- Problems have plagued the US Census Bureau in recent decades.
Learn how the census definition of race has changed over time: bit.ly/2s5gWN2
The 2020 census was added to the Government Accountability Office’s list of programs with a high-risk of failure. And failing to accurately count the population would threaten the integrity of the country’s most authoritative dataset that drives public policy.
Because the census is used in for a myriad of democratic functions, it’s important that the US gets it right. But now the Department of Justice has proposed to change the 2020 form, which could create further problems for the bureau.

So instead of using our taxes for stadiums owned by private parties and we don't get any financial benefits from maybe they can add that towards the census. Also tbh people are very unengaged in these important stuff. They don't even bother lobbying their politicians yet care about census so it's shared blame between institutions and people.
People are either convinced they can't do anything, because they really can't honestly, or they're exactly the people who this is meant to benefit, so they don't care.
issa osama funding for stadiums doesn't come from the federal level, census funding does, your comment makes no sense
MasterHutto census isn't paid for by taxes? I mentioned stadiums because of their previous video. I understand what you mean but they could still make special laws to directs tax payer money towards important procedures if needed.
This is a strawman, yes census funding is paid for by taxes but at a different level. State taxes funds the stadiums and federal taxes fund the census. You can't use state taxes for federal purposes.
That would be logical, America doesn't do anything the logical way they do it the corporate way.
Please do a video about
1. How the work flow happens when you call 911
2. How the fake calls floods in during Tax returns time and what happens if you follow their instructions like paying for a gift card at Target or Walmart
3. How and who is restricting public transport in many states for public considering the oil price is increasing
Bhargav Kesavan you're born and brought up American ???
Kiran Pandiyan how does it matter to you?
Shob sam just curious, nothing else
Yes, these would all be fascinating topics. I've never heard of #2 (I don't live in America), but I'd love to know more.
taqu
I agree, although I do live in America.
I'm pretty sure I've learned more from Vox's TH-cam videos than I did in college...
Goal Guys In that case, most of the informations are updated and that it cannot be informed in education. But still, I agree with you.
Then go quit college, just watch vox videos. See where that takes you.
Kennedy A So like John Guys had mentioned, school intention is to prepare you for jobs. Somehow, Goal Guys just stated that he learned lots of "informations" from the internet than school. Thus, not all schools really provide you all the data from the world...
Kennedy A Your logic is so dumb. It's like saying i like my city but since I don't like the shops their, I should leave the city
Goal Guys
Then maybe you should spend more time as a student and less on TH-cam.
I'm over 60 years old and I never did a census report in my life and it's going into Shredder right now
bullet I'm getting them a couple times now, In which case their claiming it's required by law? I seriously question that statement!
@@aquacandela3705 Use that paper to light your fireplace.
I was wondering the same!! I've never filled out one for decades and now getting these cards and reminders in the mail.
LeBelEsprit When you read the questionnaire it actually says it's "voluntary", so are they lieing to us?
I'm laughing right now shredding papers🤣🤣😂
You that know America needs to rewrite some of their documents when their census instructions still say that “slaves count for three fifths of a person.”
Well I mean there are no slaves so it wouldn’t really change anything. Sure it’s screwed up but I feel like there are greater priorities that need to be addressed with the census and other national systems. Do you really want the already slow congress to take even more time to resolve something that would literally change nothing? I don’t disagree in a perfect world but this is America and if you want congress to say murder is wrong it will take them 6-8 months to sort everything out and make a decision.
Lol! Really?
And Natives of America are still referred to as African Americans!
@@justicekeyes308 that makes no sense
Monk Gaming speaking of murder. Convicts are modern day slaves.
Jeffrey Kirton yes because they broke the law and the punishment is prison time (no freedom) what’s your point? Law breakers should be free ?
This will be a huge problem for representative reapportionment and especially school funding. They are already months behind schedule. Lack of funding, personnel and low priority by the administration is destroying any chance they can get it done the right way.
I saw this other video, i forgot what channel, but they say the way schools are taught and its funding have no correlation.
Roland Lytle well there is a different solution to that. Stop financing schools based on cendus, local district population etc.
