U.S. Rep. William Clay said he is planning to ask the Obama administration to suspend immigration raids over the next year in Feet in 2 Worlds.
“…The Census is really about three things: information, federal funding, and proper political representation,” Clay added. “When we miss any American, we deprive his or her community of all three of those precious resources. Every American counts, and every American deserves to be counted.”
