A task that is already difficult to accomplish accurately is made even more difficult by time pressures. This proposal is also unwise. It would undermine the accuracy of the count of Hispanics and other minority immigrant communities. Census Bureau employees would be unable to determine if all eligible persons had responded to the questionnaire. since they would be forced to determine w) tether the persons were undocumented or not. Hispanics are already undercounted at a rate five to six times that of the overall population. Since the census data is also used to redistrict State and local governments and to plan for local social and governmental services. it is important for it to be as complete and accurate as possible.