Finance school by enrolled student. That is easy enough to know. Then move the funding to say state level. After that knowing exactly local district population, local tax base etc. will be no issue.
You count pupils in attendance and state government finances school districts based on how many pupils they serve. More students more money, less students less money. Where the school is or whatvkind of tax base the local area has or does one know the district population would be of no importance.
Pupils served is anyway the most sensible basis of financing a school. It is directly related to expenses occurred. If you bring financing to state level, that has enough economy of scale. Just decide "each school in this state regardless of location, local population etc. gets X dollars per school year per pupil enrolled in school."
Simple and effective, easy to verify against fraud (go see if students in school matches the number school reports). No costly population counts needed for that.
theultimateninja thats pretty ignorant. If you have higher funding, you will have higher opportunities. This means more classes, more teachers, etc...and this is just the start.
The Census should have nothing to do with school funding.
Don't blame Census response rates for your under-funded schools. Blame your politicians for wasting that money elsewhere (like on the Census).
We built an interactive tool that lets you see how the census definition of race has changed over time: bit.ly/2s5gWN2.
Nice
Vox no.
U have many global subscribers and u do most of videos in relation to US... U need to internationalize.
@Vox, could the cost rise (per capita) of each census also be related to the inflation? I mean, most things got much more expensive since the 70's but overall the currencies devalued too. Nice video, cheers.
@Venkat Narahari - Vox just started like 4 years ago, they're minuscule compared to other established news organizations. Besides they're based in the U.S. and TH-cam is just one branch of what they do, I'm sure they're trying their best lol. If you want international news look to Reuters or Associated Press.
I am confused as to why 4 people living in one house counts as 4 households? In Australia our census is based on who lives in your house, that is a household. You simply state that the household relationships. So in my household there are two housemates that are a couple and another housemate.
I think a house hold is considered in a tax way. So even when I lived with a friend and her daughter i was a household to myself because I wasn't supporting her or her daughter financially. I could be wrong though. But its dumb how many definitions of a household we americans have. Because in that same situation, I was counted as in her daughters household and caused her to receive less disability.
Apatheism I know the last one was bad, but our definition of household hasn't changed in at least a decade. I'm not saying it's perfect just giving an example of what other censuses define as 'household'.
Oh yeah the census, I should fill that in sometime.
4 adults living in a household (no dependents) = 4 households. 4 people living in a house, including depedents = less than 4 households. They only briefly touched on it but a household is basically the term for a family. I live with 2 roomates but our houseold isn't 1 because we aren't dependent on each other (technically it's not a household at all because we're still consideres dependents of our parents)
Em Pulse in the US a household is an adult and their dependents. If you and I were roommates, both 26 and you had a partner and child, you would be one household with two depends and I would be one household of myself. (Note that you can only clam head of household if you pay for 50% or more of their living finances, food, rent, power, etc...)
I threw that community survey in the trash. They bugged me for months and threatened me with fines and jail. They finally quit. No law exists saying I must fill it out.
I've never filled one out, and i don't plan on doing it this time around.
RON KING Nor have I, however I keep getting them in the mail saying it's required by law. I seriously question that statement??
Aqua Candela I kept getting them in the mail as well but today a person who works census came to my actual house
Josew 22 do you know if they will return I don’t plan on doing it 😂
Gabriel Garcia they’ll most likely return and if they do all you need to really answer is the amount of people that live in the household and their ages. The others questions are just shenanigans that don’t need to be answered
Gabriel Garcia they will keep coming back until you complete it. Just answer with the number of people who live in the house and their ages, like person above said the rest is nonsense
Video on China economically colonizing African and Caribbean nations please.
I'm pretty sure the term you're looking for is "investment" and not "colonization."
Wazim Mohammed as someone who isn't a neomarxist look up the word investment.
You do realise this is how the brits started nearly all colonies right. india for example
Start trading with them, get favours from local Indian leaders, get access to ports start trading, buy up huge parts of land, buy rights to minerals etc. Bring in troops to help protect merchants, continue to do favours for local leaders, continue to expand.
Intervene in local affairs help fight nearby threats, get rewarded with more land more rights to minerals, end up earning more from region then putting in.
