@421connection Apples and oranges. If I'm an of age citizen, I have the right to vote with or without ID. If you require ID.. youre placing a qualification on my right. I can be denied my right if I forgot my wallet at home or didn't notice it expired. Voter ID is a solution to a problem that we don't have and would create other problems.
@@Supafly1906 🤣 absolutely silly argument. You don’t have the right to vote without id. You have the right to vote as a citizen. You can’t just show up and say you’re a citizen without proof. You could be anyone. This isn’t hard. No idea how this thought process is still out there. Incredibly radical. If you’re 21, you have the right to drink alcohol based on law. You have to prove that with Id. These rules and laws are all across our daily lives, from opening bank accounts to renting a car. The idea of blanket entitlement is outrageously stupid…the only way it could get worse is when as a citizen you KNOW the law/rule, fail to abide by it, and then think you should still be able to do whatever you want…as the example you gave lays out. No accountability, no self-responsibility, views like the one you shared actually make the argument for the other side. If you know the law requires voter id and then you go to vote without your id, no one is infringing on your rights…you are not following the law. It’s actually shocking ppl will raise their hand, speak up, and just blatantly say they’re so entitled that they should be able to decide themselves whether or not they follow laws and either way they reserve no accountability for either action.
The constitutional purpose of the census is to ensure proper balance of representation for the legislative branch and EC electors. Non citizens should not and must not have any influence in the count as they are banned from federal elections and by their very definition are NOT citizens…
In the past, the Census counted every single person, regardless. I do genealogy work and know what was on the forms back then. They asked for immigration year if the person was born in another country. They asked for naturalization year if they had become citizens. There were many people listed who were immigrants, but not yet citizens. That doesn't mean that the non-citizens were used to fix the number of representatives. It just means that there was a tally of them.
@@n3ymy630 But non-citizens were actually listed in the Census over 100 years ago along with their year of entry. That doesn't mean that they were counted as citizens for apportionment.
@@bite-sizedshorts9635 the only way to know is to check apportionment before and after the census in question. Back 100 years ago, I suspect you are correct. Since INA of 1965, I would bet they have been used in setting apportionment…
The census counts people, regardless of citizenship. The data from the census is used to determine what roads are being used & by how many people. This helps determine if new roads need to be constructed. It counts people because citizenship doesn't matter when the census is used to appropriate money to local governments for roads, fire safety, public libraries, police departments, etc.
Yes, banks know everyone by sight so to speak, you can't open bank account without ID and SS#, you can't file IRS forms without SS#. That's how they count citizens and legal aliens
If congress is dishing out cash based on numbers of people, and more people equals more $$$, more representatives, more electoral votes, then its absolutely critical that only American citizens are counted in the census!
Why, as an American Citizen, do we have to be bamboozled by our own government? This is freaking ridiculous that we have so much nonsense from the people we pay. We need to start demanding accountability.
no because HIPAA applies to "covered entities". i.e.: "The Privacy Rule, as well as all the Administrative Simplification rules, apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with transactions for which the Secretary of HHS has adopted standards under HIPAA (the "covered entities")."
maybe Congress needs to pass a law stating the purpose of the Census is to make an actual count of American citizens in this country and not people visiting this country.
The US Census used to note whether someone was an immigrant, when they came into the US, and if they had been naturalized and when. That should still be asked today. It wasn't a problem over 100 years ago.
I believe he said on the community survey, they do ask about citizenship. What are those numbers and how many congressional districts would be affected if those people were eliminated from apportionment?
If you listen to his answer, he said they do ask that on the community survey AND have great participation. Why would they not get great participation on one but not the other for the same question.
As always, Mr. Congressman, I'm pleased and proud to cast a vote for you every other November. We have an opportunity to make this happen. It's a no-brainer that illegals should not be permitted to water down the electorate. Federal guidelines that dictate how the _census_ is conducted. That is different than blanket Federal guidelines that govern _elections._ *I respectfully suggest that you and your colleagues make it happen, sir.*
No it can't come fast enough but we've already got trouble on the horizon and I resent that and I'm sick of it. Newsome cheated I know he cheated why isn't anybody doing a recall. Oh my God he's like the other people they hire. Is he getting paid because he sounds oh my God
ALL CRAP ! 130 Million voters in 2016 . 150 million during COVID voted. 140 million just reelected trump. A discrepancy of 10 million voters. Where did they come from And where did they go ?
Oh, BS! There is NO reason NOT to ask about US citizenship in the main census! As a US citizen, I WANT to know how many US CITIZENS live in the US and where they live.
Some states double and triple count. They Sent the owner of house to fill out the census for the whole house . Then each person had to fill one out again for everyone lives in the "Household" . "Household" has multiple meanings in government
So basically on the returns of the census, people who aren’t citizens will respond and potentially alter the amount of Congress seats apportioned? That’s dodgy as shit!
All those seats should be full. So, members of Congress don't have to show up to work?! Democrats also refused to up to the border so not surprised. Should be mandatory. On both sides.
So this gentleman thinks there is MORE value in asking about mental illness than if they are a citizen? He is dancing so fast his shoes must be on fire!
This should not even be a debate..
No actual US Citizen would have an issue with saying they are a citizen...period
Seriously. This is like the voter id debate…shouldn’t even be one. These ppl are insane.
Hello, No actual US Citizen or a Citizen of any State would be harmed by asking the question.

