so even if data comes in from the social security administration and gets linked to someone census response. they can't share that back out with the social security administration or with any other federal government agencies so you said you're trying to get groups to talk to the communities and encourage them ok the questions i will be there we need to develop this fall what kinds of things are you hearing from the people in these communities that are fearful about this yeah what people are understandably very scared the trump administration has taken countless inning immigrant actions. >>the the census laws are statutory and a bit harder for the asministration to unilaterally change. >>than other areas of immigration, but that's a very nuanced message about the legal system and safety everyone predicts without the questioner with the question this will be the most difficult census we've ever had in terms of getting out the count and folks are focused on having as many conversations as possible to really build trust with the communities they already serving are connected to and explain to

he has a plan b, to use existing data from government departments that he mentioned, social security administration that exists on everyone in this country to try and collate information about who is a citizen and who is not. why is this issue so controversial? it seems to be a simple matter to see who was a legal citizen and who is not. it may seem so citizen and who is not. it may seem so to some people but if you are a person in this country who is without the official documentation, and undocumented resident of the united states and you are asked the question, are you a citizen of this country, considering the political atmosphere at the moment, many of those people will be inclined to not fill out a census form altogether. if people do that in large numbers it would skew the figures in the censusis it would skew the figures in the census is important for allocating funds to different areas and states in the country and allocating seats in the country and allocating seats in the house of representatives. so the figure could be actually quite inaccurate if some peoplejust the figure could be act

population, including databases maintained by the department of homeland security and the social security administration. we have great knowledge in many of our agencies. we will leave no stone unturned. the census bureau projected that using previously available records it could determine citizenship for 90% of our population or more. with today's executive order which eliminates long standing obstacles to data sharing, we're aiming to count everyone. ultimately this will allow us to have an even more complete count of citizens than through asking the single question alone. it will be, we think, far more accurate. the venn suss bureau can use this information along with information collected through the questionnaire to create the official census. others, as a result of today's executive order, we will be able to ensure the 2020 census generates an accurate count of how many citizens, noncitizens and illegal aliens are in the united states of america. not too much to ask. this will greatly inform a wide array of public policy decisions. this information is also relevant to administering our elections.

the department of homeland security and the social security administration which the census bureau alreadyo get information on the picture of how many noncitizens are here. but perhaps -- basically what he's saying to the federal government is do what you've already done, but just do a better job of it, and try harder. by the way, this is basically what some of wilbur ross' advisers proposed that he do, and he rejected that in favor of trying to put the question on the census. so, the government is concluded as the attorney general said, there is just no way to get this done. they'd have to keep fighting in the courts. i think that the government had reached had reached this position before the fourth of july anyway. the president said isn't there some legal way and they finally apparently convinced him the answer is no and this is the best fallback. interestingly enough in, the president's statement said why we need this data, he did not mention redistricting apportioning members of congress. >> but bill barr did. >> he will well, he suggested m there's a way to resolve this question whet

that would be the administration's plan to link the census system with other systems like the tax system and social security system as well as other federal and state systems to figure out how many citizens are actually in the united states. now, senator chuck schumer says the citizenship question itself is very cynical by the president towards minorities and not very moral. david: edward, i thought we were going to get a sound bite there. reporter: we were. david: i don't think we got it. go ahead, finish up your report. reporter: one more thing. the president then started joking now about the fact, he did that within the last hour, about how you can't even ask the question about citizenship on this. republicans are on his side. republicans think the administration is well within their rights to figure out how many citizens are in the united states. now, whatever happens, house speaker nancy pelosi says that this will be challenged by democrats or other groups, no matter what the president does. now, right now the citizenship -- the census form is being printed, it is being printed without that citizenship

so the social security administration, under barack obama, stopped issuing no match latters -- letters. no-match let letter would go out and say this social security number you're using isn't a match and then it should go to the employer too. i believe it used. to i understand that the trump administration may be picking that up again and issuing no-match letters. but that's not where it should stop, that's where it should begin. mr. yoho: they brought that up that the no-match letters, they're up in a tizzy. but if we go back prior to president obama, there were no -match letters. this is what's wrong when you have bad policy. when you get rid of a program or a requirement that's working, people get complacent. they're like, hey, i don't have to match up social security. so there's no reason for me to even apply legally. and then when you try to reinstate it, you get angry people. and it gums up the system again. that's why, if we have a good system in place, there is no reason to back away from it. because this will be a policy that will live beyond you and i. mr. king: i add to the

a women's level influenced the social welfare policies of the new deal, especially in the works progress administration and the social security administration. women also took on larger roles in the revitalized democratic party. even though the results were far from achieving gender parity, women's interests might have been overlooked if not completely forgotten without the effective mobilization of the women's network. so the new deal, i think, truly was a breakthrough for women in public life. now, many of these women were firsts in -- whose appointments were widely reported in the press, but unfortunately it proved difficult to institution allize their progress. women found many fewer opportunities during wartime in the 1940s than they had in the depression of the 1930s. and reminding those in positions of power that women could serve with distinction at the very highest levels of politics and government remained an uphill battle. it still remains one today. and without an eleanor roosevelt or a molly deucen to constantly press women's case, too often the jobs defaulted back to white men. but a major reason, i think, to re
