Well in all the developments u. S. President donald trump has asked for the 2020 census to be delayed so that edition all information can be provided to the Supreme Court after the court blocked his proposal to add a controversial question on citizenship to the population count. And explains from washington. Ok. Outside the u. S. Supreme court a small but passionate protest for what would seem a monday and bureaucratic issue the u. S. Census taken every 10 years this time for 2020 the u. S. Administration wanted to add a question are you a u. S. Citizen by the governments own estimates as many as 6000000 people mostly hispanic would be counted if the question was added for fear they would be deported and that would have real world impacts theyre just going to vanish from our nations population count just to put that in perspective it would be at like if our 18th largest state just went poof it will so severely damaged the accuracy of the census but 6 states are at risk of losing a seat in the house of representatives and the census determines more than just how many congressmen the state house it determines how much federal money it gets but were talking about crucial things like a persons ability to Access Health Care Services a persons ability to Access Services to put food on the table. Ability for our schools to be adequately funded so were talking about you know life and death issues but Trump Officials have defended the proposal this is a question thats been included in every census since 1965 with the exception of 2010 when it was removed that was untrue on several levels there was no census in 1965 then it hasnt been a question since 1950 almost 70 years ago the Supreme Court found she wasnt the only one lying finding the commerce secretary lied when he said he added the question because he was concerned about voter fraud in the court ruled that the Citizenship Question could be asked if there was a valid reason u. S. President donald trump tweeted out his displeasure saying he was going to ask his lawyers to delay the census they cant it is literally in the constitution making it seem likely that the question wont be asked in 2020 but it could be one day political haint aljazeera washington.
