Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Issue of the “Citizenship Question” on the Census
“Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart. “
Proverbs 11:11
The United States Census has been taken every ten years since the early days of the United States of America, and the individual census records from 1790 to 1940 are maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration. Knowing our true population count is imperative, the most critical duty of the US Census Bureau is to conduct what is known as the “decennial census” (ie. every 10 years). The earliest decennial censuses were conducted under the authority of the Secretary of State. The Department of the Interior assumed responsibility in 1849, and upon its creation in 1902, the Department of Commerce and Labor’s permanent US Census Bureau oversaw the census.
Census results have several high-profile applications: they are used to reapportion seats in the House of Representatives, to realign congressional districts, and as a factor in the formulas that distribute hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funds each year.
As a sovereign nation, we have a right to know and need to know how many citizens we have…and how many are here from other nations. The citizenship question has been on every census since 1850. The citizenship question was removed by the Obama administration in 2010. Why? It is widely speculated so that non-citizens could be counted for House seats.
We pray:
- That this issue be quickly resolved and the citizenship question be added to the upcoming census!
“Asked and answered”..a picture from the 1920 census!
When asked about this question being included in the census, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave a clear explanation: “It’s just “common sense” to add the citizenship question to the census. The Constitution gives to the federal government the responsibility to do a census every 10 years. The census needs to be an accurate count..it needs to count the people who are in this country. For virtually every census for over a century, it has included the question: “ARE YOU A CITIZEN OR NOT?” One of the problems, as we are debating public policy, is that a lot is unknown. You see the figure that there are 11 to 12 M illegal aliens…bandied around quite a bit. Truth of the matter is that no one really knows whether that is 11 to 12 M…or 20 M…or a bigger number, so it’s important that the census do an accurate count. It’s basic common sense that you ask about citizenship, that’s part of it!”
We pray:
- Teach us, Lord, to value the privilege of being US citizens. Let us know the true principles upon which this nation was built, so that we might be part of restoring our beloved country to its foundations!
He added: “Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion in that case I felt was disappointing. The Chief Justice sided with the liberal Justices in concluding that essentially he did not credit the Commerce Department’s justification. He basically said that they didn’t cross their “t’s” and dot their “i’s” …they didn‘t execute it well. I felt that was an unfortunate decision. But the Supreme Court majority also says quite clearly of course you can ask this question, and that ain’t complicated, it’s a legal matter. Virtually every census for over 100 years has asked the question. Bill Clinton asked the question of whether there was citizenship. Barack Obama asked the question of whether there was citizenship.
Now there are two different censuses that are done: there’s the long form census and the short form census, and this dispute is whether to include it on the short form census as well. It’s been on the long form for a long time, but as a legal matter, if you can do it on the one, you can obviously do it on the other!
The Court was quite explicit (about the need for a “better” justification)…that’s not to say that the Court won’t be political and won’t try to “second guess” it…but it shouldn’t, as a legal matter and as a Constitutional matter, this is quite straightforward, and I’m heartened that both the President and Attorney General Barr have indicated their intention to go forward…as it’s the clear authority of the President and the Administration, in fact it’s a Constitutional responsibility…and they need to do it, they need to do it accurately and they need to do it right. But part of doing it right is asking basic questions, including: “ARE YOU A CITIZEN?” Simple, clear cut, straightforward. Thank you, Senator Cruz.
We pray:
- That SCOTUS will have the wisdom to discern truth from deception, to rule correctly in this matter, holding true to the founding principles and Constitutional roots of this land.
- That we will finally get an accurate count of our population, and no longer be deceived by false counts!
In ruling on this matter, Roberts wrote for himself and the four more liberal Justices: “The reasoned explanation requirement of administrative law, after all, is meant to ensure that agencies offer genuine justifications for important decisions, reasons that can be scrutinized by courts and the interested public. Accepting contrived reasons would defeat the purpose of the enterprise.” But the conservative majority declared, “That decision was reasonable and reasonably explained, particularly in light of the long history of the citizenship question on the census.” In other words, the way Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross went about obtaining more complete citizenship data through the census isn’t inherently unlawful.
The President, determined to include the citizenship question, is considering his options, which include an executive order or a potential addendum to the questionnaire that would allow the question to be added at a later date. He has been encouraging his lawyers to find a way to include the disputed citizenship question and has said: “It’s one of the ways — we have four or five ways we can do it.” Administration officials worked through the Fourth of July holiday, and the Justice Department changed out the entire legal team assigned to the census case. They were all searching to be able to provide the Supreme Court with that “new rationale”.
The President has said publicly that asking census takers their citizenship status should be a no-brainer. He is committed to the issue, leading some to say that “The President has made clear, he wants to fight.”
We pray:
- For the Justice Department lawyers, who are now searching for a “new rationale for reinstating a citizenship question” — a move made possible by the wording of the Supreme Court ruling, which left the door open for the administration to try again to add the controversial question back into the census form.
- For those who are advising the President in this matter, to give him solid, Godly counsel, and a strategy that will withstand all scrutiny by the Courts. Guide and direct him in this, Lord, we pray!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Congress of the United States: Senate and House of Representatives
As the Dems are sniping at one another in the House of Representatives, jockeying for position and threatening to oust some of their own more moderate members, we pray that truth will come out of this chaos and that the true character of each one involved will be clearly seen, allowing citizens to make good decisions in the upcoming elections instead of simply going along with the party line!
We pray:
- God, help those who are registered as Democrats! Show them the truth, and let it be restored to their party. If the party refuses, then let them walk away!
