Top US immigration official Ken Cuccinelli says he's confident the Trump admin. will add the citizenship question to the 2020 census after their effort to do so was shot down by the Supreme Court.
"We can start the printing now and maybe do an addendum after we get a positive decision, so we're working on a lot of things, including an executive order," he added.
In that Supreme Court ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the four liberal justices in saying the government has the right to ask a citizenship question but must properly justify doing so, which would changes the Census Bureau's longstanding practice. The court ruled late last month that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross did not provide an honest reason for why the question was necessary and barred the government from using that rationale as the basis for the question's inclusion.
The ruling left room for Ross to offer a new reason. But on Tuesday, Ross seemed to concede the effort, saying the Census Bureau"has started the process of printing the decennial questionnaires without the question."Also on Friday, ordered that a case on the citizenship question more forward. That case, U.S. District Court Judge George Hazel in Maryland said, will focus on if the Trump administration's effort was"steeped in discriminatory motive."
