Schumer Statement On Trump Administration’s Decision To Begin Printing Census Without Citizenship Question
Washington,
D.C. –
U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer today released the following
statement regarding the Trump administration’s decision to begin printing the
census without the citizenship question after the Supreme Court ruled they
could not add the question without further explanation:
“The
exclusion of the citizenship question from the census is a victory for our
democracy and for fair representation of all communities in this country. The
Trump administration’s politically-motivated efforts to undermine the Constitution
in this instance were so reprehensible that even the conservative Supreme Court
couldn’t let them get away with it. Democrats in Congress will be watching the
Trump administration like a hawk to ensure there is no wrong-doing throughout
this process and that every single person is counted.”
