3321-589: The counting of persons who are in the United States illegally. Senators David Vitter (R-LA) and Bob Bennett (R-UT) tried unsuccessfully to add questions on immigration status to the census form.

Many residents of prisons counted on

There was a penalty of $ 100 for not completing some or all of

3888-603: The head with a stick,' and humbotmenwet 'as hesbopa jo dom 'I kept on shoving anything into the sack.' The third suffix is used commonly and appears to have an obscure meaning. /to/ can be used with /ju/ 'rub on' to form ju to 'rub in' and with /mej/ 'give' to form mej to 'buy.' It may work to create the transitive form of a verb, although this is not always the case. /toto/, a reduplication of /to/ indicates reciprocal action. The motion-location auxiliaries occur as 16 different suffixes. Some of these suffixes can occur together in limited constructions: /c'opin/ 'up over

According to political commentator Juan Williams , "Census participation rates have been declining since 1970, and if conservatives don't participate, doubts about its accuracy and credibility may become fatal."

The causative suffix /ti/ indicates that the actor is causing an action to occur, as in ma dondom 'as te 'yno ti k'as , which means 'I walked

5103-453: The rise in social media and cell-phone usage in the U.S., the Census Bureau used research gathered through a cell-phone study in order to target media and adds to populations that were nonrespondents and promote census participation. This study also helped gauge the mindset of those who fail to respond, trying to figure out why.
