Who counts in America? Trump wants to decide
Briefly

The exclusion of undocumented immigrants from the census could potentially erase the representation of about 11 million unauthorized individuals in the United States. This initiative, proposed by the Trump administration, aims to formulate a census that does not account for non-citizens. Such an incomplete census, if utilized for congressional apportionment, would diminish legislative representation and the Electoral College influence for states with large unauthorized immigrant populations. Notably, political dynamics surrounding redistricting could heavily impact which states gain or lose representation as a result of this exclusion.
If undocumented immigrants are excluded from the census, approximately 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States could statistically disappear from the count.
The exclusion of non-citizens from the census could lead to significant changes in congressional representation and the Electoral College.
