Silly liberals, the question about citizenship has been in every census for more than a century (Obama, how much)

[Roboteer]

....except the 2010 census, where the Obama administration carefully took it out.

etc.

Why are you suddenly becoming hysterical about the census asking a normal question it has asked every time in the last century or more?

It was part of the census long form that 1 in 6 Americans received.

Obama created some American Community Survey in during his term, and moved the citizenship question to that form... which 1 in 38 Americans received.

------------

The Orwellian American Community Survey

What's especially problematic about the ACS are the answers it demands from citizens. The least threatening of them are just strange -- such as asking whether your home has a flush toilet and whether "there is a business (such as a store or barber shop) or a medical practice" on your property. Then there are the financial questions. The ACS asks everything from your sources of income (in dollar amounts) to how much you spend on gas, electricity, and water. The IRS just asks what you earn; the Commerce Department wants to know how you spend your money as well.

Even more invasive are the personal questions. The questionnaire asks how many people live with you and their relationship to you, along with their names, ages, gender, and race. Most creepy of all are the questions about your daily routine. The ACS wants to know where you work, what time you leave for work, how you get to work, how long it takes you to get to work, and how many people travel with you.

Yes. But the OP said it was in EVERY census and that was incorrect.

The form received by the vast majority of Americans - did not contain that question.

Actually - the question has been included in the census. He didn't say it went to everyone, but it was included.

Obama removed it and put it in another form.

the interesting thing is that the government can put ANY question they want on the census, but you do not ahve to answer it. the only thing you have to tell them is how many people live at your address.
