try to forget the illegal residents and just look at it as a constitution issue. The count is MORE important than getting that piece of information.
"certainly by a preponderance of the evidence, that the addition of a citizenship question will
cause a disproportionate decline in self-response rates among households containing at least one
noncitizen individual and that that, in turn, will force substantially more such households into the
Census Bureau’s NRFU process. Right off the bat, that will cause a decline in the accuracy and
quality of the data generated by the census, which will injure the Governmental Plaintiffs that
rely on that data to make and enforce their laws. On top of that, the Court found, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the decline in self-response will translate into a net
differential undercount of people who live in noncitizen households of at least 5.8%."
