Citing that he’s not backing down from determining the citizenship status of every US resident, President Trump is using an executive order to direct federal agencies to collect everything and anything they can on the number of non-citizens in the country and deliver this information to the Commerce Department. Do you support President Trump’s use of the executive order to gather this data?
Given the fact that, once again, Chief Justice John Roberts has decided to legislate from the bench (Remember he unilaterally decided that ObamaCare was a tax to keep it alive?), instead of simply ruling on the constitutionality of the question (the ONLY function of the Supreme Court), which he himself agreed in his written statement on this citizenship question matter is perfectly constitutional, President Trump is once again only left with the use of an executive order to do what is a perfectly legal function (and has already been used and tested previously) of determining both the number of legal and illegal citizens residing in the United States.
There is also no doubt the Democrats and the ACLU will go running to the 9th District Circuit Court or even the 2nd District Circuit Court to get an injunction to stay the President’s perfectly lawful executive order. Just like the left has done with virtually every other action the President as done over the last two and a half years. Delay, obstruct, resist is what the left’s plan has been since Day One of President Trump’s administration and this will be no different. It is up to the American people to remove ALL the impediments that stand in the way of President Trump from being able to do his lawful job from the positions of power that they currently hold. If the American people don’t have the will to do that, then the last vestiges of our republic will be forever gone.
POTUS THINKING “OUT OF THE BOX” AGAIN …
The invasion must be stopped.
Trump will not be slowed, stopped or thwarted from protecting American citizens
from the DEMSHEVIKS , SCOTUS and RINO’s in Congress, fulfilling the sworn oath of office to the utmost of his ability.
BONUS:
The obscene hypocrisy of the DEMOCRAT Party is on full display for all to see courtesy
of today’s post from Mark Dice on YouTube. It is well worth your 7 minutes to watch.
BTW, Paul Ryan’s new book reveals who he really is, a jealous RINO traitor.

The question is simply commonsense which is sorely lacking in some people.
This question is just common sense which is sorely lacking in some people.
The illegals are costing us, the taxpayers millions of dollars a year. When is it going to end?
Executive orders circumvent the system. If one lacks the leadership skills to convince others of the wisdom of an action, he veers toward dictatorship. Force can be an effective short-term solution. It hardly produces long-term success and adds to an already contentious polity.
The question never should have been removed by Obama. I fully support the question being reinstated.
I urge those of you who are of a prayerful nature to pray for our nation and its
leaders. We are told in scripture to do so. I know God hears our prayers and I
know He acts for the best in our behalf.
It’s not a big deal to show id when you vote. The democrats are just afraid they will get run over. We have been doing it for many years with no complaints.
As far as assimilation Press 1 for English Press 2 for???
Who has a right (& responsibly) to vote in the USA? That question has to be settled. I have never been in favor of ID cards but I think the time has come that some sort of proof of citizenship has to be implemented because the DL is worthless for that purpose. Anyone that wants to vote will have to decide if they want to be a citizen and show proof and satisfy some standards. Oh ya make English the national language too.
How Congress gives money to states is determined by how many people live in that state. If census can include illegal residents, states get more money. Follow the ?.
the question should be on the census… i have a problem with creating another massive gov’t database of it’s citizens esp when done through an executive order (ie, by fiat)… while the current issue seems to be “common sense” it may set a precedent for a different president to create a database that we may not agree with (“assault weapons” comes to mind)…
This is pure common sense!!!
Once again, the democrats have shown that what favors their party is more important than what favors our country. Its time the democratic party just faded away.
Mexico and Canada have the question on their census, whats the big deal?
If your not a citizen of the United States , you have no right to vote in ANY elections . You have to be resident of the city , county , state that your in to vote in those elections .
President Trump is doing exactly what he promised- draining the swamp. Unfortunately he is also having to deal with the resulting political hot air, aka “swamp gas.”
I would just to point out a simple fact…if you don’t have proper paperwork, and you cross the border into U.S., you ARE NOTE HERE LEGALLY! What part of the statement can’t you understand? If I were to go to Mexico, Canada, or any other country around the world without proper paperwork I would NOT be allowed to enter that country. Note: even if I have proper paperwork, ‘foreign country still has the ‘right’s to refuse to allow me entrance to that country if I have any sort of ‘criminal background…for whatever reason! Also, if I travel to any other country, I better make sure I can support myself…that country is NOT financially responsible for my housing, food, transportation, or medical needs….that is MY responsibility.
Also of note…it is not only the humanitarian crisis our CBP is having to deal with, but also the massive amounts of drugs that are being smuggled in…drugs that are killing OUR legal/native citizens.
