President Biden issued an executive order allowing the inclusion of those in the country illegally to count in the census. One impact of the census count is congressional seats. 

Cameron County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez led an initiative to make sure everyone was counted in last year's census. 

Garza-Perez said some people were a little more timid to respond, and due to the pandemic, the numbers were lower than expected.
