House Passes H.R. 7109 to Count Only U.S. Citizens in 2030 Census
May 13, 2024, 05:57 PM
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 7109, the 'Equal Representation Act,' a bill that mandates the inclusion of a citizenship question in the 2030 Census and stipulates that only U.S. citizens be counted for the apportionment of congressional seats and Electoral College votes. This legislation, which passed on a party-line vote, aims to ensure that only American citizens are represented in Congress and seeks to address concerns about the representation distortion caused by non-citizens, while also discouraging illegal immigration. Critics argue that the bill could marginalize immigrant communities and potentially undercount the population.
