The Census is all about gathering accurate data regarding the people who live in the United States. This includes their citizenship status.

I would think the Democrats would want to know exactly where their illegal basis is, so they can move it where it is needed. Republicans want it, so they know how many the tax payers are supporting.

residents only

It helps people 70 years from now learn more about their ancestors. It helped me learn about my great grandfather. He immigrated to the US in 1860 and became a citizen in 1880 approximately.

Felix Pressler

the Congressional districts should be based on number of citizens not population since not all can vote; and the census does not collect info which might affect privacy

Gramma Jean

Because ONLY American citizens should vote on American issues. No other country would allow a non citizen to vote. Why is this even an issue?

Cynde Magidson

It's not asking if you are here legally -- just if you are a citizen. What's wrong with that?

Kim Varner

yes! Illegals won’t fill it out. So their votes shouldn’t count.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Citizens are the one who matter....count, if you will.

Steven Huillet

Because it give a more accurate account of population

Mou Chat Reed

You are supposed to be a U S citizen and I won't that rule upheld.

Ann Harbert Evensen

The Constitution states that all inhabitants should be counted--not just citizens.

Kirsten Stewart

Why should we include illegals when they are incapable of running their own government.

George Pearson

Because Oregon receives federal funding for each resident, whether a citizen or not. Would you rather turn away federal money?

This would be asking undocumented immigrants to 'out' themselves, and risk being deported. That's not fair, especially if they're on a path to citizenship.

It would be nice to have accurate #s, reflecting everyone; however, folks here legally, but not citizens, like the Dreamers, risk being deported under Trump. Until there are safeguards vs. that, No.

Michael Miller

The purpose of a census is to count ALL people present, not just some.

Ken Callison

Do you really think someone here illegally is going to answer truthfully?

George Pearson

Agreed! Hi Ken1

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
