Senate bill would put citizenship question on census, stop non-citizens being counted for redistricting
Fox News
Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., is introducing legislation next week to put a citizenship question on the census in order to stop districts benefiting from illegal immigrants.
Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The bill would then require that the census not count those who are non-citizens for the apportionment of congressional districts. Currently, all people who take the census, including resident non-citizens and illegal immigrants, are counted for redistricting. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
