Once again some of you are being incredibly ignorant and refusing to fact check your sources.
Here are the 2000 short form questions:
http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/d61a.pdf it did not ask about citizenship. The long form did.
Here is the 2010 proposed questions:
http://2010.census.gov/2010census/pd...CSnotebook.pdf the short form does not ask about citizenship but the long form does.
So once again we have people writing an op-ed full of inaccuracies and people blinding believing everything they hear as fact without even spending 5 minutes to fact check what they hear. It is sad it seems like this is happening more and more on this board lately.
