Hispanic voters and civil-rights groups have asked to join a lawsuit over including people who are in the country illegally in U.S. Census counts.

It has been a long-standing practice to include noncitizens regardless of immigration status in the census, which also determines the number of congressional seats for each state.

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund have filed a motion on behalf of six voters and the group Chicanos Por La Causa, which are seeking to join the case.
