Democrats run scared over census citizenship question |
2018-03-29 |
[American Thinker] Apparently, asking people in the U.S. whether they are citizens of the U.S. or not, in the decennial census, is presenting a big crisis for Democrats. According to left-leaning Mike Allen's top ten morning stories, citing a New York Times article: Fear? Is Allen really hearing that they have fear? Not just consider it important, but consider it an existential threat to their power? Apparently, so. The argument goes that illegals won't answer the census out of fear that their immigration status will be found out and then not be counted in the census. If a lot of them refuse, then Democrats could lose seats in Congress. It says a lot about the base of the Democratic Party that non-citizens are that important to them, the very basis of why they are in office at all. Talk about foreign influence in the U.S. elections. What kind of party seeks to exert immense power over the lives of citizens through leftwing policies, yet doesn't even have a citizen base to back their power? |

#6 When you allow illegals in for a long time hoping they'll be able to vote and suddenly the rug is pulled out from under you. |

#4 The US Census (IIRC) has asked residents to say whether or not they were citizens in ALL the censuses up through & including 1950. For the bulk of the history of the USA, this was the standard. This article on the issue by NPR is "inaccurate, incomplete and misleading" to quote their own words against them. |

#1 The State of Texas can ask you if you are a citizen prior to you serving on a jury. If you can't serve on a jury, you ain't my "peer". |
