In 1939, the German government conducted a census of all persons living in Germany. Census takers recorded each person's age, sex, residence, profession, religion, and marital status, and for the first time, they also listed the person's race as traced through his or her grandparents. This information was later punched into coded cards by thousands of clerks.The cards were sorted and counted by the Hollerith machine, an early version of the modern computer. The Hollerith was invented in 1884 by a German-American engineer, Herman Hollerith. The machine was used in the United States and by most European governments for processing census data in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Holleriths used by the Germans were developed by a German branch of the American company later known as International Business Machines (IBM).
The information from the 1939 census helped Nazi official Adolf Eichmann to create the Jewish Registry, containing detailed information on all Jews living in Germany.
The Registry also recorded the names of Jews in Austria and the Sudetenland of western Czechoslovakia, which were occupied by German troops in 1938 and 1939 and made part of the Reich (German empire). Nazi racial ideology and policies did not stop at Germany's borders.
Technology and information that were under other circumstances helpful tools became, under the Nazi regime, a means of locating victims. https://www.ushmm.org/outreach/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007703
Only a few hours later, it was facing a lawuit over the decision. A group of 14 states, led by California, are trying to force the government to back down and leave the citizenship question off the census when it goes out to American households two years from now.
The government’s justification for the question sounds simple enough: Asking about citizenship will provide more information about who is in the United States, and more information is always good. It claims it’s simply reinstating a question that’s been part of every census except 2010’s.

Waiting for your response to Juan Montoya, Mr. Anonymous.
Good response Juan
but when and where were you born?
What a crock of shit! The citizenship question was asked on the Census form for over 130 years until the 50's as then was on some of the forms after that. I guess all of the presidents from Washington to Eisenhower were Nazis also.
Being a Marine and graduating from a Yankee school doesn't mean you are not a biased far left wing liberal. But hell, everybody knows that.
lots of veterans are being deported. Were you born in a local hospital or via midwife (partera)? Do you have a passport, Juan?
*liked*
Why answer to the Hermaphrodite orange haired orangutan Juan? Can’t you smell it is him.... his septic aroma is undeniably
(What do you think pilgrim?)
Most of us, love you Juan.

Why is asking if you are a citizen any different than asking what race or sex you may be.
Liberal Point #1: Asking this question requires approval from the Congress.
Congress has to sign off. The deadline to sign off is this coming Saturday. And guess what, Congress is on another of their extended tax-payer paid vacations.
Congress is not in session this week and all of next week.
Liberal Point #2: Even if congress signs off on it eventually, everyone has the constitutional right to not answer the citizenship question. Republicans only like the Constitution when it works for them.
Liberal Point #3: the Constitution only demands that the government count heads, not citizens. Not even how many toilets you have in the house.
SEMPER FI
Juan, stop trying to make claims that are idiotic in their premise.
gringos only see one color red - racist republicans.
March 29 at 7:00 AM.......What kind of idiot are you? There are many millions more Gringo dems than Hispanic dems. Have you ever traveled North of the Sarita checkpoint or out of Texas? The Valley Mexicans live in a cultural and political bubble. When they do travel North and have to order a taco in English, they cry "Oh sheet, oh sheet" and turn around and head back South.
