Trump’s Citizenship Question Isn’t Controversial. Obama Deleting It Should’ve Been.
Barack Obama was the first U.S. President to not include a question on nationality in the decennial census. By Ian Miles Cheong
on July 6, 2019 President Trump’s citizenship question on the upcoming U.S. census is, contrary to popular opinion, the norm for the decennial survey.
The planned citizenship question asks: “Is this person a citizen of the United States?â€
Barack Obama was the first President to exclude a question on citizenship in the U.S. Census.
But today, the Trump administration is being assailed from the Left for its efforts to include the question.
The Left has responded typically, with accusations of racism. The question of nationality, they claim, is a danger to immigrants.
There has also been no shortage of confusion as to whether President Donald Trump would go forward with its addition. Trump’s statements appear to contradict news reports that his administration dropped its plan to ask the question after a Supreme Court ruling.
