The census is the bedrock of American democracy, allocating political power in the United States for a decade to come. Now, President Trump has ratcheted up his campaign to distort the census, issuing a memo calling for the apportionment of the House of Representatives to exclude undocumented immigrants. It's a constitutional abomination—indeed, contrary not just to the text of the Fourteenth Amendment but also to federal statutes, Supreme Court guidance, and the democratic principle of congressional representation of all communities subject to congressional lawmaking and oversight.
