U.S. Senator Steve Daines today introduced legislation to include the citizenship question on all government census forms.

"This is America," Daines said. "We are a sovereign nation. It's absurd that we don't know how many citizens and non-citizens are living in this country. That's why I'm introducing this bill to require a citizenship question on the census."

Background:

From 1880 to 1950 the citizenship question was on the Census.