The U.S. Census should be accounting for U.S. Citizens. As I understand it, that is one of the primary reasons for having the U.S. Census done.
The constitutional purpose of the census is to ensure proper balance of representation for the legislative branch and EC electors.

Why is this guy even employed by the federal government. We need to hire a more objective person.
Good God. Add the question, are you a citizen? And the federal government wonders why American wants the federal government to be downsized?
This census guy is perfect example of waste $$. Pink slip his income…
DOGE

January 20th can’t come fast enough
The question isn't "are you LEGALLY in this country?" it is solely "are you a citizen?"
He speaks with a forked tongue
Most 🐍🐍🐍🐍 do
ID laws in every state
We have it in NC. I showed my in this years presidential election.
President Trump. Please fix the stupid way the census is run.
It's all about power for the Left.
POWER and CONTROL is all they want.
Absolutely, where and how did kh get votes??? Check out NJ, Calif., etc.=blue
BS. The Congress needs to make it law to ask for citizenship...
That used to be on the forms over 100 years ago.
This guy needs to be fired 😮😮😮
fancy BS is still BS. we are tired of this double talking no answers BS
Start arresting them for contempt. Democrats did it to President Trump advisors.🤮🤬
Well I guess we won’t fill it out any longer . If you are not asking for citizenship it doesn’t matter
It still matters for apportionment. CA will loose a lot of seats in the 2030's.
If congress is dishing out cash based on numbers of people, and more people equals more $$$, more representatives, more electoral votes, then its absolutely critical that only American citizens are counted in the census!
But what about the red States
No one should be above the law
Citizenship should matter.
When will people like this be held accountable this guy. He has little really changed the outcome of elections
Santos…. You’re fired!
He sounds like a close relative of Mayorkas.
Complete insanity.
So basically, asking "citizenship" might dampen the willingness of illegal immigrants to answer the survey. That's such a problem! 😂
Never again will I participate in a census.
YOU'RE FIRED! FIRED!
Pure swamp. Drain him.
Why, as an American Citizen, do we have to be bamboozled by our own government? This is freaking ridiculous that we have so much nonsense from the people we pay. We need to start demanding accountability.
That is #2 on the list of most important questions on any census
Congress should require citizen verification on the census.
You can't slide anything past Mr. Jordan. He can spot double-talk from a mile away
I would think this would be a very important question.
The point of this census is to count legal Americans, and that's the question that isn't asked. This guy is a dufus.
The Census Director is like a timid mouse.
Is it asking somebody about their mental stability a violation of the HIPAA law because that’s a medical condition not a
Census issue
no because HIPAA applies to "covered entities".
i.e.:
"The Privacy Rule, as well as all the Administrative Simplification rules, apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with transactions for which the Secretary of HHS has adopted standards under HIPAA (the "covered entities")."
How the F do people like this get these high paying positions???? This has to stop in the next 4 years.
Hey Elon and Vivek.. THIS ONE... THIS ONE needs to go
FIRE THIS ACTIVIST 😊
maybe Congress needs to pass a law stating the purpose of the Census is to make an actual count of American citizens in this country and not people visiting this country.
They ask if you rent / own?
Mental health condition?
Fire him 🫵
January can’t come soon enough…..