Trump is the only president to actually get things done
Gee, 9 ignorant people voting and 10 jerks that don’t belong in America.
How will you know individuals are not lying and just saying yes. ?
When are the republicans in the house and senate going to get some backbone and stand together with our president? If they would have stood united with the president from day one we might not be in this mess now.
I know some have but they need to be united and not going against him like Mitt Romney and others are.
There are way to many illegal immigrants here and they must go and ASAP. We must protect America.
The Dems are on a power drive, hopeful that many of the illegals will get to the polls and illegally vote for them. The idea of given them drivers licenses is one way for that to happen. If the do issue them they should be of a totally different format than what is issued to U.S. Citizens so they can be identified at the polling places and rejected. The Dems also want the numbers to boost the representative numbers for their districts. Totally bogus! BUILD THE WALL!
The crux of the issue is that the census is used to establish the number and distribution of American citizens to ensure that they are proportionately represented in our legislatures. The underlying question is whether legislators represent all residents of their districts or only those who are American citizens.
Assume for a moment that twelve million French-Canadians visit Vermont one summer and do not return to Canada in the fall. The political and social priorities of twelve million French-Canadians are different from those of Vermont residents. French-Canadians prefer to speak…,well,…French. The civil law in the Canadian province of Quebec is modeled on the civil code of France, not Great Britain or Canada.
Signage on streets, highways, buildings, etcetera is in French in Quebec, not English. Under Canadian criminal law you are presumed guilty and the burden of proving your innocence is on you, there is no Bill of Rights, and the Miranda Act does not exist. If these hypocritical twelve million French-Canadian illegal immigrants insisted on being accomodated by the legal Vermont residents in matters of language, law, and customs, Vermont would cease to function as an integral part of the United States and would defacto be Canada’s eleventh province. To carry the hypothetical situation one step further, what if they weren’t French-Canadian but were Somali Muslims? Do you think you understand what a Somali Muslim believes and wants? Even if granted US citizenship, Somali Muslims will continue to live in a closed society and be Somali Muslims. The same principle would apply to any Central Americans, Mexicans, South Americans or other foreigners.
We have a Republic, if we can keep it. To keep it we must defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Dems are demanding that we pay for things for illegals that we can’t even get ourselves ! Who is voting for this crap ?
Citizenship does matter. I don’t see the controversy in asking a person if they are a citizen. We are a nation of citizens embracing the culture and heritage. Otherwise, what’s the point of being a citizen? Citizenship becomes diluted and eventually irrelevant.
Illegals have no Rights! This question is not offensive in any way. The whole worlds governments ask this question we should too. We need to know how many of these people are sucking the life blood out of this country! If the lib lunatics want programs for all these blood suckers then you need to know how many blood suckers there are.
The sheer numbers of people and costs upon our country’s citizens far exceeds the amount that a truly secure borders would be. From One America News, about 27,000,000 illegal immigrants are here now. The cost so far this year is around $145,000,000,000 and counting. This madness of open borders, hatred of all things Trump, and disdain for our country’s foundational roots or historical truth, not to mention ordinary American people, has to be stopped. Why the democratic party and established republican party hate our POTUS and everyone who supports him, lies about everything, and continue to do anything to try and destroy any good work must be dirty attempts to cover up the crimes done behind the scenes in the DC power circles?
Alinsky rules in full force to get back in power.
I have to wonder how other countries, do their Census taking? If I am living in Spain, Denmark, Australia without legal permission, would I expect them to count me as a non-citizen? I would not.
I live in the most stupid state of all. California. Now our “Gov. just passed a bill to give healthcare to the undocumented. When will people realize that nothing is free and we the taxpayers pay for all of this. Since all the Hollywood Rich Liberals want free free free why are they not funding all these programs and give us real people a break,
We are selling out! Erasing our heritage, our histories,
all for the ignorant misinformed. Like a melting snowman, we as individuals will soon all be the same, with no Will to stand tall and seek our dreams. As a country, we will fail and soon be at the bottom of those that stand out in the world, no longer a leader in individual rights and freedoms. There is time to make correction… the first and foremost…. control our borders and know who is in our ranks!
Although I voted that I support President Trump, given the only alternative was that I don’t support him, I don’t think the question will produce valid results, because you cannot guarantee the truthfulness of the answer. Democrat coaching of illegals could result in their answering yes to the question, and thee is absolutely no way to verify the veracity of their answer.
We must know who is here. We also must stand up to the Democratic Socialist mobsters.
