I don't think it's a problem that the question is in the survey. I'm not sure the census is important in the first place. Seems anti-American.

I think the census itself is benign, but the question is will that data be used to target illegal immigrants for incarceration or deportation? In the present political climate I don’t think illegal immigrants will be inclined to participate or to do so truthfully which could skew whatever data is collected from them if any. Even skipping the question could be telling. The severity of the situation will differ between those who are pro or anti illegal immigrant, and it will also depend upon how the information is intended to be used.How severe a problem is the Citizenship Question on the Census?
It was on there off and on, I did read an Axios article on that last week, interestingly the media coverage on the consistency of the asking is kinda sparse. Just about everything I was hearing stressed that money spent by congress and the apportionment of US house of reps was based on total population. But I just heard about a provision in the voting rights act of 1965 that relies on populations of actual votersThe question used to be on the census. The question we now have to ask ourselves: was it removed for good reason?
Good question. I got it but didn’t complete it last year. It was boring and long.What are the good reasons its been used for so far? What are the bad?
is there not a "this is too boring to finish" question?Good question. I got it but didn’t complete it last year. It was boring and long.
I didn’t answer. I was afraid I’d be deported by people shouting at me to go to another country where the census is more interesting.is there not a "this is too boring to finish" question?
was he freelancing?I had a co-worker who went door to door asking folks to fill it out. He seemed to think it was a good job, but he never said how useful the census itself was.
No it’s was a temp job. I guess it’s a seasonal thing after all so that makes sense.was he freelancing?
