the data from the census are used to support fair redistricting and every state uses those data although not every state is required to. the census results are used to allocate over $600 billion in federal funding every year. the private sector relies on census data at the american community survey in making a number of decisions about where to put facilities, how to hire, et cetera, et cetera, but basically it drives private sector investment and growth. very importantly, every data collection activity for the most part is done in the united states that space on collecting data from household or population surveys like the american community survey, the national health interview survey, the current population survey which put out the estimates of unemployment. although surveys are made very accurate by the controls that are used by this decision you census. that's why there is a lot of concern about the potential for an undercount in the census. because an undercount in the census, or lack of representation of the population group would not just affect the immediate uses like proportion

legal filing, if this particular question was added to the census, the sum effect would be bad census data. and yet, the trump administration is going ahead and doing it. they announced they are adding a citizen ship question to the next census, which is 2020. they are adding this question without even testing it, without doing any preparation on what effect this might have on the overall census. that's despite the fact that everybody who has run the census for the last 40 years says don't do it, it will screw everything up. they like decided they will pour sugar in the gas tank. why have they decided that? everybody says no, everybody knows it's really bad for your car to put sugar in the gas tank but yeah, they are going ahead they got a different idea. why is that? the census data we get every ten years is used to determine congressional seats, electoral votes, how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding is divaed up and how much health care and schools and areas and businesses use census data all the time and everybody that's over seen the gathering of the data in the past s

if those millions were to be somehow eliminated from the census calculations or data, california could lose as many as four or five congressional seats. the census is much broader than that. that's why democrats and groups and voting rights groups are opposed to the citizenship question. >> our biggest fear is that we're going to get an inaccurate census. census data is used for ten years to allocate resources to different communities as well as representation nationally. it's not just about drawing district lines and having to right number of congressional seats. >> the trump administration takes the opposite crew that justice department argued in its letter to the census bureau that the citizenship question should be included because "this data is critical to the department's enforcements of section 2 of the voting rights act and important protections against racial discrimination in voting." the letter cited how the supreme court has held that section 2 of the voting rights act prohibits voter delusion but any jurisdiction engaged in redistricting. they note questions about citizens

census data is used for redistricting. electoral vote allotment as well as distribution of federal funds. but opponents, including many democrats say the question would deter noncitizen families from responding, given the trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. they say it would lead to an undercount that would hurt resources to many communities and change district maps, likely in the gop's favor for years. >> there is also legal pushback. california attorney general xavier becerra says he plans to sue the trump administration over the citizenship question. in an op-ed for "the san francisco chronicle," becerra writes including a citizenship question on the 2020 census is not just a bad idea, it is illegal. this request is an extraordinary attempt by the trump administration to hijack the 2020 census for political purposes. questions for the 2020 census are expected to be finalized by the end of the week. >>> this morning, president trump is remaining silent on an issue that has overtaken his administr

the legislation, so the chamber's estimate is about four times what we had arrived at from the census data. there are a number of reasons that may explain that. san francisco may have a disproportionate amount of fur sales because union station is a region sales center of items, including fur products. there also may be a slightly broader definition of fur products that's affected by the legislation than what the census considers fur products, and again, there may also be differences in extrapolating from the nine businesses the chamber heard from to the 50 businesses that they believe sell fur products in the city. regardless of the exact number, and i don't believe we can get to an exact estimate, we believe that the proposed legislation is unlikely to have a significant economic impact overall uses our office's standard guidelines for determining economic impact. nevertheless as in the case of many types of legislation, a set of local retailers or a set of stakeholders would be harmed, small retailers that are specialized in fur sales would probably find it hard to adjust to a new busin
