2) Diana Pliego, Policy Associate with the National Immigration Law Center examines the Trump Commerce Department's recent announcement that it will be including a question on U.S. citizenship in the 2020 census, a move that critics charge will result in reduced participation among immigrants, undercounting populations, reduced Congressional representation and depressed funding levels for federal programs.
