BRYAN PRESTON: The Census Should Ask About Citizenship to Keep House Representation of Citizens Fair.

It’s an idea so radical that “Up to the 1950 census, citizenship was asked either directly or as a follow up of all respondents. Citizenship was removed from the short questionnaire in 1960 but was included on the longer questionnaire that went to a subset of census respondents starting in 1970 – until 2010. President Obama dropped the long form altogether in 2010, thereby dropping the citizenship question.”
