The Trump administration has proposed a rule that would exclude immigrants from the 2030 census and that would stop collecting data about race and ethnicity. Yesterday, AAF joined Speaker Julie Menin and New York AG Letitia James as part of New York City Council’s Census Taskforce to oppose these changes that will harm Asian and immigrant communities.

The Constitution requires a full headcount of every single person living in each state every ten years — no matter what their immigration status. An accurate count determines not only political representation, like how many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives or how electoral districts are drawn, but also how much funding communities get for services like schools, hospitals, roads, and much more. These services impact everyone, citizen and noncitizen alike.

Race and ethnicity data is also especially important for Asian Americans, who are the fastest growing racial group in the country, as well as one of its most diverse. Census data helps us identify which specific Asian ethnic groups are growing, what particular challenges they face, and where funding should go for support.
