The controversy here should not be putting it back on. The real question is who removed it. And we know the answer to that. Barack Hussein O and Michelle (My Belle) O.
Stop ginning up hysteria: Citizenship question on census is nothing new
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigrat...is-nothing-new
Lost in this partisan uproar is that a citizenship question has appeared in some form or another on censuses throughout our history. Indeed, it was only removed entirely in 2010 by President Obama, and its roots stretch deep into the founding era. It’s worth detailing the history to dispel all the false narratives.
A question about citizenship was proposed for the first time in 1800 by Thomas Jefferson, who advocated for an inquiry into “the respective numbers of native citizens, citizens of foreign birth, and of aliens.” His straightforward reason for wanting such a question was “for the purpose of more exactly distinguishing the increase of population by birth and immigration.” Jefferson got his wish just two decades later, when a version of his question appeared on the census of 1820, which asked how many “foreigners not naturalized” lived in each household.
Something similar to that was on the 1880 Census. Different questions were asked on different years. I think the 1920? Census asked if the Household had a Radio.

What’s the vapid ‘argument’ for NOT having a citizenship question on the census?
Is it really necessary that we forgo common sense on literally every point?

In their blind hate-fueled rush, the Left never stopped to think: The question does not ask if you are here illegally, it just asks if you are a citizen. There are many non-citizens who are here LEGALLY and will have no problem answering the question honestly.
Once again, Liberals prove that they cannot read basic English.

Maybe after 20 years they feel 'American' and want to participate?
How many American Citizens vote?
"Nearly 56% of the U.S. voting-age population cast ballots in the 2016 presidential election, representing a slight uptick compared with 2012 but less than in the record year of 2008."
