No Citizenship Questions expected to be included.
Don't you find it interesting that the 1960 Census omitted the question proir to the Amnesty of 1964? We have been asking these direct questions about citizenship and naturalization for over 100 years and it's suddendly wrong of us to ask?
Trying to keep those illegal aliens in the shadows. Additionally, since the Census data and demographics are used to determine voting districts, this could easily be gerrymandering by a Democratically controlled administration and congress.

************************************************** *******
I am a Descendant of Robert & Leah Barclay, Robert was the first born Generation in America, his father Robert Barclay was from Ury Scotland....I get a kick out of some of the old wills I have. Thought you might find it funny.
I have another will where one of my grandfathers leaves a certain amount of money to make sure the slaves are taken care of in their later years.
Whats is funny is how much they changed the spelling of their names in the same papers.
