House Republicans propose the Equal Representation Act to remove non-citizens from census count, facing opposition and unlikely to pass in Democrat-controlled Senate.

House Republicans propose the Equal Representation Act to remove non-citizens from the census count that determines political power and seat allocation in the US. The bill faces opposition from the White House and is unlikely to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. Critics argue the proposal may lead to unfair advantages for Republicans, increase census costs, and violate the 14th Amendment. Previous efforts to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census were blocked by the Supreme Court.
