Geoffrey, Is the point of census to count citizens, or people living in the country? If you include a citizenship question, it will deter non-citizens from participating and results will be inaccurate. This is why the 5-4 decision is unsurprising.
Should a nation's census be allowed to ask about the citizenship status of people within its borders?

Of course. Citizens are the members in good standing of the State and the only people who should be counted in districting & apportionment. Everybody else is a temporary guest. If the State does not consider citizenship of any special merit, then the State should be dissolved.

Why? The government has a dozen ways to track citizenship. The census count is only for congressional representation. In our society congress represents the people in the district not just citizens. It’s a question with absolutely no utility.

It is absolutely mind-boggling that anyone should feel a nation should *not* ask this question

This where my inner anarchist pauses. What if we blew it all up and the census just got fucked?
