MASTER CRIMINAL TRUMP CAN NOW TAKE BERNIE MADOFF'S CELL IN PRISON
DIRTY ED FINN CAN LICK TRUMP'S BARE FEET AND PRAISE HIS MASTER IN HELL
But the Trump administration has repeatedly stood in the way of a complete count. President Donald Trump has pursued policies that make immigrants less likely to respond. The census officials he appointed, for example, decided to conclude operations weeks earlier than they had previously announced, leaving little time to reach the people who are hardest to count — despite a pandemic that has made such people even more elusive. As of Oct. 15 at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii time, they will cease accepting responses to the census.
The administration made these decisions against the advice of experts and its own career staff at the U.S. Census Bureau, sabotaging local officials’ efforts to improve response rates in Harris County — and in many other communities across the U.S. that have long borne the costs of being undercounted.
What’s at stake here is a core function of democracy laid out in the Constitution, which directs the federal government to conduct an “actual Enumeration” every 10 years and to apportion representatives based on “the whole number of persons in each State.” Administrations controlled by both Democrats and Republicans have historically taken those words to mean that any person living in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, race, how wealthy they are or where they live, should be counted in the census. https://publicintegrity.org/politics/system-failure/trump-obstruction-of-2020-census/
