The states have every right to sue the Trumps administration for adding the question of "citizenship" to the 2020 census. This question will hurt already hurting communities. It will take funds from them that are allocated by the government to disburse in the other more populated cities. If immigrants refuse to disclose or answer the question, then those people are not allocated for which will continue to divide the rich and the poor. This is a form or Gerrymandering and redlining. The reason I say redlining is because it will send money and opportunities to the populations out of the redline who are already privileged. I don't know how much more the Republican party under Trump wants to take away from already hurting communities. This will affect education that is already hurting, teacher strikes will continue. It will hurt healthcare, political representation and most of all social services.
It seems like every time Trump tweets, the white house has to go to his rescue. He recently tweeted there is a revolution going on in California to protect sanctuary cities which are crime infested and breeding concept. This got a lot of attention from many officials in California and it also caught the attention of cities with in California who are not for sanctuary cities. I interpreted Trumps comments as fallacies. I would like to see the evidence to his claims that sanctuary cities are infested with crime and his comment with regards to "breeding concept" is the stereotype that Mexicans have many kids in the USA other wise known as "anchor babies". On Monday Senator Huckabee was questioned by the press and she tried to back pedal on the president's tweets. She tiptoed around the "breeding" comment, she said the president was referring to the growing problem. Anyone can understand the growing problem is immigration, but this is false again, because more immigrants are leaving then coming into the USA. The real issue is what do we do with the immigrant who are here and stuck?.
