The almighty fuss over a citizenship question in the census indicates that it should be asked.

The administration says it needs the question to administer the Voting Rights Act properly. Opponents counter that President Trump really wants to scare brown voters away and, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi outrageously framed it, “make America white again.” To which it is retorted that Democrats want open borders and mass immigration by indigent people. Chief Justice John Roberts confused the issue by saying the administration’s argument was “reasonable” and “reasonably made” but also that the pro-question case was “contrived.”
