Dept. of Homeland Security is agreeing to share citizenship information with the U.S. Census Bureau following the Supreme Court's rejection of a citizenship question on the 2020 Census form.
“The information out there over whether someone is a non-citizen or what type of immigrant status they may be is going to have a lot of holes in it,” Senteno said.
“Linking records between datasets is not likely to be 100% accurate," the Homeland Security document notes. The administration had said the question was being added to aid in enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters' access to the ballot box. But Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's four more liberal members in saying the administration's current justification for the question “seems to have been contrived.”
The federal lawsuit challenging Trump's order to collect the citizenship data claims that the data gathering is motivated by “a racially discriminatory scheme" to reduce the political power of Latinos and increase the representation of non-Latino whites.
