Dem Rep. Rosa DeLauro on Trump’s Proposed Changes to 2030 Census: ‘This Is an Effort to Rig the System’

EXCERPT:

DELAURO: "Again, it’s changing how residency is counted, increasing the risk of distorted representation, and the Lieutenant Governor talked about that as well. Again, each of these pieces is rooted in the Constitution back to 1790. The changes severely erode the accuracy of the census. It is illegal, my friends. It is an effort by the Trump Administration to punish blue states and states with higher immigrant populations, New York, California, New Jersey, yes, and Connecticut. Connecticut ranks 11th out of all 50 states for immigrant population. This is an effort to rig the system, rob the American people of their right to be represented properly.”
