Kellyanne Conway defends citizenship question, argues Census asks more 'invasive' things about people's toilet use
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway claimed that if the U.S. Census Bureau were to still add a citizenship question in 2020 it would not be as"intrusive" as some of the other inquiries routinely made by the agency.
Conway seemed to be referring to the American Community Survey conducted by the Census Bureau. The bureau randomly selects over 3.5 million households every year to participate. The results are used to help determine how federal and state funding is distributed. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway talks to reporters outside the West Wing following a television interview with FOX News at the White House July 02, 2019 in Washington, D.C.Last month, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration and temporarily blocked the citizenship question from appearing on the 2020 census. In the 5-4 decision, the justices said the Commerce Department failed to give a good reason as to why they wanted to include the question.
