Adriano Espaillat: “Today, the Census begins to reach out to households across America. All communities across the country must be counted…”

“Today, the Census begins to reach out to households across America. All communities across the country must be counted, particularly those that are hard-to-count communities. The Census is for everybody. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we now face difficult challenges for the Census. The Census must be extended an additional 3 months so we can get an accurate count. (English translation of the statement made in Spanish is as follows:) Today we begin the census for families across the country. But due to the coronavirus pandemic we are going to face grand obstacles. The Census should be extended for 3 months to ensure a precise count. Hoy comenzamos el conteo del censo para familias a traves del pais pero por la creciente epidemia del coronavirus vamos a tener grandes obstaculos. El censo debe de ser extendido por tres meses para tener un conteo preciso. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York will provide a translation of his remarks to the Clerk. ____________________”
