Sacramento Bee: Rapid Response: Supreme Court's census ruling
Washington,
June 27, 2019
Here’s how some California leaders are reacting: U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles: “While today’s Supreme Court decision might feel like an outright victory, it’s important to recognize that the battle over the addition of this citizenship question is far from over. If added to the 2020 Census, it would not only corrupt the integrity and accuracy of this process, but it also will – by design – silence the voices of immigrant communities, robbing them of critical federal funding for public services like education and healthcare. As we move to the next phase in this ongoing fight, my office will continue working with partners on the local, state, and federal level to ensure everyone is counted and secure the critical resources our communities need and deserve.” |
