Shalom Palmer learned about her African and European origins by using a kit from Ancestry DNA in March 2018
That, in turn, would undermine a crucial element of ensuring fairness in our representative form of government.
Meantime, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who announced his department's move to change the 2020 census, appeared to skew the science behind his decision when he asserted that the impact of asking about citizenship had been "well-tested".
It's certainly no coincidence, then, that an anti-immigrant Republican administration would include a question in the census that could end up undercounting the population in Democratic-leaning urban areas and states, thereby potentially decreasing their political power and increasing the power of rural areas that tend to vote Republican.
OR and Washington's attorneys general are joining a multi-state lawsuit opposing the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 decennial census.
The Trump administration isn't telling the full story on its politically charged decision to ask people about their citizenship in the 2020 census.
The groups that would mostly be scared off by this are segments of the noncitizen Hispanic, Asian, and Muslim populations. "The immigrant community, documented or not, will think twice before sharing information with the government".
The Commerce Department says the 2020 U.S. Census will include a question about citizenship status. The Obama administration did not ask about citizenship in the 2010 census.

Apple unveils new iPad to regain ground in classrooms
One example displayed on stage was the Froggipedia app, which allows students to virtually dissect frogs using an Apple Pencil. Free iCloud storage increases from 5 GB to 200 GB for schools to better manage student sessions on shared iPads.
Galvin called the addition of a citizenship question "a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to frighten minority groups away from being counted".
Schneiderman says the decision to add the question "directly targets" states with large immigrant populations.
Just as significant are the impacts of congressional and state redistricting within states. When important decisions are being made about how our democracy functions based on census data, we need accurate and reliable population counts.
The census results are the basis for each state's number of seats in the U.S. House as well as its share of federal funding. A misallocation of these funds based on a faulty census would affect a wide range of programs, including those directed to housing, health, education, and community infrastructure. "And again, this is something that has been part of the census for decades and something that the Department of Commerce felt strongly needed to be included again".
Without good data our public funding and programming will be incorrectly allocated, districts and congressional representation will be falsely assigned, and research and practice will suffer. By law, the Census Bureau must deliver decennial census questions to Congress two years before Census Day, with the next one occurring April 1, 2020. The addition of this question was controversial due to concerns about non-citizens not completing the survey due to fear of people finding out about their non-citizen status.
