Where it stands

floor_pending

Your representatives are deciding where they stand. A few messages can tip the balance.

What this bill actually does

The census would add a citizenship and immigration-status question starting in 2030. Each person would be listed as a U.S. citizen, U.S. national who is not a citizen, lawfully present noncitizen, or unlawfully present noncitizen.
The Commerce Secretary would have to publish new state-by-state counts after each 10-year census. The report would be due within 120 days and would show totals for the four legal-status groups.
Noncitizens would no longer count when House seats are divided among states. The bill changes the federal apportionment law, which is the rule for assigning U.S. House seats after the census.
