Fear is rising among Democrats over the prospect that President Donald Trump’s hard line on immigration might ultimately cost California a seat in Congress during the upcoming round of reapportionment.
Top Democrats here are increasingly worried the administration’s restrictive policies — and the potential inclusion of a question about citizenship on the next U.S. census — could scare whole swaths of California’s large immigrant population away from participating in the decennial count, resulting in an undercount that could cost the state billions of dollars in federal funding over the next decade and, perhaps, the loss of one of its 53 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The fears are well-founded: According to the population formula used by Congress to distribute House seats every 10 years, California is currently on the bubble in 2020, on the verge of losing a seat for the first time in its history.

Well I believe it is the left leaning Politico and Dems that feel this is revenge from trump.
I dont call it revenge; I call it fixing a system that was designed to cheat.
Why would democrats be against making sure we get an accurate count of citizens in the country?

A recent request by the Department of Justice to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 census could threaten participation, and as a consequence, affect the allocation of federal money and distribution of congressional seats.

Why is it important? it's only going to result in all the figures being wrong. No one will even open the damn door now. It's not going to make the Mexicans move.
America is never going back to being a white nation. If it ever was. Get used to it.

Too bad the census isn't for determining citizenship but for determining how many people live in our country.
The neighborhoods will suffer if it's under reported. I'm sure trump is all about that #. Make brown people suffer.
