Misleading essays such as this one keep whining about efforts to put a citizenship question on the US Census in 2020:

It should be clear to anyone who actually has READ our constitution that such a question is not only proper but also NECESSARY to carry out its directives, especially those contained in this amendment:
14th Amendment
2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
The provisions of the 14th Amendment CANNOT be satisfied without such information.
I am really getting disgusted with the BS which passes for "news" these days. You can take your NPR and stick it where the sun don't shine.
