According to Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross' own experts, the inclusion of the citizenship question will result in a loss of 6.5 million Americans from the census #Census2020
Why is the #Census2020 citizenship question so dangerous? According to a memorandum to Eric Holder from the Justice Department, under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, census information can be used for investigating non-U.S. persons. #Census2020
It goes beyond ICE. #KKKobach has been up front about why he wants the citizenship question on #Census202. In fact, they used it in court... They said, we need this question to enforce the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act.
How does that census question help to enforce the Voting Rights Act? The answer is that these laws require that the voter rolls be accurate. From #KKKobach's view, that means removing the two million supposed aliens that he claims are on the voter rolls.
But we know, in reality, from #KKKobach's work on #Crosscheck, that just means removing millions of people with common names like Garcia, Washington, Ho, and Hernandez to whitewash the voter rolls. rollingstone.com/politics/polit… #Census202
