Trump calls battle over census citizenship question ‘ridiculous’ by kadiatubman
While claiming he has not been “overly involved in the census controversy,” President Trump called the question of whether to allow a question about citizenship on the 2020 census forms “totally ridiculous.”
“I don’t want to get you in this battle, but it's ridiculous,” he continued. “I think it’s totally ridiculous that we would have a census without asking, but the Supreme Court is going to be ruling on it soon.” But opponents have called that justification a cover for the political goal of discouraging minorities and immigrants from participating in the count, diluting their political power. Newly discovered documents revealed the motivation for adding the citizenship question to give “Republicans and non-Hispanic Whites” a political advantage.
