Cal Thomas: Censoring the census citizenship question is about politics, not the law
OPINION - By Cal Thomas | Fox News
Supreme Court releases decisions on gerrymandering and census
Justices rule they have no business dealing with the political shaping of voting districts and refuse, for now, to grant permission for the administration to put a question about citizenship on next year's census; David Spunt reports from the Supreme Court.
The notion of history repeating itself is usually viewed as a negative statement, but some history is worth repeating because we might learn and be guided by it.
In last week’s 5-4 ruling by the Supreme Court rejecting the Trump administration’s claim that adding a question about whether a person is a U.S. citizen was for the purpose of helping to enforce the Voting Rights Act, Chief Justice John Roberts left the door open for the administration to come up with a more compelling reason. Whether this can be done in time for the 2020 Census is doubtful without an extension for document printing. The Court is on summer recess and won’t re-visit the issue, if at all, until its next session.
JULIAN CASTRO PRESSED ON HIS LIBERAL IMMIGRATION PLATFORM: ISN'T IT 'EFFECTIVELY OPEN BORDERS?'
A look at history should provide reason enough to make a citizenship question part of the 2020 Census. The ultimate irony is that people employed to ask the questions must be U.S. citizens, or legal residents.
Since 1820, a question about U.S. citizenship has been on census forms with few exceptions. It was left off in 1960 and 2010.
Proof of citizenship is required when applying for most jobs in the country. When I travel internationally and return home, there are two lines at Immigration and Customs. One is for noncitizens and the other for citizens. A form requires me to state my citizenship and show my U.S. passport. To apply for a U.S. passport I must provide proof of citizenship.
Both parties are at fault for failing to enforce existing laws and by not reforming the broken system. It is not only a disgrace, but national suicide.

A case can be made that Democrats want the citizenship question left off the 2020 form so they can import more future voters for their candidates and skewer districts to create a permanent electoral majority.
Politics, not the law, has changed everything. Both parties are at fault for failing to enforce existing laws and by not reforming the broken system. It is not only a disgrace, but national suicide. If it continues, the country we inherited from our forebears will be no more.
