Washington DC<\/span><\/i><\/b> – Today U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley joined colleagues in calling for Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to meet the administration’s previously set deadline of July 1 to begin printing materials for the 2020 Census and move forward without adding a politically-motivated question about citizenship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Their call comes a day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration’s rationale for adding the question “appears to have been contrived.” Donald Trump also announced on Twitter yesterday that he had asked his lawyers to delay the Census.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

“By continuing to pursue the citizenship question, you will further delay and jeopardize the Census Bureau’s ability to conduct a full, fair, and accurate decennial census as required by the U.S. Constitution and the Census Act,”<\/span><\/b> escribieron los senadores. “We urge you to stop all efforts to add a citizenship question and allow the Census Bureau to proceed with preparation for a 2020 census without a citizenship question on the questionnaire.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

In addition to Wyden and Merkley, the following senators also signed the letter: U.S. Sens. Brian Schatz, D- Hawai‘i, Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Patty Murray, D-Wash., Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Tom Udall, D-N.M., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Bob Casey, D-Pa., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Jack Reed, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawai‘i, Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Ed Markey, D-Mass.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Dear Secretary Ross:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Department of Commerce v. New York State, we urge you to uphold the rule of law and respect the Court’s decision. By continuing to pursue the citizenship question, you will further delay and jeopardize the Census Bureau’s ability to conduct a full, fair, and accurate decennial census as required by the U.S. Constitution and the Census Act. We urge you to stop all efforts to add a citizenship question and allow the Census Bureau to proceed with preparation for a 2020 census without a citizenship question on the questionnaire.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

As a constitutionally mandated activity, the decennial census is a cornerstone of our democracy. We have one chance to get the count right and must complete the task on time to meet constitutional and legal requirements for congressional apportionment and redistricting. The 2020 Census is less than half a year away, and any unnecessary delay in operations would impact the ability of the Census Bureau to count every person in our country. We urge you to remove the citizenship question, and we look forward to your response.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
