As millions of migrants continue to cross the Southern border, Republicans are pushing a bill that would keep noncitizens from being counted on the Census. The Census, taking place every ten years, decides the number of congressional seats in a state and how the federal government distributes billions of dollars in funds. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TX) offered an amendment to a Senate funding bill last week that would have excluded illegal immigrants form the Census but it failed after 51 Democrats and Independents voted against the measure or were not present.

FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Rich Edson, FOX News Channel senior national correspondent, about the impact of illegal immigrants on the Census.