We know. You’re counting criminals.
Why is this even a question? Of COURSE we should know how many are citizens, and not strategically planted non citizens
Mother of God. You mean to tell me they’re not nor do they’ve know how many legal citizens we have in this country??
God help us get rid of these bad actors that are harming us, and our children’s future
GOD BLESS JIM JORDAN 😊
If you listen to his answer, he said they do ask that on the community survey AND have great participation. Why would they not get great participation on one but not the other for the same question.
Great job from walsenburg COLORADO thank you!
This guy's is a joke...the swamp is corrupt
Make [ are you here legally ? ] great again.
I say if people don't fill it out and send it in they shouldn't be counted. If they don't care why should I?
When was the last time you got anything from the census bereau? Serious question folks..
It decides the electoral votes.
I hope Trump can fire this guy.🇺🇸
This person that’s over the senses is corrupt y’all do get that right Congress? You need to fire the guy!
lol....sad answers
Citizenship should be on census. Some questions should not be on census.
They ask how much your home is worth! That isn’t any of their business. They ask lots of intrusive questions, citizenship is certainly important.
We risk an undercount. So he’s admitting it’s purposeful to not ask citizenship.
There already is an under count of CA and Texas. It was put out in a press release.
So this is part of the seats the census oh I'm learning a lot I hear being screwed from one end to the other
What American citizen is going to say oh it wants to know if im a citizen, screw this im not filling it out
Unbelievable
WORD SALAD. He needs to be FIRED!
Government specializes in the irrelevant, intrusive and galling.
The citizen question is designed to "dampen" participation of people who are not supposed to participate!
When i was younger they just came to the house and said how many are here that was deleted it back in the 60s and 7 0s
Unbelievable..TRUMP TRUMP ckean house.
Mental gymnastics. Amazing.

Yes but it's Mr Jeffries job to change the law not the guy Counting
I bet cuz they know were alot of citizens protecting our mexican families

Then why should citizens participate in census?
Obviously it's not that they can't ask the question it's that they won't because we all know it would directly effect the apportioned seats.
ALL CRAP ! 130 Million voters in 2016 . 150 million during COVID voted. 140 million just reelected trump. A discrepancy of 10 million voters. Where did they come from And where did they go ?
They ask about Citizenship on background checks, but can't ask it for another reason??.
Dampened the number by asking if you are a citizen. Hmmm. Wonder who would be dampered?
Term limits on all government positions civil and elected
If we ask them if they're citizens it dissuades non-citizens from saying that they live here? This is really fucking getting old.
Oh, BS! There is NO reason NOT to ask about US citizenship in the main census! As a US citizen, I WANT to know how many US CITIZENS live in the US and where they live.
Go Jim
1:48 As if "dampening participation" from the people who'd say no to that is a bad thing.
it used to be asked on there
If you ask if they are a citizen and they aren't they won't participate so they cannot be counted.
Well he does a good song and dance about not doing it because he knows it should be a question that should be on there.

Wouldnt HIPA laws prevent Census Bureau from asking about being deaf, blind or mentally ill? Or dont the HIPA Laws apply to our govt?
It absolutely IS stupid!
