What A Rushed Census Count Could Mean For Latino Community | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Same thing they have done to the black community for hundreds of years… just make up a number and ignore them after the election.
Now is the time to get your Census done. If you or someone you know has not completed their Census, do it TODAY!
Call everyone you know and make sure they do their Census TODAY!
We all need to be reminding our friends and family on every social media account we have and do so every week or so until the deadline. We all need to step up or we’re going to get another decade of republicans in control of the house, senate, and WH in addition to the underfunding of resources in our communities. It’s sad 40% haven’t completed their census forms and I’m sure Trump’s federal government isn’t going to do much to try to get that 40% to complete their census forms.
Try honesty. PRETENCE isn’t working for you.
First they asked for an extension and now they’re finishing early? So those minority communities that didn’t get counted wont get Federal economic support really?
The illegals won’t and shouldn’t.
that’s the plan
me as a Latino understand that trump locked Latino kids in cages and Latino adults so I will be voting for Biden. If other Latinos wont vote and trump wins is because they are ignorant.
@Ricky Spanish breaking into the country doesn’t make you a citizen anymore than breaking into your house makes me part if your family. I know liberals that want illegals because now they can afford a cheap house keeper to make them feel superior…liberalism is a mental disorder
@sal been You are so right.
@Ricky Spanish go get an education
@CONSTANTINE ANGEL GUTIERREZ I graduated college in 1996 after my four years active Army service, you speak in broken English. I bet you can’t even write (not print) your own name.
@Emily Cuthbertson Great comment. Every western society answered that question already 🤷♂️.
The ACLU & every other civil rights org needs to sue TF outta them. This was deliberate.
We haven’t received any census mail,,nor have anyone came counting,,,it’s there plan,,,,,,unfolding right in front of our faces💯
Rallo green that is so weird to know that you did not get one when I have filled up ours and mailed it long time ago.
I don’t know what’s up, I work for the census and am available to work today but have not received cases, we have a limited time – why are they intentionally log jamming?
Wow, sad to hear census takers are unemployed today…
Get off yr Bum & find WHY. DON’T JUST SIT & DO NOTHING.
Done on the day it was received! How hard can that be, America?! Do it today and then remember to VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
Sadly, not enough Americans realize yet that there is no limit to the amount of harm that Trump is willing to do to America and Americans.
The right wing know they are now the minority of American voters. They will no doubt prioritize the census collection for their base while slowing down or eliminating for the rest of us.
YES WE DO……THE ONES THAT CARE ABOUT USA…AND NOT ONLY THEMSELVES…
We must do what we can to prevent Trump from manipulating the census.
He’s just pulling cards out of his sleeve right out in the open now. Honeybadger don’t care.
Happening NOW — despotic takeover. Rethuglicans are facilitating violence & C19 so as to lockdown and cancel the vote. Post office is next, then our generals will be replaced.
I’m sorry but picking strawberries doesn’t give you covid, but living 20 to a one bedroom apartment does.
So if you get it and you’re still picking the strawberries and you cough on the picked strawberries, can the next person who touches the picked strawberries get it too?
Picking strawberries is apparently one of those dream jobs the GOP claims immigrants are stealing from Americans. How about paying people a little more so they don’t have to live like that? Many still would, because they are sacrificing comfort to send money home to support their families. How many Americans do you know who think that way, outside the military?
*Meanwhile, Professor Allan Lichtman, the noted historian who has correctly predicted every single election since 1984, has just predicted that Trump is going to LOSE in November.*
He also said there are external factors which can affect the election in favour of Trump.
Solution : Vote and encourage voting for Biden.
After the senate failed on impeachment…
The election is 11 months away, they said
How much damage could he do it in that time, they said
Congress is a watchdog, they said
Well, here’s another one….
It wasn’t enough that his administration wanted to add a question to the census identifying citizenship, now he wants to end it early so he can have millions of residents of color dropped off the census. That doesn’t include his donor/Postmaster General making changes to slow down the mail just before a major election that will heavily depend on mail in voting or his continued unsubstantiated claim that millions of illegals vote in our elections especially by mail. We are living through the most dangerous threat to our democracy in the republic’s 244 year history.
I suspect an investigation will reveal a plan to deliberately under-count or sabotage the democrat areas.
But the Latino community has higher numbers when it comes to supporting Republicans! So
STOP SUPPORTING THEM!
NOT ONLY LATINO COMMUNITIES…ALL STATES…
I have no faith in Biden he just hides his Racism better never Biden and no Trump
A lot can happen in 10 years…create an independent entity and fund it well to undertake the census more frequently, how hard could that be?