Colonialism wasn't done by the sword but by politics and the coin. Now eventually once set up they grew armies to "protect their investments", recruited locals and governed.
A lot of what at least the brits and dutch did was very similar to what chinas doing now. Some colonial empires took a less subtle approach, but the most successful one did it with money and favours to the local leaders.
James Bickley you do realize that investment is how all economies start right. *Insert random example here from hundreds of years ago.
Xavian Brightly, I was pointing out that the chinese are as heavily "colonising" as the brits were.
So if you think that the brits were colonialists in india then you should think the chinese are now. Of course I dont think of the brits at the start being colonists as much as investors and traders in india at the start.
Two times over the course of 20 years I have not filled out the census forms.
It will be the exact same way upcoming 2020 census. I am not filling this out.
@Mike Stock but why does it say “your response is required by law”? I’m looking at it right now, because I received it in the mail a few days ago.
I am very concerned on some of these questions. Hey do you need my name,last name and birthday. Why not just ask your age and how many live at home.
1 Corinthians 13 That's the same question I have right now.. however when you read the thing it says it's "voluntary" so are they lying to scare people into doing it? this looks suspicious.
@@maribelacosta450 right! I still threw it in the trash though.
Maribel Acosta I agree these should be the only questions to ask
ONE person lives in my home. That's all Census needs to know!
What's the point?, the government doesn't want to help average citizens anymore.
Or even 99% of population it just wants to help the companies paying them off. Which is why we need some of the bills proposed in House to pass senate witch will never happen because we need to have the same party be 2/3 majority in Senate which will never happen because one side is gerrymandering so bad that they can keep seats. Basically we need to end parties and even a calling people liberal conservative ect as it hurts the US. Ending parties will require an amendment to the constitution as well as calling people liberal or conservative in the USA.
Casey smith If there will become one party then it will become one sided. Literally. We wouldn’t have these two competitors at the very end, giving their all to see who gets the job. Also these two (or three) people would be the only choices for voters. If you had one party then you would have like 10 people running at the very end and when one gets elected the other people would get mad (I am assuming that roughly 70% of the nation would get mad) then that person could possibly resign. Also we have two parties because there are some stuff that people would wholeheartedly agree and that there would be no way to bring it “to the middle”.
Exactly, Governments dont want to help their own citzens in need so what is the use
I work for the Post Office. We know who actually lives in every house. This is asinine.
No point in a Census budget. Just take the information from the NSA, they already track and know more details on everyone then the Census will ask anyways...
I census the darkness enveloping me
I also census terrible puns coming
Did they came on you?
lol

I can too, census falling to the darkness.
And yet we somehow have money to pay for a wall???
Lol
With our budget we could go to the moon.
No this is Patrick More goin out already not havin it
We good because Mexico is paying for the wall lol
^ Mexico isn't paying for the wall😂 Trump is already asking congress to give him the funds to build the wall.

Vox Alright, I didn't even realise you had already covered it. And thanks for letting me know.
I have received 3 of them and throw them away each time .
colored_divine well in June you’re getting a visit
I wish you guys would have touched on how the census effects how many electors (electoral college) each state has. Which greatly effects the Presidential ELECTION. And how gerrymandering is a complete joke and should be illegal.
ms mrs But how should we make gerrymandering illegal and draw constituency boundaries fairly?
Not just illegal on gerrymandering but up to death if politician caught doing it, minimum trial to appease the Constitution and all amendments including ones in the first 10. Also do the same for removing voting booths from areas like some have done to make it harder to vote in some areas.
@@cyndie26 Never will be fair so just do it by the counties.
Casey smith But certain counties have higher populations than others. Should all counties be the same population, then, provided each state has at least one?
ms mrs do you think illegal immigrants should count towards a state’s electoral vote share? That seems wrong to me, but it’s 100% why the Democratic Party pushes so hard on this issue. It’s about power.
1:57 how does one house have 4 households? It’s one house, everyone living together is one household. That’s how it works.
