Trump Administration Proposes Changes to 2030 US Census Counting and Questions
The Trump administration has proposed significant changes to the 2030 US Census, including redefining 'usual residence' to exclude millions of noncitizens without permanent residency, such as undocumented immigrants, temporary visa holders, refugees, and asylum seekers, from population counts used for political representation and federal funding. The proposal also seeks to remove questions on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity, aiming for a 'colorblind' census. These changes could substantially affect congressional apportionment and resource distribution across states.
