Latinos, Asian Americans still fear 2020 census over citizenship question, witnesses tell Congress.
"Hard-to-count communities are in every state and district, from large urban areas to rural and remote communities, including American Indian tribal lands and reservations," said Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.Counting for the 2020 census is kicking off Jan. 21 in a remote part of Alaska using locally hired enumerators to knock on doors.
“The 2020 census could leave communities across the country undercounted, underrepresented and underfunded,” Maloney said. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the committee’s ranking Republican, returned to the issue of whether the administration should have been able to add the citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling that it cannot be added.
Yang refused to take the bait. Yang would only say that it’s important to get an accurate count on the decennial census and if there is anything to detract from getting a fair and accurate count that is a concern.
