The 2010 Census process is underway.
This constitutionally mandated effort will provide us with a snapshot of the
American nation, helping us to understand how it has evolved over the
years. For Mexicans and other immigrants who contribute with their work
and imagination to the greatness of this country, the Census represents
not only a right to be counted as a member of the national community, but
also a civic responsibility that must be taken seriously. An accurate and
complete count of all immigrant groups should be a priority, as an
undercount can seriously affect the communities in which they live.
This section will be enhanced in the following days with information and
links, so please check back regularly ... and be sure to send your census
form!
