The Constitution is very clear: EVERY PERSON living in the U.S. must be counted in the CENSUS, regardless of immigration status. It’s been the law for almost 200 years.

Trump administration proposes excluding huge swath of immigrants from U.S. census

The proposal would block immigrants in the country legally from being counted in the 2030 census and would drop some questions about race and ethnicity.

Everyone, especially children, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect as they pursue immigration to America.

Trump told Texas “Get me 5 more GOP seats”, and that began a domino effect of map redrawing and racist gerrymandering across this nation. As a result, Louisiana lost one of our Black majority districts, along with many other states.

Happy Labor Day! It’s an honor to defend American workers and unions everyday in the halls of Congress. Workers drive this nation’s economy, the wellbeing of our communities, and deserve the right to fair wages, benefits, and working conditions.
