On Thursday the United States Supreme Court ruled on the census citizenship question. SCOTUS sent it back to a lower court.

The decision essentially blocked the citizen question from the 2020 census.

Liberals on the court do not believe it is legal to ask Americans if they are citizens or non-citizens in the US census.

The upshot of the census decision is that Roberts votes with the left to remand to the Commerce Department to provide a non-pretextual explanation for the question. For now, the question is out. It is unclear if there is enough time left to add it back in. — SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) June 27, 2019

Back in April the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether the Trump administration can include a citizenship question on the high-stakes 2020 Census questionnaire. This was a regularly asked question in historical census forms from 1820-1950.

As Michelle Malkin reported at the time, open borders groups linked to George Soros are leading the movement to exclude the citizenship question from the US Census.

Mexican cartels, human smugglers, open borders Democrats and other anti-American groups also support the measure.