I would agree that we are wasting a lot of money on the Census. I have worked in the 2000 and 2010 Census and know how much money we waste in this. They just keep wasting money. I am reminded of this every day
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, moneeeeey
Me: reads this comment
Also Me: true
Me Again: *thinks of Mr.Krabs*
I wss a census taker in 2010. I faced some clearly right wing guy answering his door with a gun to my face, someone sending their large dogs to chase me, and finding an old rotting trailer that had a body inside (I didn't see the body - but the odor was intense and I was instructed to call the police). From my understanding what I faced wasn't considered super rare. That's just the way that the job went. I was proud to do that job, but the future of the census really does worry me.
Alex Andrews Wow I think I was lucky then. The most trouble I had was a lady cussing at me thinking I was a Jehovah witness and when I told her I was a Census enumerator she turned into a sweet angel. lol
I was super lucky, just had to put the screws on stupid frat houses and track down homeless persons, who are often noncompliant but not violent or threatening.
Why not delegate responsibility for census taking to the county level (they all do it at the same time with the same questions everywhere)
If they change it so only “certain” people are counted, maybe it would make some groups feel a lot better about their place in the country, regardless of what the true data says. Theres a tendency to skew the methodology towards what people want to believe, rather than what is actually true. Seems like theres a bit of denial that the Boomers are no longer the largest voting demographic in the country, or the primary economic force.
US that’s stupid.
That's just going to set us back generations, it's the younger generations who actually have a future who should be deciding for their future. Not those who think they know what's right for us. The job market or the environmental crisis should be an amazing example of why we shouldn't do that :)
Maybe we should change it so that only illegal immigrants are counted, maybe the country will look the way democrats want it to.
Baby boomers ruined the economy
Okay. So you're hated when you're treated fairly. I get it now.
There's no reason the Census should be a multi-page questionare. All they need to ask is how many people live in your household. Fill in the bubble mail it back on the same postcard. Doing it this way the cost of mailing it alone saves more than half the money.
We also need to know who is a legal citizen or an illegal alien. Aliens should not be counted towards representation.
I'm a young adult and never heard of Census
Why aren't they teaching this in schools?
Because the U.S. school system is a joke. And Republicans love having people stay uneducated so they have no reason to fix it.
You'll learn this during your senior year when you take government or you could do what I did and just read a book about the US Government or go online and teach yourself there if you are really interested
@@robertstuart480 di u realise most of us have the same opportunity to books/vids as most other Americans
The last time I learned about the Census is was 10 and in 5th grade, which was the last time it happened. Maybe you’re too young to remember?
I don’t necessarily mind being counted but, the questions asked are way too intrusive into my life. 2 people in my household, that’s as much as they need to know!
Modernise it ?
Make a mobile app that works extremely well on iOS/Android devices
Haris Farooq shhhh, that makes sense
Hell no. The security risk involved could lead to a hack worse than Equifax
Alexis Starlyn No it doesn't, there are already enough security issues with tech and putting something like the census or voting on a server that can be hacked is not a good idea!
Security issues and the fact that many in poverty wouldn't be able to
Hmm, no. There's already plenty of security problems with digital stuff. Also, when it comes to something as important as this, you have to make sure it's something available to EVERYONE, who may not have an Android or iOS device.
There's a similar issue in Australia, with Indigenous peoples under reporting how many people live in a residence, for fear that they will be evicted. But, the census information is protected in Australia, and can't be used for any prosecution or to invalidate anyone's Centrelink benefits.
Census data is protected in the US as well (except for general statistics). Names and other information like that aren't made public until 70 years after the census is taken.
So is my life, but you don’t hear me complaining, VOX.
*DO YOU SEE ME COMPLAINING?*
Your just a viewer a small ant compared to a beetle they will not listen sadly
@@CrimesForDimes I posed that comment 2 years ago. Be quiet.
