老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Trump Administration Plan to Include Citizenship Question in 2020 Census
NEW YORK 鈥� The Trump administration announced it will include a question about U.S. citizenship in the 2020 census.
Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, had this reaction:
鈥淭he Trump administration鈥檚 decision to include a question on citizenship in the 2020 census is disastrous. It will severely undermine the accuracy of the census count, particularly in communities of color, which will lose representation and federal resources as a result.
鈥淔ive former directors of the census, serving in both Republican and Democratic administrations, have opposed this decision. The notion that it is necessary for Voting Rights Act enforcement is laughable, given that the census has not included a citizenship question since the enactment of the VRA in 1965. The 老澳门开奖结果 has fought the Trump administration on numerous fronts, and we will fight it here.鈥�
