The United States 2020 Census is fast approaching. Last year there
were questions being raised on whether or not to include a citizenship
question on the 2020 Census. What is your opinion?

answer:

Why Is The Census Bureau Still Asking A Citizenship Question On Forms? A citizenship question won't be included on 2020 census forms, but other Census Bureau surveys ask about a person's U.S. citizenship status...

My opinion is:

After the story was published, the Census Bureau revealed that it is removing the citizenship question it was originally planning to include on next year's island-area census forms. You won't see a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

The addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census could affect the self-response rate, a key driver of the cost and quality of a census. ... ACS respondents who were administrative record noncitizens in 2017 frequently choose to skip the question or answer that the person is a citizen.

The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would begin printing forms for the 2020 census that do not include a question about citizenship, abandoning its quest to add the query after being blocked last week by the Supreme Court.

The decision was a victory for critics who said asking people whether they are American citizens would skew the census results in favor of Republicans.

The administration was compelled to make the decision after a majority of justices rejected its justification for adding a citizenship question, which the justices said “appears to have been contrived.” The court left open the possibility that the administration could provide an adequate argument, but with a looming deadline to begin printing census forms, Justice Department lawyers said Tuesday that the administration would not continue to plead its case.

The Trump administration had argued that including the citizenship question on census forms was an important part of its efforts to protect the voting rights of the nation’s minority residents. But opponents said that including the question would deter many immigrants and their families, both legal and undocumented, from participating in the census, which could have the effect of shifting political power among the states and between the major political parties.