Look at how the Muslims are”assimilating.” NOT!
Those who said NO have no clue what a LAWFUL REPUBLIC UNDER OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION is. Why have laws if no one will follow them? ILLEGAL ALIENS are unlawful invaders and they need to be rounded up and deported. YOU ‘NO’ PEOPLE are dumber than a box of rocks or else YOU ARE THE ILLEGAL ALIEN trying to skew the poll. GO BACK TO YOUR OWN HELLHOLE AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE AMERICA ANOTHER 3RD-WORLD COUNTRY THAT YOU CAME FROM!
If I ever see or hear an illegal alien, I WILL PERSONALLY HAVE THEM ARRESTED. You want to INVADE my country, then FOR THE USA TO HAVE PEACE, WE WILL PREPARE FOR WAR, AGAINST YOU!
Stop giving ANY benefits or rights to these illegals and most will not want to come here.
The whole purpose of the sensus is to determine how many citizens are in the US.
If you’re not going to weed out the illegals, then what’s the point???
I’d go so far as to require ID during the census, and anyone who cannot show valid ID should be immediately taken into custody, and if determined to be illegal, DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY!!!
I live in s fla, I see alot of ppl I’m sure are illegals
Trump and “our” legal team (paid for with our tax dollars) failed yet again to accomplish a no-brainer, reinstating the citizenship question on the Census, a once-in-a-decade opportunity to bring some sanity back to elections. Let’s see how bureuacracies respond to this far inferior Plan B. And now, Congressional RINOs are handling out Tech Visas to further destroy American high tech and STEM jobs while creating ways to steal/sabotage American tech advances by filling top positions with foreigners rather than Citizens . If Tump doesn’t veto this visa bill, I hope voters understand he is a big part of the problem. His empty promises are adding up: Wall? DACA Amnesty? E-verify? NADA
YES, YES, YES! Since the census count is used to allocate representatives in congress as well as apportion electors in the Electoral College, subtracting non-citizens from those equations is absolutely crucial! Otherwise you are allowing non-citizens to influence the outcome of presidential elections as giving states with the highest number of non-citizens more representation in congress. In effect you are giving non-citizens including illegal aliens representation in our government and in a presidential election! After Obama’s 2010 census which omitted the question which had been routine, California was awarded five additional seats in congress while other states lost those seats. California also gained more electoral votes! My state lost one. Not because our population declined, but because of California’s adoption of all those illegal aliens. Non-citizens should be counted separately and not used to dilute the votes of our citizens, which is what happens without the question on the census. Since Democrats benefit from the slanted results, they favor omitting the question and using non-citizen counts to their advantage. They do NOT favor honest elections which should be the goal of every honest American.
The dems say it’s so the GOP can manipulate elections. How ironic!
Illegal immigration has been going on in the USA since the first ship landed here.They we called stowaways.I can remember in the late fifties when I asked my father who all the people living in the basement of a house who they were.I was told to mind my own business.This will never be stopped because we should all know by now why thy come here to the USA.People came to work in certain places and earn their way here.
I am all for it. I think we should have to show id when we vote. Not just ask a question on the ballot saying are you a citizen. Anyone can say yes without proof. You dont have citizenship then you dont belong here.
I will never vote for a democrat again! This party has gone insane! I think they have all sold their souls to the devil and are demon possessed.
Just think how much this president could have accomplished if EVERY thing he has tried or suggested was not opposed by democrats.
Of course we need to know how many have crawled across our border illegally! Democrats just don’t want us to know how bad it really is.
I am fed up and as a voter will be supporting the president in every way! Thank God for this man and what he is trying to do.
Once again, SCOTUS oversteps its Article III limitations. Their “opinion” was rendered in 2 parts. First, asking the citizenship question on the Census Form was Constitutional. THAT is where they should have stopped! Instead, they decided to involve themselves in politics by questioning the reasoning BEHIND putting the question ON the census form. THAT was beyond their authority. The court is SUPPOSED to be apolitical. The reasoning BEHIND the decision to put the question on the form is immaterial to the question at hand.
ALL federal court opinions/decisions that go beyond the strict Article III limitations need to be vacated, and the court kept within its limits.
T. Jefferson was a strong proponent of nullification…and I think we need more of it, especially with respect to courts that exceed their Constitutional authority.
The question should be who removed the citizenship question. Its always been a question.on the ballot, until it got removed.
Citizenship: Not as many ignorant people as I would have expected!
I strongly support Trump’s decision but I would anticipate a strong lack of honesty in the responses rendered if the question is included in the census.