Looooooool 90 bucks just to make someone write a paper
because some dont want to write it .The less citizens resist the lower the cost
@Smoov Cat I would partly agree but using a country's history when the government and people and mentalities have completly changed isnt great especially when the census is quite useful (as said in th e vid)
@Smoov Cat why are federal funds useless (not from the us)
Smoov Cat the people in the poorest communities are statistically less likely to fill out their Census questionnaire... just a thought
The census question on race/ethnicity should be taken off the census. In 1942, the federal government illegally used census information to round up people of Japanese descent. This was sanctioned by the Supreme Court at the time. Partisan politicians use this information to gerrymander legislative and congressional districts, move polling places to make them less accessible to minorities and red line neighborhoods for things such as improving infrastructure and obtaining loans. Ask yourself, are you in the group they will come for next? Since 1980, I have answered this question on the census form by checking the box labeled "other" and then writing "Human" on the line next to it. There is only one race, the HUMAN RACE.
Exactly (I'm Christian also if u have more melanin in your skin the darker it will be and if u have less melanin in ur skin the lighter it will be)
My parents did not fill out the card that was sent home with me in elementary school... I turned it back in blank.. they promised a free popsicle if the whole class turned this card in the next day.. what a control thing for children.
I try to be all smart and listen to these videos but in reality I have no idea what they’re saying
4:27 "Although slaves were counted as only three-fifths of a person"
Never Forget.
I was a crew leader in Chicago in 2000. No one will tell you they don’t have citizenship.
just reading that page at 4.28, "although slaves were counted as three fifths of a person" does that mean slaves could have house representation of 60% of their population? how does that work?
dejaymazter
The constitution was later amended so that each person is counted as one.
At the time, they were counted toward the population of the state where they lived, and each slave counted 60% as much as a free person toward the population for the purposes of apportionment of House reps, but were not allowed to vote.
Well the debate was that the Southern States didnt hold the large populations of Free men like in the north, in the north you had more population overall than in the South and a ton less slaves. To give the Southern states some power they decided on the "three fifths of a person" rule where Slaves were counted towards the population but only three fifths of the person, this greatly increased the representation of the Southern States in the US House of Representatives, now this is important because by the time of the Civil War in some southern states their were more slaves than free men.
It was a compromise that was far to generous to the slave states. They wanted slaves to count for representation whereas the non-slave states did not.
Constitution: Ok guys! 1 person 1 vote, 1 representation! good?
South: Hold one! Why do our numbers look smaller than it really is?
North: Slaves don't count in Census!
South: Daguq? Yeah they do! They need to be able to vote too!
North: No! hell no they aint!
Constitution: Ok how about only 3/5 of the full person in Congress and no votes?
Both: Alright.....Hopefully this wont come back to bite us in the 60's
They should just do a census of all corporations and big businesses because they're the only "individuals" that seem to matter in this country.

Why can’t you count birth certificates minus death certificates? Government has so many records: driving licenses, tax records, voting records, etc. why can’t we just put all that together in a data warehouse and use an algorithm to interpret the data for the census?
Michael Kirschner while that might work to determine our population it would not solve what a census is meant to do. The census determines how many people are living in certain regions which then helps determine the lines drawn for political representation. Using driver licenses would also be inaccurate because in large cities most people don't have a license or one that is valid. While it may work in theory there are too many outside unknowns to use a blanket algorithm like that.
Michael Kirschner because not many people vote, driving records do t contain a large amount of information, tax records would probably be best, but even that doesn't contain all necessary info.
and what if said person moves out of the country? they would still have a birth certificate of that country. right?
If you think about it, a "valid" drivers license is just a bunch of bullcrap for you to give the government more money. Once you have a license, it should always be valid unless you got it taken away by violating a law
That would only count people already in the US system. That leaves a lot of people out, including undocumented immigrants (whose deaths would count towards death #s but not birth #s and who arent in the system anywhere else). Undocumented citizens may fill out the census now because it doesn't ask about status so there's no threat, but if added, they would be likely reluctant to answer. So yeah, it's more complicated than just counting numbers that already exist
Just did the calculation and the price for each house to be counted is only $2 more than it was in 1970. $16 in 1970 is worth $89.92 in 2010. You should mention this.
Hey XiVix, it's important to note that these numbers are adjusted to 2020 dollars. So, that $16 to $92 jump from 1970 to 2010 has already accounted for inflation. Here's a short highlights page breaking that down: www.gao.gov/products/D17964 - Carlos

How dare the government enforce its laws against those who come illegally

America is a democracy
Drizzt Do'Urden haha. Democratic republic haha
It's actually a republic.
