A little good news for a change:
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is dropping his administration’s effort to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, an abrupt reversal that came after Trump repeatedly insisted he would push ahead with trying to add the question.
They're still determined to "make America white again," but this eliminates the Trump regime's original plan to intimidate immigrants and minorities into not reporting when the Census comes around, which would have disadvantaged Democrats in redistricting and resource allocations.Rather than add the question to the 2020 census, which will go to every household in America, Trump instructed other executive agencies to immediately provide all of their citizenship records to the Department of Commerce, which oversees the census. Census Bureau officials authored a memo last year arguing they could better collect citizenship data using existing government administrative records.

I fear the damage is already done. There's been so much publicity about it, those affected probably aren't concerned with the fine print, they're just going to avoid the census to be on the safe side.
bluzdude -- you may be right. The intended damage has already been done.
