TRUMP PROPOSES MAJOR OVERHAUL OF U.S. CENSUS
The Trump administration proposed limiting the 2030 census to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, excluding undocumented and temporary lawful immigrants.
The proposal would also remove race and ethnicity questions from the census.
Because census data determines congressional representation and distribution of federal funding, the changes could significantly affect states with large immigrant populations.
The proposal now enters a 30-day public comment period and could face legal challenges.
