Latino residents represent a predominant share of the population growth in New York, California, Texas, Arizona and Florida, making up more than 50 percent of total growth since 2000. As a result, those states could face big losses if there isn't full cooperation when the Census Bureau on Saturday begins knocking on the doors of those who did not respond by mail.

When the writer of this article says "losing out on congressional seats", he does not mean a reduction in the current House of Reps, he means the House may not GAIN as many racially based Representatives as thought.

There are only 435 House seats; they are distributed according to population according to the Census count. If one state doesn’t get them, another state will. The only state I would be concerned about is Arizona.
