If citizenship question is asked on 2020 USA census, how will they verify? Anyone can claim to be a citizen.
.
It doesn't matter that's not the point of the question
You can always leave it blank.
Really curious to know what those methods are.
IRS and Localities/States has all citizenship information because of tax filings linked to your SSN and Address. They just need to cross-reference current census information and tax filings. The rabbit hole keeps going based on social engineering, etc but you get the general direction. Not our fault that the true reason they want to put the question in the census is political. If they truly wanted the information there are way better ways to get this.
how will the IRS know citizenship status? We dont include that info in tax filing.
You give that when you get a social security number. The IRS neither knows nor cares, but the Social Security adminstration knows (unless you were naturalized and forgot to update it to them) and for about 90% of people of working age in the US knows they're still alive and because of employers FICA tax filings. For the percent who are purely self employed and actually bother to pay taxes they hear from the IRS once a year
You do give citizenship information in a tax filing. If you are an NRA or a citizen/resident with work permit is all part of the filing and any from the employer submits on you. When you work on a w2/w4/1099 citizenship and work permit documents are sent to the IRS yearly.
The goal of the question was laid bare recently: determining citizen voting-age population to redistrict for Republican benefit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/05/trump-just-admitted-something-he-probably-shouldnt-have-about-census-citizenship-question/
Of course this is what it’s for. Democrats are over represented because illegals are counted in the citizenry which happens to be blue cities and states. Representation is based on the citizenry which illegals don’t qualify as so ultimate red states and red districts will benefit as representatives will redistributed from states with sanctuary cities as should be the case. It’s the whole reason Dems encourage illegal immigration and sanctuary cities so they can steal representation in the House.
@Meliodas as usual you’re wrong.
All other countries have this, so I’ll answer it accordingly.
Citizens and resident aliens like immigrant workers have different SSN digits. They can clearly read it directly from your SSN
There is a question on the citizenship application- Have you ever claimed to be a US citizen? So it’s up to you to lie in a census or not
Well, lieing as citizen will have far reaching effects on everyone. If all illegals lied (which they will far sure on advice of democrats) in CA WA NY then there has to be created more electoral seats and hence winning these states will tilt results towards democrats.
Look what data points India will collect. Nationality question is right there. India is also a republic and much more diverse country than usa. They dont have problem.
There’s nothing unconstitutional about asking about citizenship. It’s been on the census forever and was only recently dropped under Obama.
The government doesn’t have to give a reason for doing it. They can do it for shits and grins, to piss of the Dems, or any f’ing reason they want because guess what? Asking the question is constitutional.
It is illegal to claim to be a US citizen when you are not and if discovered can be bad. No sane person should lie about that on an official document.
