Almost daily, I see the continuing controversy regarding a citizenship question on the 2020 Census. The solution is so simple.
If you are living in the United States and are not a citizen, be sure to complete the forms. When you get to the question about citizenship, just think of what the president would do: Lie. He is able to get away with it, and so will you.
The Census is a count of the total number of people living within the borders of the United States. No one can take away your right to be counted as a legal resident, whether you are a citizen or not.
If you are a non-legal resident, you’re on your own. Gain legal status or leave. Citizens and legal residents are footing the bills for your kids to go to school and your medical care.
For the Trump administration to still be seeking to add this question to the Census, when the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the administration cannot, is outrageous.
This will go on until Congress and president work on resolving the major immigration issues that the United States have faced for decades.