It's a federal constitutional representative republic it was never meant to be a democracy because the rule of the majority devolves into tyranny. Thomas Payne wrote when speaking about democracy, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb discussing what to have for dinner" --- so the more you know !
+Danny Gamez His name was Thomas Paine, and there is no record of him ever saying that; the earliest record of that term was by Gary Strand, in the 1990s. It is true, however, that the Founding Fathers of the USA were suspicious of democracy, because they understood it about as well as modern politicians understand socialism; that is to say, not at all.
Democracy refers to both the process of 'rule by the people', and counties that use it. Yes, the US is a republic, but a republic is a type of representative democracy, defined by its particular balance of power between the three branches of government: Judicial, Legislative, and Executive. A Representative Democracy is one where the people rule indirectly, by electing a representative, often based on a region, to the Legislative branch; in the USA, these are congress people and senators. An argument could be made that the US is not a good example of a representative democracy, with the gerrymandering and voter suppression, but that does not change what the US is.
Articulate Pineapple a republic is a type of democracy
Kanye better have a good plan for this.
This is why we need to defund the oil portrait and travel budgets for senator’s and congressMEN!
modernwarrior24 solid counterpoint sweetheart.
I clicked SO fast on this notification. You have saved me from boredom!!!
I'm a simple man. I see a video purporting to provide insight into the challenges facing a foreign country's future census-taking and I click.
Is that cost inflation adjusted? Because if it isn't than the cost isn't that bad. $16 in 1970 is worth $92.12 in 2010.
The most important concept left out of the discussion is that the Electoral College distribution is based on the census. As a Representative Republic, there needs to be a documentation of citizenship in its distribution of the population since it is the Electoral College that elects the President, not the popular vote. If there are 11,000,000 undocumented they affect the overall vote for the Presidency. This is not to say it should be used for deportation purposes, the immigration issue is a mess created by both parties.
They have a right to do a head count. I have one head so that's the info they get.
1:20 where in the Constitution does it require a Census?
Article 1 Section 2 of the constitution, so actually before the Bill of Rights or 5th amendment. “The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.” Enumeration brings a fancy word for Census
This is so simple. Just track utility bills, and figure what one person uses in utility. Boom done.
The 2011 UK census was 87p per person ($1.21). Somewhere in the US, someone is laughing their way to the bank.
Hey Vox, i would be interested if you covered the Costa Rican elections!
Cheers
What is so special ??
Justin Burns just wanted to know if something big or influential happen, which might affect other country or something new.
Yes I think everyone can learn something from another
Chris NMC I am from Costa Rica and I would like that it was a little more discussed, however if it is Vox, it will almost surely be pure libertarian propaganda telling how "homofóbic" and inexperienced Francisco Alvarado is and how experienced and "progressive" Carlos Alvarado is.
Kinda ironic for Census day to be in April fools
Make a website where home owners can go and report the number of people living there and give them 25$ for doing it.
Seats in the US House of Representatives, and electoral votes in US presidential elections, should not be skewed/inflated by non-US citizens.
The US only has a census every 10 years?
Niamh C
Yes, that requirement is codified in the US Constitution.
Mine 5 years.
For election designations.
The UK census is also every ten years - the next UK census will be taken in 2021. Though the UK one is then classified for a hundred years, at least for people like genealogy researchers, so the data from that can't be used the way they use data from the US census where people can get to the specifics of named people at an actual address. (Or at least, it seems that the US census records are more accessible immediately; whether that impression is right, who knows!)
In Ireland it’s every 5 years. I’m just surprised because were usually pretty behind things lol.
The Republic of Ireland has only 4.7 million people to count versus the United States' 325.7 million.
Love, that he said that adding the citizenship question would lead to "different kind of society and then it's not a democracy"🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Dont walk run productions debunked that
We are a republic, not a democracy (someone needs to explain this to the old director in this vid). Arguing that the census count (and subsequently) the number of representatives should be allotted to include non citizens is lunacy. The citizenship qualifier limits counting only of people who are legally able to vote, therefore apportioning representation ONLY based on those who actually by law require it.
