If successful, the campaign to get rid of differential privacy could not only radically change the kind of data made available, but could put the data of every person living in the US at risk. The campaign could also discourage immigrants from participating in the census entirely.

They'll probably use that to say trump was successful in getting rid of immigrants.

Then they'll crack down even harder on the undocumented ones since there will be less public evidence of what they do to them or how many they're are.
