As soon as I heard Trump was adding the question about whether you have a non-citizen in your household to the census I smelled Kobach. He'd already suggested it in a secret memo that we caught a glimpse of during a meeting in November, 2016 with Trump.
The GOP's basically turning the census into a giant caging operation to get rid of real citizen voters by asking ...more
