‘Visitors’ should be identified
While you report about gays’ the new ability to define what they think their relationship is on the census, I note that there is no place on the census for where one is born or if one is even a citizen. [“Gays can now check ‘husband or wife,’” page one, March 31.]
These items were part of earlier censuses. If the census is going to be used to determine the apportionment of representation and monies in this nation, how can that be done correctly if you do not know who is a citizen of this country and who is a “visitor”? Certainly, the division of our elected representation should not be based on who has the most “visitors.” Something is wrong here.
