Context: This development revives a long-standing debate over whether collecting citizenship data in the census could influence participation and the fundamental constitutional requirement that every person residing in the U.S. be counted once a decade.

Trump officials propose testing a citizenship question amid a push to alter the census The Trump administration proposes to include a question about U.S. citizenship status in this year's field test of the 2030 census, as Republicans push to alter the counts behind voting maps.

A Conspicuous Gap May Undermine Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Plan

Why do the ppl insist on the original inten? Amend IV was passed in 1868 re: citizenship of formerly enslaved persons and insurgents--2 problems (and a war) that would have been avoided if the Founders had simply delivered on "all men are created equal."

Opinion | I came from Somalia at 19. Let me tell you about the America I met. President Trump’s anti-immigrant ranting betrays the Americans who welcome the stranger.

"When leaders attack refugees, they do not harm only us. They devalue the work of every American who believed in this country’s ideals to help a stranger."

Change at the Podium For likely the first time in the United States, a woman gave a public lecture. George Washington was there. By Mary Sarah Bilder

Eliza Harriot brought the concept of female genius to the United States. Its advocates argued that women had equal capacity and deserved an equal education and political representation

Opinion | Forcing visitors to share five years of social media history is nuts America’s closest allies are among the 42 countries in the visa waiver program targeted by Trump.

What exactly are the criteria for “hostile attitudes”?

Is the DHS monitoring social media activity to identify users who promote violence against the US, or is it also reviewing satirical or critical memes about the administration?

Opinion | Cracking down on citizenship ceremonies encourages illegal immigration Trump unfairly levels collective punishment against people legally in the U.S. from 19 countries.

In the last fiscal year, 818,500 immigrants became U.S. citizens. The president undermines his own messaging on legal immigration by rejecting people who are willing to jump through every hoop.

Democrats, who once lambasted Trump on immigration, have grown quiet Democrats struggle to counter Trump’s tougher policies on immigration.

“I would like to see a broader response,” Van Hollen said. “We (Democrats) can walk and chew gum at the same time. Trump’s poisonous comments in the last week have really put immigrants and other communities in danger.”
