Republicans in Congress are pursuing legislation to change how apportionment counts are conducted for the 2030 census. This involves potentially excluding noncitizens from the counts, which are crucial for determining representation in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. Three bills have been introduced this year to implement this approach, reflecting a party-wide strategy following previous unsuccessful attempts. The latest proposal involves a funding bill, aiming to prevent the Census Bureau from counting noncitizens without legal status, as well as including other immigration statuses. Legal challenges and concerns about accuracy remain significant implications of these changes.
