Trump claims his administration is “absolutely moving forward” with adding a citizenship question to the census
President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed his administration is “absolutely moving forward” with adding a citizenship question to the census, just one day after Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced the question would not be part of the 2020 survey.
The Supreme Court dealt an unexpected blow to the effort last week, ruling that the official explanations for the move were implausible and legally inadequate. While there’s a remote possibility that the citizenship question might resurface in a digital 2020 questionnaire later on, it is generally understood that the paper and digital forms must be the same.
“Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census, in this case for 2020,” Trump tweeted last week. “I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter.
