U.S. Census - Citizenship Question

U.S. Census - Citizenship Question

U.S. Census - Citizenship Question


Something that has been in the news I have viewed on Alphabet's YouTube has been discussions about the U.S. Citizenship question included every ten years. Did some background and found some information I would like to post. The reason the citizenship question is asked is to determine the number of citizens in each Congressional District. This keeps representation fair. This information also helps protect non-citizens here legally as guests, (a.k.a. : law-abiding guests) and foreign infiltrators here in the United States illegally (a.k.a. : criminals) from casting a ballot.

To me, learning if the citizenship question was something new and un-tested was important. ABOVE: The screen shot from the U.S. Census information site illustrates the past inclusion of the citizenship question in our census data. Alongside helping to determine representation in our Congress and voting legitimacy Federal Funds, are apportioned according to the need of our citizens (education funding, infrastructure funding, and social welfare funding). Citizens have the right to receive their fair share, in my opinion.

IMPORTANT

Because of the census of citizens of the United States Of America, we can tabulate how many eligible citizens did not cast their ballot during the 2016 Presidential Election Cycle. Voting is one of the few responsibilities alongside obeying the law required.
