Summary
Julio sits down with Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, and In The Thick All-Star guest Sandra Lilley, editor of NBC News-Latino, to discuss the 2020 Census and the newly added citizenship question. While breaking down the Census' problematic history of counting people of color, they highlight the serious and long-term repercussions of undercounting in the upcoming decennial census. We also find out "Where's Maria?" and catch up on the latest news, from Trump's outrage towards the Central American migrant caravan to Sinclair Broadcast Group's creepy Brady Bunch "dangerous democracy" promos.
