2030年人口普查的全面变革正在进行中，特朗普的批评者警告称，在他离任后要轻松改变方向的时间所剩无几。
Sweeping changes to the 2030 census are underway, and Trump’s critics warn time is running out to easily change course after he leaves office.
决定美国政治代表权——以及数十亿美元联邦资金分配——的下一次人口普查，将在唐纳德·特朗普总统离开白宫后进行。但他的政府正在采取行动，为这次普查留下自己的印记。
The next census determining America’s political representation — and billions of dollars in federal funding — will take place after President Donald Trump leaves the White House. But his administration is moving now to leave his mark on the count.
前人口普查局官员和批评特朗普政府的倡导者警告称，该机构目前正在推动的一些变革，可能会让未来的政府难以在2030年普查前及时扭转——特别是特朗普试图将无证移民从总人口数中剔除的做法。
Former Census Bureau officials and advocates critical of the Trump administration caution that some of the changes being put into motion now by the agency could be difficult for a future administration to reverse in time for the 2030 count — particularly Trump’s attempts to remove undocumented immigrants from the total count.
“十年一次的人口普查是一艘大船，如果你突然想让它左转，那是很难做到的，”前人口普查局首席人口学家兼人口项目副局长托里·维尔科夫说道。
“The decennial census is a big, big boat, and if you suddenly want to make a left turn, it’s hard to do that,” said Tori Velkoff, who was formerly the chief demographer and associate director for demographic programs at the Census Bureau.
9月，特朗普政府向联邦纪事增加了一项拟议规则，如果实施，将彻底改革宪法规定的全国人口普查中计算谁被计入人口的流程。
In September, the Trump administration added a proposed rule to the Federal which, if implemented, would overhaul the process for calculating who counts in the constitutionally required national census.
