I have to imagine that undocumented immigrants *already* have a minimal response rate when it comes to the Census, no?

Im clearly in the minority in that I think this is a bad rule that should not be instituted on its own merits, but that it’s effect will be negligible overall compared to how the Census already undercounts people primarily in poor rural areas.

There is fears that it could disgorge participation from legal immigrants and minority citizens.

Not invalid ones, but again, I’m more concerned with the underfunding and lack of tests run in preparation for the Census
