That makes it look to anyone like being born in one of these places makes you a citizen different than being born in the United States.

I don't believe in the boycott because we worked too hard to get people to believe in the census.

I sarcastically, or profoundly, said it was easy to invade it in 1898, so it was probably not difficult to reach it now.

Why not include the territories in the total count? In other words, what is the population of the United States?

I hope we don't because, you know, more and more we are finding countries throughout the world that disagree with us.

I hope so because more than ever now we need the National Weather Service to be able to function as modern as possible, if there is such a phrase.

I am also deeply troubled about a highly political request that the Department of Justice made to the Department last December, asking the Bureau to add a question on citizenship status to the form.

Those--that small percentage of Americans who still can't get used to the fact that we exist or that Barack Obama was president.

Why are we asking these questions? What is it that we hope to gain unless we are going to use it for something good?

If you are living in Puerto Rico, and you are therefore for a citizen, you won't be counted in the population of the United States.

That's the climate we are living in, you know.

I appreciate all that you are doing to make this census a better census than any other before.
