Asked why the South Dakota Department of Public Safety decided to enter into this data-sharing agreement with the bureau, spokesperson Tony Mangan replied by email:"South Dakota's Driver Licensing program is authorized to share information for use by any government agency in carrying out its functions. Information was provided at the request of the U.S. Census Bureau to carry out its function.
"All data that the state program agency agrees to provide the Census Bureau remains confidential," South Dakota's agreement says, later specifying that the bureau can only use the information for"statistical purposes and not for program or administrative enforcement."
TheOnlyKAVIN That's illegal isn't it?
Screw Trump and Stephen Miller for their racist garbage.
Trump administrations priorities - forget Covid-19, forget millions upon millions of citizens who will lose unemployment and have no jobs to return to- let's focus on catching 'illegals'. We are screwed.
Awesome!!
Good.
Good
Do they do *anything* for the American people or is it all just for Trump?
If you're in this country illegally you should be sent back to your country of origin. k thx bye
GOOD!!!
This seems like an end run around the Supreme Court decision on census.
rkonizeski Papers please
Oh my God the dictator at work. Each time he does something like this he gets closer to being America's dictator. TrumpisHitler
DemWrite We knew he was trying for this.
Whoa! Russia, move over.
Thank God
We already know the bar for Trump and WH admin is below ground and they continue to slither under it, so this is to reinforce why you must vote him out. TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
DemWrite Just another reason for nobody to live there.
No different than what GovParsonMO's pal Dr. Randall Williams did. Missouri health director kept spreadsheet of Planned Parenthood patients’ periods
DemWrite This is illegal Citizenship is NOT a portion of the Census. Courts blocked the citizenship question; tRUMP Regime (Herr Miller) try backdoor to gather data. Just some everyday fuckery from the Regime
Can someone says DICTATOR Adding to the fact that they took DNA from immigrant kids placed in foster care & using that too track down family members that may or may not be legal! Lock up the real criminals-Trump and his crime family!
JoeBiden this should not be happening!!!
GetReal8675309 IS tRUMP BRINGING BACK EUGENICS? The Fourth Reich is alive, well & growing under realDonaldTrump
DemWrite It’s stuff like this that the R admin is doing while the Doofus-in-Chief distracts and outrages. All part of the plan.
Good now let’s make voter registration mandatory.
K2thebizA What would be the appeal to immigrants of either of the Dakotas? I’d imagine only people born there, live there.
Everything this administration does disgusts me
Is South Dakota doing this in part because Kristi Noem perhaps has some Presidential ambitions in 2024? Just a thought.......
I thought this was illegal? Anyway, I’ll be back in 10, gotta go take a massive trump.
I thought SD governor was against more government in our lives. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth while it's full.
Libertarians: duhh...ok.... Republicans: thank you, big government!
I feel this may be if interest to ACLU
South Dakota has jumped to being my 2nd favorite state. Texas is the 1 state.
Really, South Dakota has the drivers license and state ID record for every living adult in the country ?
And this is a bad thing? You want more illegals running around?
We becoming like China.
Good
Good.
the 🐙 is reaching out
Yes that is what they should be doing
Badnews
realDonaldTrump 搶劫犯
Right, I forgot. The US is an exclusive club where noncitizens are basically not people
All states should be doing so.
More manure spreading watch your step (defund the media)
wandar1of5 They tried this on Colorado in 2016
babsben And we still haven’t seen Trump’s taxes.
Sounds like an excellent and normal plan unless you're illegal.
wut
South Dakota announces they fully support a tRump dictatorship, just so long as the emphasis is on being as racist as you can be.
wtf!
Gross
PROPAGANDA MACHINE FAKESTREAM MEDIA GREAT INSTIGATOR FALSIFIER
It simply is not possible for the government to count everyone. Give them points for trying but it just can't be done, at least not by our government.
Who’s going to work in the COVID19 infected slaughterhouses then? How will the wealthy elite get their steaks? This is so stupid and the SD gov, who seems otherwise like a smart person, has really picked the wrong horse with the man-child at 1600.
Good. Keep illegals out of my neighborhood and schools. Liberals support illegals but they don’t want them in their neighborhoods or schools. They’re the real racists!
Good - we need an accurate count.
That is bad news.
sure hope Trump doesn't Sioux city officials for leaking the story..
Big brother much...
Whattt
well there is only like 100 people that live in that state so...
From the US Census website: “The U.S. Census Bureau is bound by law to protect your answers and keep them strictly confidential. The law ensures that your private information is never published and that your answers cannot be used against you by any government agency or court.”
As my biracial attorney son and his friends are saying biracial people are only checking black as their ethnicity instead of 2/3boxes.Part Black doesn't make you Black no matter how hard you try.If you were raised properly You would know and appreciate your ethnicity it's America
TheLizMac This is great! All states should follow.
Why is it a bad thing for a country to know who its citizens are? Most countries would consider that a matter of course. A basic logistical prerequisite even to providing benefits like universal healthcare to their citizens.
These hos aint loyal
Schindler’s list part two sucks
Result of the Mt. Rushmore summit It just keeps getting worse!
But isn’t this information already accessible to them? Even as immigrants if you apply for license or ID you have to present your immigration status in someway (i.e green card , passport, work permit, visa etc)
As long as they don’t use it to find out I have unpaid parking tickets. That would suck ass.
That doesn’t smell right?
Just a side note, NPR doesn't actually 'learn' anything. They just keep spewing the same nonsense and sucking up our tax dollars. I've listened for 30 years, and not once have I heard a 'thank you' to the American taxpayers. Donors, corporate sponsors and non-profits, but not us.
Try locating where the PPP $ went. Who's been Mnuchin on emergency small business $?
An intrusive policy wrapped in xenophobia.
This can’t be good. How can we expect people to fill in their census if the government can determine they are here without documentation?
govkristinoem racing to the bottom of trump’s party for national relevance. how’d that hydroxiq study go?
Wow. Seems like big government overreach. Illegal? Targeted? racistexposed RacistInChief Almost Swamp-like. SwampyDon realDonaldTrump What's going? Explain Please. Inquiring Minds Asking
Um, what? Is this legal?
of all 500 ppl who live there. oh noes.
The Census has never been a count of citizens, just people that are here. Sorry, racists.
'METH, WE'RE ON IT!'
Outstanding. We should absolutely know this. You can argue what should ir shouldnt happen with the info, but it needs to be aligned and noted.
Is that a bad idea?
