VOA常速英语2019--特朗普欲通过政府机构数据来了解非法移民信息（在线收听）

Trump announced Thursday that he’s issuing an executive order to all departments and agencies in the federal government to provide the Department of Commerce with the records on the status of people living in the United States. As a result of today’s executive order, we will be able to ensure the 2020 census generates an accurate count of how many citizens, non-citizens and illegal aliens are in the United States of America, not too much to ask. Trump said the information collected in this manner will be more accurate and comprehensive than what answering a single question through the census could produce. We will utilize these vast federal databases to gain a full complete and accurate count of the non-citizen population, including databases maintained by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. We have great knowledge in many of our agencies. We will leave no stone unturned. Trump said the information on citizenship of the US population is vital in formulating sound public policy, whether the issue is health care, education, civil rights or immigration. He blamed Democrats for blocking this effort. Far left Democrats in our country are determined to conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst.

特朗普周四宣布自己将发布一条总统令，对象是联邦政府的各部门和机关，让他们向商务部提供所有美国居住人口的状态记录。今天的总统令能让我们有能力确保2020人口普查有准确的结果，即有多少公民、有多少非公民、非法移民，这个要求并不过分。特朗普表示，以这种方式收集的信息将会更加准确全面，比人口普查只通过一个问题来获得的信息更可靠。我们将通过这些广泛的联邦数据库来获得全面准确的非公民人口信息，包括国土安全部和社会保障局维护的数据库。我们的很多机构有大量信息。我们会不遗余力。特朗普表示，美国公民人口的信息很重要，有助于制定可靠的公共政策，涉及的领域包括卫生保健、教育、公民权利、移民等。特朗普谴责民主党阻碍他的这项工作。我们国家的极左翼民主党下定决定把非法移民隐藏在我们之间。

There are concerns that the Trump administration could use the citizenship data to channel public funds away from cities with large numbers of immigrants to areas where voters tend to support Republicans. The information is likely to be used for redistricting of state populations in favor of the Republican Party, says demographer William Frey. What that would do would be cut out the representation of young children who are not yellow, old enough to vote and racial minorities who are not citizens, and what would actually serve to make districts that were much more favorable to the Republican Party because people who are voting Republican these days tend to be older and whiter and more rural. Frey said census information is used to draw legislative district within States usually based on the total population, but using only citizen population counts and eliminating people who cannot vote would create legislative districts with fewer minorities and more people who tend to vote Republican. Trump and Attorney General William Bar said the citizenship question was perfectly legal, but a legal process to prove it could not be completed before the census.

有人担心，特朗普政府可能会用这些公民身份数据来把公共资金从有大量移民的城市转移到选民倾向于支持共和党的城市。这些信息很有可能会用于重新划分选区，为共和党所用，人口统计学家威廉姆·弗雷如是说道。这样就会减少青少年选民的数量，这些选民不是黄皮肤，而且年龄不符合投票标准，此外还会减少少数族裔的选民数量，他们都是非公民。这样的话，选区就会对共和党更有利，因为投给共和党的人普遍年龄更大，是白种人，而且多来自于农村。弗雷说，人口普查的信息用来是用来绘制州内立法区域的，通常基于总人口， 但如果只用公民人口统计，而且减少不符合投票资格的选民数量的话，就会使得立法区的少数族裔更少，会有更多人倾向于投给共和党。特朗普和司法部长威廉·巴尔表示，公民身份的问题是完全合法的，但在人口普查之间，证明其合法的流程是无法完成的。
