Census and Population Management

The headline beyond Trump's sex exploitation scandal is that the administration wants to include citizenship questions on the 2020 census form. What's the motivation behind that?

First, Republicans want to intimidate more illegal immigrants and legal immigrants too. They don't want them trying to vote.

Frankly, no one wants illegal persons voting as citizens, and the data shows they don't. That is not a problem.

Second, the problem is that there is a sizeable population of illegal persons living in America who are undocumented. That question is addressed by following the laws and regulations that are on the books. The real problem is that too many Congresses and Presidents failed to enforce the laws and that led to the accrual of a huge population of illegal and undocumented persons who expanded the issue by having children in America who are legal citizens.

The size of the problem and the duration of illegal persons living in America has become too large to handle by merely following the law. Doing so now imposes cruel and unusual punishment on families residing in Amerca.

Congress was expected to address the matter, and it failed once again, and so has the President.

Managing the population requires policies that encourage and support favorable demographics that include the development of skills, knowledge, and experience that make the nation's economy
healthy and sustainable.

Today, it is not. Neither party nor the President is addressing sustainable economics, which is why I wrote the book, Regenerating America with Sustainable Economics by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing.

  1. I wonder if they will add a question such as, "Are you are Russian spy?"
