The decennial census plays a vital role in the United States. It helps decide how resources are shared and how many representatives each state has in Congress. As the country prepares for the 2030 census, there are growing concerns about the potential impact of current government policies on the census's accuracy and fairness.

In recent years, some policies have raised alarms among officials. These policies could lead to distorted census results. If this happens, it may affect how congressional seats are distributed among the states. The fear is that these changes could result in unfair representation and misallocation of resources.

As discussions continue, the importance of ensuring a fair and accurate census remains a top priority for many leaders. They emphasize the need to address these concerns to protect the integrity of the upcoming census.
