There is a debate between latino leaders in the community over deciding if they should boycott illegal immigrant census. Christian leaders in the community advocate boycotting the 2010 Census until Congress addresses immigration reform. They feel that information gathered during the census targets the undocumented community by highlighting large concentrations of such communities, which leads to immigration sweeps. On the other hand, political leaders oppose the boycott, stating they should instead encourage immigrants to participate and be counted because they need to get their fair share of resources and representation.
