At Thursday’s grand opening of its office in the heart of San Antonio’s West Side, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Deputy Regional Director Dennis Johnson, as well as federal, state and local officials echoed what Congressman Lloyd Doggett said: “Everyone needs to know, you don’t have to fear the census.”
“The census workers don’t work for ICE. They don’t report to ICE,” Doggett said referring the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against including a citizenship question in the census form, Doggett said, “I know a lot of the fear lingers on.”