So why can't we do this electronically?
Why don’t we force the census like we force the draft? If they don’t do it, then go knock on some doors and demand it. This can be done in mail form at the age of 18 or online. 🤷🏻♀️
I've never filled out the census. Over the past 20 years I refused. Granted a census employee attempted to get a hold of me, with no luck. Nothing has been done legally against me
More people, more troubles.
I guess.
Mo people mo problems
Monster Box Don't worry. We'll have sex dolls thanks to Japan's new to technology in which everyone will stop reproducing
idon'tevenknowanymore You have 300 million people, of which tens of millions are in poverty. Immigrants are the least of your concerns.
And they said "bring in more immigrants"
Yeah because certainly 60 million immigrants are all hispanics, and assuming that number is even correct. Not to mention that white are still the majority of the 300 million, yeah it's those immigrants and not natural population growth, 🙄 we should have the same population number as 1920's right? When will people use their frontal lobes?
Why $92 for a household? Thats too high that's a month of groceries of a household in some countries.
We needed a census! So much has changed since 2010!
Do slaves still count as 3/5 of a person?
*_(_**_4:21_**_)_* *This is so dishonest.* Non-citizens would still fill-out the census regardless of how they answer the citizenship question. It would still encompass all inhabitants. I don’t understand why this has to be polarizing, only in America can the question “Are you a citizen?” on a survey be controversial.
Whether you’re a conservative or liberal, or neither, it seems like a _very reasonable question_ to acquire statistical data for information on national demographics...
bro it literally explains why it’s seems as controversial later on in the video

I worked the census in 2009 and 2010.. A retired, former Philly Parole Officer, I worked where no one else would go: Darby, PA, Chester, PA, but where I had doors slammed in my face were mostly in suburban areas..PS: At the end, we returned money back to the government. As far as I knew, it was an honest job.
As someone who worked on the most recent Canadian census a couple years ago, they stressed how absolutely illegal it was to ask about citizenship. Anyone who agreed to do the census could not be reported, detained or have the information they gave legally used against them. Not judge or police.
This is a gross violation of rights to attach citizenship to the census. It should never be used to hunt down vulnerable people who are doing a civic duty
We need a census or else it will be impossible to flip the house for a generation.
Ben How about the Democrats actually get a message instead of being the "we hate Trump" party? Or drop ridiculous things like shutting down the government for Illegals or gun control?
Talk about 5G PLEASE. Help save humanity
They should make it all online and provide an incentive for people to fill it out.
Why should I answer the census questions when I don't feel represented from the start? I don't think we live in a democracy anyway.
When the oligarchs have the political bureaucrats working for them, that is a plutocracy and I do not want to participate in that.
Just use google forms
Yeah. Because that doesn't have a chance of being hacked!
Completing the census needs to be mandatory.
bmonoire how to punish people who didn't declare they exist?
adtc oof
It is.
The government funding the Census should be mandatory. This is literally(1) a major part of the foundation of the American government.
It is mandatory, but the hassle of trying to get compliance means census workers are often put in the position of figuring out household data, especially with transient populations. The 2010 census was very simple (10 mandatory questions) but there were still numerous times where I simply had to make observation based submissions because enforcement would be extremely difficult if not impossible.
I work on the IBGE witch is the one that does the sensus here in Brazil, but i still yet to learn how all that work, i just know that it's a LOT of work to do that costs a lot of money even more in countries of Brazil/USA sizes.
I hope good luck for the people on it.
Remember what they said here;"Democrats want this info!" Don't give Them S--t!
Just move... Good bye everyone ill remember you in therapy
sense us.......
100 bucks to count a house and its occupants? What are these people being paid? That's just ludicrous.
So the government knows your internet browsing history and Siri can tell you where I will be at 8 am tomorrow morning but they don't have a better way to count the number of people in this country? Its a bit disturbing to realize thats our system....
Nah it’s because of corona
Learn something from India... Our census system is the best in the world. 1.2Billion people, no probs!
Also learn something from Australia, namely how NOT to handle an online census!
