[nun speaking spanish] o'brien: i'm soledad o'brien. welcome to "to matter of fact." from the campaign trail to the white house, a cornerstone of president trump's agenda has been his promise to build a wall between the united states and mexico to stop illegal immigration, but the political promise has proven hard for the president to fulfill. i traveled to the border in hidalgo county, texas, for a first-hand look at how this controversial policy is impacting the people who are living there. the border between the u.s. and mexico is nearly 2,000 miles long, and president trump certainly isn't the first president to build a physical barrier there. immigration policies dating back to president bill clinton and george w. bush walled off large sections of the border in california and arizona and new mexico, but large swaths of the southern texas border remain open, and that's because it's estimated that 95% of the land is privately owned, including a large portion in hidalgo county, and landowners there told our correspondent jess gomez they are not giving up their land

soledad: i'm soledad o'brien welcome to matter of fact. are you an american citizen? it turns out that simple question is causing a big controversy. the trump administration wants to include it in the 2020 u.s. census. the census bureau recommended against it but they were overruled by commerce secretary wilbur ross. the census bureau says the goal is to count people. and there are worries that families who have some members who are undocumented might ignore the census altogether because of the citizenship question. the census, of course, helps determine how many congressional seats and electoral college votes a state gets. it's used to draw political districts and determines how much federal funding states receive. democratic congressman gerry connolly from virginia is expected to chair the house subcommittee with jurisdiction over the census. it's so nice to have you with me to be with you. there plenty of people that say listen it's a fair question why not ask people you know the citizenship question it's a pretty straightforward question why not do it? rep. gerry
