2020 Census Citizenship Question Open to Public Comment
You can weigh in on a controversial decision by federal officials to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
Several lawsuits have been filed challenging this late and untested addition to the decennial questionnaire. In the views of many, the addition of a citizenship question would suppress response rates in immigrant communities, increase costs to taxpayers in administering the census, and lead to misallocation of government resources in ways that hurt businesses, communities, governments, and nonprofits. A question on citizenship, in short, could lead to an unfair, inaccurate, and incomplete count of every person in America.
You can go directly to the Census Bureau comment form or submit prepared comments using the Census Counts website. The public comment period closes August 7.
