A controversial proposal from the Trump administration would exclude undocumented immigrants and temporary residents from the upcoming U.S. census, potentially altering how political representation and federal funding are allocated. The plan focuses solely on counting citizens and permanent residents, raising concerns about demographic accuracy and fairness in congressional apportionment. Critics argue the move could undercount communities and skew data used for distributing resources. The decision comes amid ongoing debates over immigration policy and its broader implications for the country’s demographic landscape.