What if I refuse to participate? Every time I participated, I get call after call from scammers. They know how much I get from SSA, and how much I have in the bank. Am I required by law to participate? I don't want to.
Yes, you are required by law
Why does anybody even fill these out in the first place? Like what purpose does it serve?

I recommend everyone in my neighborhood claim there's 10 to 20 people living in their house so we get more resources from the government and our fellow taxpayers for our neighborhood.
3:50 - there is the independence day scenario. 2001, what governments need is a common enemy.
I learned about this in high school. It's sad how things have only gotten worse since then.
Why be worried about saying citizenship if you are there legally
Legal immigrants don't exist according to Vox.
The problem is that the US government puts immigration caps and extensive waiting periods to be able to lie or work in the country legally. Frankly, I think we should have open borders. Leave the months of bureaucracy for when they apply for citizenship.
Darth Utah 66 Well it's a good job they do that unlike other countries. They have to pay into the pool (taxes) before they can benefit.
Ok, so make medicare, medicaid, and social security only apply to American citizens.
Darth Utah 66 many illegals still fake documents to get those benefits
can you please explain what is census in a nutshell?
When they count every person in the country and it also keeps track things like race, income, age, so that we know what the makeup of our country and can adjust things like representation in Congress to reflect the changing nation
soooooooo is that it?
Forever Lonely Potato Pretty much. You get a form in the mail every ten years, fill it out and send it back. You don't legally have to, but if you don't it distorts things like funding for schools. If the form isn't filled out properly, a seasonal census worker comes around to people's houses and knocks on the door to ask questions. You're again within your rights to tell him nothing.
thx
Takes place every 10 yrs. To justify any changes to properties, people, or populations within that last 10 yrs. Counts are done to determine public policy, redistricting on city/county/state maps, &to provide program funding to areas of a state.
The info collected by any Census Bureau workers is strictly kept confidential for 72 years (other than info collected that is only used for statistical purposes). Any data leaks of PII that happens prior to that time, carries stiff penalties of Federal fines & up to 10 yrs prison time
The general consensus of things is not good...
Paranoia is a huge reason why people don't fill out Census information now. What a lot of people don't understand is that you need to fill out the information to get proper funding. If you don't then the information of the entire country can be wrong, it's been like that for the past few Censuses.
You guys need Adhar
Sanket Sharma I don't think we have enough collective trust in our govt to do that, because everyone hates the government and thinks getting fingerprinted is for criminals. But idk, maybe adhar would be a good thing
Sanket Sharma lol dude our Aadhaar is actually inspired from their social security number, if you don't know
adhar is based on american SSN, and is just as antiquated, dangerous and open for abuse
Whats adhar?
India’s AADHAR is way more advanced than the American SSN. SSNs outdated anyway, they should scrap it.
Why shouldn't the US government use census data for deportations ?
Because thats not the point of the census. If the aim of the census is to have everyone counted to get some data then you have to make everyone wanting to be counted. If not, you have people who wont answer the census and you have incomplete data.
there are other measures for determining if someone is a citizen or not. The census serves to count people in their communities to determine how they are funded, not to determine citizenship or legal status. Did you even watch the video?
Because an invalid census is more harmful to a healthy republic than illegal immigrants are.
Because it might make immigrants less willing to respond to the census, which jeopardizes its integrity and the effectiveness of subsequent remidial actions based upon its results. The purpose of the census is to count everyone living in the US, including citizens and non-citizens. If people actively ignore the census, or are too scared to respond, we may lose critical information that it’s specifically designed to collect. That information loss will make our policies less effective, and result in misappropriated federal funds. Point being, the census should only be used for impartial purposes, and be as accessible as possible to as many Americans as possible.
Because then the census will be inaccurate. The point is to account for everyone living in America, regardless of lawfulness. People will not sell out themselves or their friends/family as illegal immigrants since they don't want to be deported, and therefore, asking about legality gets you neither the accurate account of people in the US, or who to deport
Much ado about nothing. If the government wants the census, pay for it...
Why is the cost of census increasing so much? If it is anything like health care or education than most of the cost increase is in administrative overhead. We need to get this cost back down to something reasonable.
