waiting to hear from justice jessica schneider what happened in the justice case. these can be very complex so we re taking our time. going through them. as well we should. you can look down and read it too. jeffrey, in the moments you have off here to give us your analysis, elizabeth, to you, people might not know but this question was on the census until 1950. so that s also a big part of what the court is, go ahead, ron? go ahead. it s never been asked to the whole country. i believe exactly. it s never been asked in the way that the administration wants to use it. it s unprecedented. go ahead, elizabeth, and explain that difference that ron is saying it has not been asked to the whole country in this way. yes, so there have been some questions asked in other inquiries that the census bureau puts out. the community surveys, but
distinction. our government, congress did make the distinction because they wanted to know how many citizens are in all of our districts and they created the annual american community surveys. when we re talking about the u.s. census bureau, the last time we had the census, this is internal census documents now public, they undercounted latinos by 1.5% is, african-americans by 2%, undercounted african-americans by 4%. that was 2010. this time we have such a politicized environment where people are afraid of donald trump s deportation force and feel betrayed by daca. there s so much mistrust with the government. as the going to depress turnout among many latin knows. in this country we have stipulated say between 9 and 16 million mixed status family. that will be a family where maybe the children are citizens but the parents are undocumented. in many of those families they ll throw it away there s such fear and anxiety about the government.
