It literally hasn't been on the census since 1950. It's been on the American Community Survey, which is not nationally comprehensive, nor mandatory to be filled out by law. Therefore, for over 60 years it hasn't been considered pertinent. These are just facts.

Why shouldn’t it be on there?
-
Because it reduces response numbers and leads to inaccurate census data. According to the actual census website, the census' primary purpose is to gather demographic data on all individuals living w/in US borders, citizen or not. 1/2

Adding a question that would largely skew data accuracy is detrimental for the purpose of gathering useful data for making decisions at a government level.

Wouldn’t not knowing who is here illegally be skewed data?

If you don't include a question about who owns a bicycle, you don't have that fact either. But you don't have that question anymore (like you did in the 40's) because it isn't a pertinent question. Likewise, as I've already stated, citizenship hasn't been considered a useful 1/2

Mr. Obama, the Democrats in America, have a problem with it, because they’re counting on trying to get citizenship status for illegals, in hopes they’ll vote for Democrats.

Why is it your brother became president and not you?

Because Malik isn’t a natural-born citizen
