HUGE CENSUS NEWS — the Government just advised that the decision has been made to print the the census questionnaire WITHOUT the citizenship question. We won.

How is this a win. There shouldn't have been controversy around the citizenship question anyway

You won not knowing how many citizens and non-citizens we have. Weird thing to “win”

I refuse to fill out my census forms until we know how many illegals have infiltrated America.

You’re losing the real battle—which you know nothing about.

Congratulations on stealing representation from smaller states without large illegal immigrant populations.

76% of Americans support asking the question. It is insane that we can't count the citizens in our country. What are you trying to hide? Why are you trying to erase citizenship?
— The Intersect (@mburm201) July 2, 2019
We don’t get it. If you’re not a citizen, just fill in “No” and move on.
