Trump targets a cornerstone of U.S. citizenship in first-day executive order.

Should a candidate for President that meets the “natural born” standard be declared unqualified because his parents were illegal?

So be prepared. The Trump administration may get its way and put a citizenship question on the 2020 US Census.

This undercount could affect everything from the redrawing of congressional maps to the allocation of federal funding.

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman wrote that in deciding to add a citizenship question to the census, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross violated a “veritable smorgasbord” of federal rules and “alternately ignored, cherry-picked, or badly misconstrued the evidence in the record before him.”

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

If a global majority fails to read the increasingly blatant handwriting on the wall, then our allegedly superior brainpower will end in fire and ice for too many already sharing this earth.
